I know this would be a slap on the wrist but if this guy actually illegally entered the country and was employed there, that the company was breaking the law and should be investigated as well to determine the fines/possible criminal charges.
Yeah, that’s why I had to put the word legally in there. Crazy times
S.24 - Government Employee Fair Treatment Act of 2019
Sponsored by a Senator from MD, signed into law by Trump. Vote was 411-7 with the only seven Nays coming from Republicans. Trump either agreed with it at the time or knew he couldn’t veto it as it has more than 2/3 support and would override his veto right after.
Legally they all will get paid, and acrue paid leave as normal during a government shutdown. The fact that the money isn’t set aside and able to be paid for say up to a year in case of said shutdown is kind of a disgrace. Government shutdowns like this didn’t happen until “recent history” (Ronald Reagan).
So congress was definitely behind the ball, but likely never knew they’d have to face a domestic threat like this until now. (Or presumably when Trump won president the first time and they decided to write the bill to mitigate damages)
Lol, guys an imbecile. Even if "millions were living in space somehow im 20 years it would have nothing but a bad effect on earth. Population growth has us set to be at 9.7 billion people in 2045 from 8.2 billion people now. So say you got 5,000,000 people in space, which we won’t, you’ve got 1,495,000,000 more people using resources on earth, and us sending resources into space to build shit. The cost to mine resources and maintain life in space would be so much harder than doing so on Earth, yet we can’t get Earth right. Terra-forming a planet is all but a myth to us at this point. We aren’t making acute changes to a planet we have everything to do it with on currently. Yet they think they’ll somehow convince people they can manipulate an entire planet/moon that has temperature fluctuations drastically more uninhabitable than earths. Everyone who moves to space will die, only an idiot would think otherwise. Why, because you can’t make peace on earth. We are already trying to bring weapons to space. It takes one suicidal person to end their entire community in space. When have we ever known someone willing to sacrifice a life to serve a cause. Today, yesterday, the day before, for every year mankind has existed. If you don’t create a peaceful utopia, it is certain death and a massive waste of resources.
Agreed, I think with automation and technological improvements the only way forward is to supplement people’s livings based off loss of work at a national level. 200 years ago, 70% of the U.S. were farmers. 1900, 38%. 1925, ~25%. 2025, less than 2%. Sure we can say about 10% of jobs surround agriculture in some way, but that is a drastic amount of work that has been offset. If we have offset 50% of the required work needed to keep our country fed, clothed and roofed, we need to develop ways to cut the workload by half for the people, and find other activities people can partake in that aren’t just about making someone else money.
Id say it’s more than a bit different. It would be like if you or I started going into work Monday and Tuesday, and skipping Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. Except yeah, they still get paid the same. To bad we couldn’t all have jobs like that.
I wasn’t sure so I went looking. It fluctuates, but 150 days a year is what I found. So that would be 50 days per 4 months. Or rather that they have shown up about 40% of the norm.
blazer suit jacket no let’s call it a leather jacket. It’s like whomever wrote this article has never seen a woman who works before.
Once overstayed a visa but is here legally now… Hmmm sounds like a certain Elon Musk admitted to such on TV if we remember.
I have a hard time believing this. Like I can’t get a job for the current company I am working for without submitting another background check, because my contract ends this weekend. So they had me file another one hoping it will come through by Monday. (I’m sure it won’t).
There is no way those officers didn’t also have background checks when they applied. You can’t apply to any government job, federal or state in any state I have lived in without one.
Step one to building the “Golden Dome,” create an environment where multiple nations Air Force bases can exist under the dome, you know, in case it had no purpose before
MAGA is be definition woke by what Desantis’s lawyers gave to the courts when attempting to use it in court. They stated woke was recognizing systematic issues in the government process. Which I would say that all of MAGAs campaign is about recognizing things wrong with the current system. Say… Cutting 100s of positions, trying to end the department of education and such.
Think it was 4.6% but it should be 100% plus inflation and jail sentences.
(Maybe removal of business license as well)
Note: take .33 percent of that 4.6 out for the lawyers, so the people get near 3% who were scammed
Up to 33% they said in the article. So 58 mil payout to the people, 28 mil to the lawyers
Only if the fines are paid to the government. If they fined them $2b do to the $1.9 billion in extra profits they made from this, they would still come out ahead do to the 6 years of having the free loan. And the $2 billion went to the consumers, it may actually make them not want to do it again.
No see, we created another billionaire and we’ll call it a win. That family will never need to work again.
This has occured at least 47 times I believe since Reagan started shutting down the government. If they got paid for all 46 other times, and not this one… It really should be pointing to this administration
They were approved though, meaning they had background checks done and have lived in this country with no incidents, right? Taking them away makes no sense unless they are caught actively committing a crime.
When was that, apparently I missed that. Apparently a few people know about it because at least 3 people downvoted for it haha.
