1. K&R! I see companies bring in a minority to qualify for certain contracts as a minority owned

business, when all it is is a sham. Bids are rigged, contracts are awarded based on who you know etc. Private prisons are a good example of the problem.

3. Yesterday I helped my brother-in-law sign up: slow but problem free

My wife and I took a laptop and a portable hot-spot and helped my brother-in-law sign up on healthcare.gov. The site was a little bit slow, that may have been due to our internet connection, but it worked without a single failure.

I do have one complaint: when asking for security questions, like 'what was the name of your first pet', it required us to enter letters and numbers. I have never seen that before.

So we entered 'Fluffy123' and completed signing him up successfully.
