Most places treat their water with chlorine or chloramine. Way better than having amoebas but if you can afford a filter do so.

Abbott's neighbor's tree branch fell on him. He sued his neighbor and used the money to run for governor. He immediately changed the law so lawsuits like his are capped and no one else can sue for as much as he won. I prefer to call him "limp dick Greg" but some like "little piss baby"

How old do you think the mainframes running Social Security are?
No. Java is not suited for this. This code runs on mainframes not some x86 shitbox cluster of dell blades. They literally could not purchase the hardware needed to switch to java in the timeline given. I get what you're trying to say but in this case Java is a hard no.
