Sanguinia posted:They might have some legal obligations under their employment contracts? Like "If we call you in you have to work regardless of if we're paying you or we can fire you at will regardless of any other protections from firing you may enjoy as a benefit of this contract." You seem to be under the mistaken impression that people like TSA employees, or indeed pretty much anyone in the country who's not already rich, actually have employment contracts. That luxury is reserved for CEOs and other golden parachute types. The proles instead get to sign noncompetes and mandatory arbitration agreements binding them to the employer while the employer is obligated to do jack and poo poo. With that said, I find it likely that at some point here competent judges are going to start treating this as constructive dismissal and start opening the door for immediate unemployment claims at the least.

And I'm no genius! Whenever someone starts with the phrase "never in the history of our country" there's about a 90% chance they haven't checked and are about to make a fool of themselves.

A much higher top marginal tax rate is extremely my thing mainly because think of all the cool stuff that was built in the 50s. We haven’t publicly built cool things as a nation in like 40 years

We won 1/1 major wars, went 1/2 in minor wars, landed on the moon, and built the interstate highway system with a 90% marginal tax rate. Tax the gently caress out of capital gains and we'll end up visiting Alpha Centauri in 4-12 years and funding cold fusion.

Both of which will involve building a bunch of new poo poo even thought it doesn't seem like it in the first place. Think of all the new clinics, solar panel/windmill/nuclear plants (yeah i'm a nuke guy), EV vehicles. DiggityDoink fucked around with this message at 10:40 on Jan 23, 2019 |

And of these 3 games, only Fallout 76 is so bad it deserves a special place in Hell. Fallout 4 comes close with its fake dialogue system which is completely exposed with a mod that let's you see your actual responses. It's like they forgot how to make a game.

I think the most aggravating obnoxious thing this Administration loving does is cite God and Jesus for loving every stupid loving thing they do. I know that's the GOP's general gimmick, but I really feel like this admin in particular does it if they so much as schedule a press conference Shut the gently caress up and do your job. And stop using Jesus to defend your insane inhumane policies.

“Leave it to God” is the final version of the Republican reply of “we don’t care”. Global warming? Leave to God! Poor kids get cancer? Leave it to God! I just wonder how kids in school learning this poo poo in 25 years are gonna feel after they read this in history class, then head out to lunch to have the “cockroach and cricket surprise” protein supplement plop down on their plate. Yep, we could’ve done something about this, but we left it to God and he hosed up.

That luxury is reserved for CEOs and other golden parachute types. The proles instead get to sign noncompetes and mandatory arbitration agreements binding them to the employer while the employer is obligated to do jack and poo poo. Federal employees are very often under employment contracts, negotiated by their unions. They aren't the "gently caress you" things foisted on private sector workers because collective bargaining means that professional negotiators were involved and everything was vetted by attorneys on both sides. The bargaining agreements often do have dispute resolution processes which go through arbitration but as far as I know those are never of the mandatory secret with no appeal to the courts type of deal. The agreements are already being used as part of court challenges. So far the only ruling I've heard of was a court declining to issue an injunction to prohibit the government from requiring ATCs and other essential employees to come in to work (not because the case was unlikely to succeed but because court was unable to really figure out how such an injunction would play out), but as this drags on there will be more cases heard and eventually one of them will catch and have an injunction issued. I suspect that the IRS employees being forced back to work might be the ones who win first because their work is really really not what falls under the narrow exceptions in the law covering shutdowns and we already know what happens when they don't work because they weren't working until recently.
