Medicare pays first ...... then Tricare for Life. I know, I am on Medicare and Tricare for Life myself.

Qreat work OUC my water brother but Q …really it’s just a kid in his parents basement. Playing a LARP.

After making life hard on the refineries via regulations and fines they want to do this. I hope they give the refineries to them and they come in to find the place is made out of paper mache.

Never thought about it until just now, I never worked in the dark, My efforts, production, contributions were center stage. No where to hide and I never resented it, in fact, I reveled in the experience. Never had to call attention to it, it was a given.

Here's a thought. Wait until the land around DC hits bottom, buy it up, re-wild it as a protected zone restricting travel and occupancy, under a private partnership.

A gulch maybe.

Glad you are better ;-)

Here's another idea regarding "justifying employment". What if there are ghost accounts. A non-response prompts investigation. If there are disbursements, stop them, then investigate the recipient trail for fraud.
This works for SS, Medicare, Medicaid and a host of other departmental employees/activities.

Makes me wonder about my County/City/school systems. Already found Act Blue fraud in my area.

Yeah, not everyone supports it.
At least you found out.

Maybe you can license the tech to CA.

I agree completely. I always heard a simpler version of this: If you want something done, give it to someone who is busy.

Bongino just might be the one to talk them all into no redactions, period.

Didn't work at frontier.com

I had a business that did that, but Obama convinced enough of my customers to take solar energy freebies. Your comment is part of my shrug story.

I had a good run with a state government. Here's the deal. The Pareto Principal is alive in well in state government. Take the square root of the number of people in the staff and understand that that many of them are doing 90% of the work. Once you establish yourself in that you're one of the workers, you work! You are expected to work. You're held to a higher standard. Those in the worker class should be able to easily keep their jobs. The rest are squabbling about it. Screw em... When I left my post the top chief (who I get along with great) asked me for one piece of advice. I said, "Close the office in the southern half of the state." They were unsupervised and a constant source of problems. He already knew it...

I have an old unopened bottle of rum, which was "28 anos" when I brought three bottles through customs in my backpack from Mexico City, back when I could tell Customs and they didn't even bother to look at it.
I may break that out if the Epstein list comes out unredacted, or I might save that for one of Trump's / Elon's other escapades ;^)

As I understand it, LinkedIn is run by Microsoft, so you can pretty much expect them to act like that.
I only keep LinkedIn contacts with work-related people I know. I get offers to "link" with others every day, usually East Indian headhunters who don't actually know or understand my field, and I don't bother to read anyone's comments there, but mostly when I get an email notification that "someone said something...", I still have to log in and hunt for it to read it. So what. I just recieved my second Socialist Insecurity check, and my company laid me off two weeks ago, a little sooner that expected, but screw it. i have yard work to do and a book to write which has been hanging fire for too long.
PS, Abaco, I lost my Dad too, ten years and four days ago, and I don't think as much about him these days, but sometimes, when I'm dreaming, I find he's off to the side, watching and not saying anything but giving silent approval, which is what he used to do.

The 'refinery' will probably specialize in converting used fryer oil to use in biodiesel engines.
Construction cost will be over $100 billion and they'll expect the fedgov to cover their losses like TBTF banks.
How could 45 million fast food customers be wrong?

I have seen quite a bit of pro-Trump stuff on there too. Nevertheless, I prefer free-speech over blocked speech.

Pfft! LinkedIn has been a steaming turd on the sidewalk of life since its inception!

I was banned from Linkedin for posting I would not go on a date with an obese woman. Free at last!

+1 for those five words:" It;s all...ALL about control."

Bill Clinton, the most frequent flyer. Ever wonder why he is no longer visible? Guilty conscience?

If they ever actually arrive.

Oh I am not having any trouble at all figuring it out. The answer is: look at who is/was benefitting from the waste, fraud and abuse, and then look at who will benefit from the reform of those same things. This is valid fast past LinkedIn, but LI is a microcosm of just what you are saying.

Ayn Rand didn't use the term "moochers" lightly.
