excluded men because they don't have that organ*. So much for its
inclusivity, right from the start!

may lead to rational underinvestment in cybersecurity by the private sector
relative to the socially optimal level of investment.”

A Russian view of 'spiritless' America....
Recently the mid-term elections were held in the USA. The bottom line is
President Trump strengthened his position in the upper chamber of the
American parliament. He gained a majority in the Senate.
It means there will be no impeachment. Trump will remain in office.
But in the lower chamber of the Congress, in the House of Representatives,
Trump lost his position. Now, he has a minority there.
Since it is the Congress that determines the country's foreign policy, this
means that it will be obviously impossible for Russia to agree on major
issues with Trump.
