Does this level of rescheduling allow for banking in the industry? That's been a big one keeping people on the black market from what I understand. Not easy to set up a business when all your business paperwork has to say "And none of our money technically exists to comply with federal regulations."

Still should be legal at the federal level, though, and ideally should stop loving over people who want to get security clearances or not lie on a 4473. Would be nice. I let my clearance lapse before I started using it like six years ago, and now that I work in IT, it would be really nice to regain it so I could get some of that sweet sweet cleared IT jobs money. But I'm not dumb enough to risk lying about it, and I don't really care to just stop using it for a year only to get an investigator who's still going to be stupid about it.

You can do a lot of the things your not supposed to do and get a clearance. This generally only applies if: You are in the military and have kept your nose clean for the most part. You don’t lie. You did all the stupid clearance ending poo poo before you joined. Your references are solid. Caveat: I haven’t dealt with this poo poo in a decade. Toke up, gently caress the security state.

When I joined the Army I admitted I had smoked weed for my clearance and also at medical in processing I think. They asked me about it in my OCS board and I just said I had tried it and don't use it anymore and that was the last I ever heard about it. If they actually didn't accept people for smoking weed there would be nobody in the military or with clearances.

The long-suffering student journalists at Columbia's WKCR radio station continue their live coverage, audibly devastated by the violence their school has inflicted and the threats made against them by officers.

I like how Popehat put it: https://bsky.app/profile/kenwhite.bsky.social/post/3krffjhdord2x quote:Occupying a building (and entering it by force) is qualitatively different than occupying a lawn, and is likely to draw qualitatively different responses. A wise university would still make its response proportional and measured, but students can expect less patience. original sin was calling in the loving NYPD riot cops on a lawn tent protest and probably the last moment to stop the mutual escalation ramp also on net this mostly means nothing and people will rapidly forget after the semester ends

I work in higher ed in a security management role, albeit one that has nothing whatsoever with on-campus safety and security. I’m simply astounded by how badly these universities are handling this issue. It would cost pennies on the dollar to provide portable sanitation and other measures to mute the impact of a student camp-out in a public space, and would present a hell of a lot less reputational risk than Instagram videos of cops kicking the poo poo out of protestors. And an escalatory response merits an escalatory response- disperse an encampment from the quad and watch the protestors occupy a university building. These kids want to be seen and more importantly heard. Give them the time and space to do so. This is exactly what academia is for.
