  • In 2019, during the first Trump administration, Ken Cuccinelli, whom Trump appointed as acting director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, revised a line from the poem in support of the administration’s “public charge rule”, which would have rejected would-be immigrants who lacked adequate income and education to support themselves. Cuccinelli would have rewritten the caveat as, “Give me your tired and your poor who can stand on their own two feet, and who will not become a public charge”. He later suggested that the “huddled masses” should be European, and he downplayed the poem as “not actually part of the original Statue of Liberty.”

    I’ve read one of their links, and although it shows Orwell to be an asshole, racist, bigot, and anti-Stalin; it still doesn’t make sense as a ground for other statements, especially him being imperialist.

  • I would guess that in Data Science some things would require you to use local timezone because they are dependent on the actual time of day, and some would require synchronization so use of UTC. Also, some timezones are way off the sunlight time and would skew the data that has dependency on daylight and not on hours
