In the face of the US DOJ threatening Google (Alphabet) with selling off Chrome, and possibly even Android, I have some ideas that Google really, really might want to consider. Also - what the DOJ is trying to do is not just going to be tough on Google. It will be tough on certain other browsers, too, and bad for millions of users of Google's services. See if you think what I'm saying makes sense here.
1. Header flag bits for receipts and orders that cause automatic starring & block deletion.
2. "Delete all from sender" (except receipts & orders) email cleanup tool.
3. "Delete Lock" to prevent deletion of a message during email cleanup options.
4. "Block Sender" option to cut down on spam.
5. Multiple addresses for the same account to allow separation of business, personal, special projects or intetests.
6. Google "suggestion box" address accessible only from within Gmail for submitting ideas like this list. Address is invisible and hidden from users, and always defaults to being in the BCC field to prevent spammers from discovering it. Address is receive-only, never sent from.
7. Users are credited publicly for ideas that Google uses, on a permanent basis.

Oklahoma
was one of four states to source at least 30% of its electricity needs
from wind in 2017, during which it increased its installed wind capacity
850 megawatts, or nearly 13%, according to the American Wind Energy
Association. Wind Coalition Oklahoma Director Mark Yates touted the
state's impressive wind assets and corresponding ability to attract
Fortune 500 companies.

Thoughts on the quantum brain by a long-time friend, Eric James:
"Interesting.
There's no doubt that the brain/mind is much more than what it appears
to be. Things like imagination and inspiration, instincts and reflexes,
conscious and subconscious (& unconscious) awareness, etc... Are
great mysteries. I'm glad that this is
being explored by scientists, but even if they don't have these answers
already, would they be willing to share such knowledge with the general
public? I personally would like to know how consciousness is intertwined with life and death.
What level of unconsciousness results in death?
Or
What level of consciousness is needed for life, and subsequently self awareness?
For someone in a coma or vegetative state, can they be reached subconsciously or are they self aware?Answers
that can be unlocked by the scientists research. But again, I don't
think they would release this information fully. But I am hopeful." - My response is in the video.
