Personnel
gollark: It's all very secretive, so it's hard to actually do much with it, and in the US the NSA blatantly violates laws and gets their stuff retroactively allowed.
gollark: They ALLEGEDLY use it for that, but in practice... not really.
gollark: Education that prepares you for BEES prepares you for life, by that sort of logic.
gollark: A very small one, though.
gollark: Bees are also a part of life.
