She was fired because a man (without affiliation with walmart) entered the women’s restroom and verbally assaulted her. He wasn’t just factually wrong assuming that a woman can’t be tall, he entered a space that he knew he wasnt supposed to enter.
Really? I’ve only had one job that required my social security card. I’ve worked in multiple school districts, as well as food and hospitality jobs and only 1 of the school districts wanted to see my social security card.
It’s my understanding another party needs 5% of the vote in an election to get federal money and news coverage.
There’s also a clause where you agree not to perform an abortion while on duty.
It’s really weird and probably comes from Abbott saying that all money from the state supports Israel and that no money is used to fund an abortion.
Not just corporations, but also individuals with a government contract and may also apply to government/school district employees
In Texas, if you have a contract with the state or a school district, you have to sign a contract where you agree not to “boycott israel” whatever that means. So I guess if one was to “boycott israel” while taking money from the state of Texas, that could be considered an illegal boycott.
It’s the death panels they warned us they would implement when arguing against the ACA when Obama was in office.
Yes. I have a friend in meteorology and they said that the Weather Channel doesn’t actually have any meteorologists on staff, they just repackage what NOAA and the NWS report instead of crunching numbers themselves.
Probabaly a mix of lowering government costs to give billionaires a tax break and if we don’t monitor it the climate change numbers don’t get worse.
Some of them want to be subservient. I’ve heard some even lament voting before. The Christian brainwashing is pervasive to all parts of life.
Don’t worry, Republicans already have that as a goal in their Project 2025. They said the NWS should only gather data and all forecasting should be commercialized. Also that no data support ant side of the “climate debate”. It’ll get here soon enough, once musk companies are protected from safety investigations.
Forgot about the part that those fired were going to investigate SpaceX for an explosion 3-4 days prior to their firing.
Reminds me of Margaret Thatcher in The Crown insusting that her regressive economic policies was medicine and that the interim pain was temporary.
There’s a movement in the American churches where members are told to fill their quiver, AKA have a lot of kids. I wouldn’t be surprised if an order like this came from the christian nationalists with project 2025. They are wanting to build up their own communities and spurn the areas that they aren’t populating.
Edit: those kind of people also say that allowing donations to churches to be tax deductible is god’s way of rewarding them for tithing. They want the government to reward them for their beliefs.
I assume he said Golden age because of the shower we are getting under Trump.
Especially since the CDC and NIH can’t make public announcements currently unless there is a health emergency, which of course is up for review. Even if the pause is short, there could still be updates to the avian flu or other diseases that they can tell us about and the review process they are implementing could greatly hamper their ability to defend against future pandemics.
Edit: evidently it’s not just a communication freeze for the NIH (National Institutes of Health)
Openly since the Patriot Act
Next year will be when bird flu spreads to humans. It’s my understanding that they found a mutated avian flu virus that was adapting to human respiratory systems in one of the people who died from avian flu. Thankfully it didn’t spread from that person, but I imagine it’s just a matter of time given how the Trump administration handled the last novel virus to affect humans.
Oh, I didn’t realize they were available on blackberries and the first iPhone.
I remember there was a lot of confusion in the 90s when email was introduced to teachers and late 90s when attendance was inputted into a computer program. Getting a 60 year-old professor to not only use a smart phone, but to utilize them in a lecture when they’ve only used books and a blackboard for the last ~40 years of their career would be difficult. Boomers and Silent Generation had a hard enough time figuring out how to use a TV remote, let alone figuring out how to allow students to access a URL via QR code embedded into a PowerPoint presentation.
Especially polls with less than 1,500 people surveyed
