BANNER HEALTH HACKED



Over 3.7 million customers insured by Banner Health have had their computer files hacked, including names, birthdates, social security numbers and more.  Those paying premiums with credit and debit cards have also had that information compromised. 

COMMENTS:
There are many national retailers who want you to submit such information in order to get their discount program cards.  If you don’t cough up the information, you can’t get discounts.  Avoid them like the plague, because going through the hassle of dealing with identity theft is no pleasant experience and any retailer can be hacked. 
 
TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. How do you feel about the employee who was fired from Jack-in-the-Box for giving a veteran free tacos?  Are you going to join the boycott?  (Chauncey ~ Davenport, IA)
A. Keep in mind as I respond that I am a vet myself.  The decision as to whether or not any customer…cop, veteran or otherwise… can have some freebie is solely within the owner’s or manager’s territory.  It’s their business to run and, frankly, the fast food business operates on a very thin margin. People say the two tacos were only worth 99 cents retail.  If the employee felt that strongly about giving the free meal and if management had said he didn’t have the authority to do that, he should have reached into his own pocket to pay for the meal.  True charity begins in the heart, not at someone else’s expense. Obviously, the kid is a left-wing Democrat. 

Q. Isn’t aerial spraying for the Zika mosquitoes dangerous to humans? (Vern ~ Germantown, TN)  
A. There are some inherent dangers in all chemicals, but who wants to contract the virus?  They are also going to transplant and release some insect-eating bats in an effort to reduce the mosquito population.  That, of course, means that Hillary will be out on the fly… 

Q. Any word on that mysterious light that appeared over the famous Saint Louis Arch?  (Melanie ~ Tacoma, WA)
A. Nobody knows what it was and nobody is denying it was a UFO.  Maybe it was God, trying to shed a little light on His subjects…  It could also have been a State Department drone carrying $400 million someplace…
