ReplyDeleteThis is interesting to see the difference in news that is happening in Gainesville. Data protection is an issue in everyday life, Medical documents have their own specific laws that are followed this is surprising that the data wasn’t properly protected. I am glad that the UF student has seen so much support from the community. The Supreme Court Judge presents a conflict between the man’s accomplishments and also supporting the #Metoo Movement. Traffic is always an issue in any city, I am not surprised that there is confusing on speed limits. I am glad there are resources for families of children with disabilities.
ReplyDeleteThere are definitely some big business opportunities. There is a lot going on in Gainesville apparently! I have see multiple people highlight the arrival of Clarence Thomas in their opportunity posts. This is interesting, because I don't immediately see a business opportunity connected to that. However, because people are so motivated by it, I am sure there is something you could do as it relates to this issue. As you point out, it's not the first time we have had this problem on campus either! Students are probably really eager for a solution.
