Coast Guard tried to go with follicle testing over urinalysis for the merchant marine and companies shut it down immediately. Mostly due to the cost of testing but not one of them isn't worried about labor.

Davos is an irrelevant conference where the rich but irrelevant go to hob nob and pretend they are relevant. Its mandatory for CEOs if their company is circling the drain (see Carly Fiorina).

A.o.D. posted:As near as I can tell what he did was Illegally help people who were already in country find otherwise normal jobs in violation of their Visa status, to include giving them rides to and from their workplaces. The fact that some of those people were women meant that the charges read as HUMAN TRAFFICKING WOMEN. He was never charged with human trafficking as far as I can tell, just a bunch of people here making things up.

Does the major belong to the sergeant? Or is it sergeants' major being the major belongs to multiple sergeants?

CRUSTY MINGE posted:I've heard it both ways and seen it written both ways. I think if it's broadly plural, it's sergeants. Singular or individual, sergeant. The full title would be sergeant major so the plural would be sergeant majors. Putting the plural at sergeants would indicate the major is separate or theres a comma (sergeants, major or major sergeants) if it was spoken. At least in English it would be a little funny to break it up like that. Or at least that's how I would read it but I'm basically illiterate.

Flikken posted:Anyone heard anything about the student loan freeze, isn't it almost up again?? Extended to 8/31. I think they are trying to make it a permanent extension at this point but its mostly about buying time while they figure out a way for forgiveness.

M_Gargantua posted:They're going to extend it until republicans win without actually cancelling it, because cancelling it would help them actually win while making their donors angry and they don't want that. President doesn't have power to cancel but they have been working on increasing forgiveness as much as possible, as well as using the extensions. Canceling is with the legiature and Dems barely control the senate.

facialimpediment posted:Uncle Joe can read polls too. They've been trying to cancel them but there is debate about the president having the ability to do so. In the meantime they have been using the extensions and expanding forgiveness a bunch. My preference is to expand schooling to 16 years with 13-16 in college or tech school. Just canceling them is good but what about the people that come after?

maffew buildings posted:drat if they forgive student loan debt this is going to be so unfair to everyone who paid theirs off such as boomers who got masters degrees when they cost $473 and you could still smoke around babies indoors in public Already heard this multiple times. Also thats the anti intellectualism party so its not like they see fewer college grads and poorer education overall as a bad thing.

Cugel the Clever posted:This has always been my fear. Actually addressing the root of the problem seems to go completely unmentioned for sake of trumpeting the sexier debt cancellation, understandably, but, if debt cancellation goes forward on its own, I don't see the more foundational fix having any political legs until the next batch of debt-burdened students grows to sufficient size to be politically worth rescuing. College prices will continue to go wild because we'll keep shoveling money into a system that knows it can keep asking more. This is where I'm at. So cancel debt but figure out a way to ensure at least two more years of schooling with preferably 4. Nick Soapdish posted:Irish Joe still owes me $600 If you qualified for every relief check you also got a note on the final one saying the initial $600 + the $1400 was the $2000.

boop the snoot posted:We can’t even cancel the student debt we have and you want to throw more hurdles in the way? I mean you could actually discuss it but instead we get to Proud Christian Mom posted:They don't actually want to cancel student debt or address any of the other stuff they're pearl clutching over So instead of considering it critically we just decide to put words in someone's mouth. This is a temporary bandaid that lasts until the next term and then what? Cancel the debt and then come up with free schooling. This doesn't even address the "do anything at all because they haven't done anything" people that want to ignore everything because it didn't happen today. The deferments alone are worth ~$5500 on average so far. Edit: Nick Soapdish posted:https://youtu.be/KbDJJ782MfY?t=324 NM its pointless we are just going to argue about $600 forever cause Dems have lovely messaging.

Noone wants to forgo the tourniquet but it lasts until the next semester and then the cycle starts all over. Instead we have "do anything" and are upset when anything is done cause it wasn't enough.bird food bathtub posted:While their messaging is lovely compared to the right wing hatred propaganda machine, they aren't making it any easier on themselves when the foundation of their messaging is "better things aren't possible". Maybe if they spent an election or two saying "We fixed <thing> for you. Vote for us and we'll do more of that." they would have a much stronger, more resonant message. If you don't like the better things aren't possible message then why wouldn't you support increased schooling for everyone with debt cancellation? The logic is baffling. Cancellation benefits the rich to the greatest degree. Poor and minorities will struggle to get 2 years of extra education and borrow less while the debt will impact them more. lightpole fucked around with this message at 15:43 on Apr 27, 2022 |

maffew buildings posted:I've been saying this for years glad Mittens agrees Youre trolling right, this isn't real? The middle carries around $25k/family in debt, the bottom 0, the top ~$300K. While you give more to the bottom like this, you aren't necessarily improving their condition or wealth inequality, youre just giving money to the rich under the guise of populist policy. If you actually gave a poo poo about fairness or equality it would be better to give direct payments of some form.
