Because there is very little to be gained by those American billionaires in this issue, so why would he pull this insane stunt? There is a lot to be gained by Russia, though. There is also the constant stream of verbal praise Trump has for Putin that he doesn’t show for any other person except maybe Musk (who is the richest person on the planet).
This is a huge topic in the veterinary community right now. They have multi-hundreds of thousands in loans and are on income-based repayment plans that take 20 years or more to pay back. Many are being told that they will be moved to a 10-year fixed repayment at the next review cycle.
Imagine going to school for 12 years, having $250,000 in ONLY school debt (ignoring any house/car debt). You are on a plan to pay off your debt based on how much you can actually afford, which for some is around $500-$800/month. Now, a new president comes in and says your effort to be financially stable and work towards the future is dumb, so pay it back at $2500/mo instead. You don’t need a car or mortgage or childcare, right?
Depends on how fancy your house is, but basically it’s a very small room connected to a second entrance of your house to take off dirty shoes and wet coats before going into the clean area of the house. For most people it’s a combo laundry room connected to their garage.
I can’t read the article, since it is behind a paywall.
I’m going to assume she was denied promotion because she was insufferable to work with and that all her coworkers were sick of her shit.
And zero punishment was given to the people who were hiring them.
You are the one who is arguing that this sheriff, who has a full time job with a higher rank in the same office as before, should still be receiving disability.
I was on disability for a time and was not allowed to work at all while on it. Once I was able to work again, I was taken off disability.
So you think it’s totally cool to have a person collect disability payments for years and years while working a full time job that pays even more than the job they are collecting disability from?
I get workman’s comp and suing for injuries incurred from a job, but at some point it is ridiculous to pay someone a full salary to not do anything when they are CLEARLY capable of performing the same job they are being paid to not do.
The point of disability is that you are unable to do a job and need assistance to continue living. This person is a sheriff NOW. His disability was from when he was a lieutenant with the sheriff’s office. So he is being paid because he can’t be a lieutenant but is perfectly fine being a sheriff?
I very much disagree.
The reason business owners hire people who aren’t citizens is because they are cheap labor. Not only are they taking advantage of people who have very little choice in who will hire them and need a job to feed their families, they are not creating jobs that pay a living wage for people who are citizens. If your business model requires slave labor to be successful, then you shouldn’t be in business.
Instead of criminalizing the people just trying to feed their families, criminalize the people who are taking advantage of people in a tough circumstance. It’s not difficult to show that you did your due diligence in trying to assess citizenship.
That was one of the most disgusting and rage-inducing videos I’ve ever seen. I would not have been able to restrain myself from punching Trump in the fucking nose if he had talked to me like that. I’m not a tough guy or violent in any way, and the Secret Service would have killed me, but the way he yells such insulting things at a world leader who is trying to save millions of lives… holy crap. And then Vance jumps in and claims he never said Thank You. I would’ve kicked him in the nuts and said, “thank you, now I feel better.”
This was a setup from the get go. They had no intention of signing any deal. This was all to get him in front of cameras with them so they could piss on his face and act like tough guys.
