Watch Out for Those Garbage Compactors

As if we all don't have enough to worry about, what with wars, climate change, Covid and RSV, rampant crime, a demented President, a mentally challenged Vice President and a wholly moronic populous, now inanimate machinery is out to get us! Perhaps the result of recent advances in AI, or it could be the work of aliens from another planet (proof of which our  government has in its possession). Whatever the cause, the following news item from USA TODAY appeared on my computer's home page this morning:

"A 24-year-old woman, who went missing after leaving work on Friday, was found dead in the garbage compactor in the basement of a luxury condominium building, the New York Police Department said. The police said that no foul play is suspected as per initial investigation.

The woman, a resident of Brooklyn, was found a little after 2:30 p.m. on Friday, when the police responded to a 911 call at a condominium building in Manhattan. Upon arrival, NYPD officers discovered a 24-year-old female unconscious and unresponsive in the garbage compactor in the basement of the building. Authorities said that medics pronounced her deceased at the scene. Police did not specify how the woman ended up at the building, as she was not a resident there."
