HELL SERPENT

quote:

President Joe Biden’s coronavirus stimulus package outlines a one-time $1,400 check to families financially affected by the virus.

Yet the fine print in the House stimulus bill sneaks in this fascinating nugget: If you’re a federal employee, you can receive $1,400 a week in paid time off for 15 weeks if you decide to stay at home and virtually school your child.

As first reported by Forbes, the carve-out is included in the bill’s $570 million “Emergency Federal Employee Leave fund,” which is exclusively reserved for federal employees.

Among those eligible are those who are “unable to work” because they are caring for school-aged children not physically in school full time “due to COVID-19 precautions[.]”

The new fund allows a federal employee “caring for a son or daughter” to qualify for the paid leave, specifically “if the school or place of care of the son or daughter has been closed, if the school of such son or daughter requires or makes optional a virtual learning instruction model or requires or makes optional a hybrid of in-person and virtual learning instruction models, or the childcare provider of such son or daughter is unavailable, due to COVID-19 precautions.

...

As Forbes notes, the drafting of the federal employee leave fund is intentionally sloppy. It doesn’t include age requirements for the children (meaning federal employees could apply for this leave even if their children are attending college), and it also would allow for government employees to receive the benefit even if their child could be in school five days a week, but the employee chooses a virtual option instead.

I'm not sure how this makes ICE/CBP bad. They're just the government organizations that are responsible for taking care of migrant children crossing the border. ICE is bad for all the poo poo they did during the Trump admin, but them taking custody of migrant minors is necessary in this case.

Fascinated as someone still fairly new to reading That Thread to see how its denizens respond to Epstein discourse because there's no coherent explanation for him not being one specifically purposed node in an unthinkably powerful international network but acknowledging this requires you to acknowledge the existence of a motivated and organized ruling class in the first place

I want to see how the lib thought maintains its shapelessness in the face of that. Assuming Epstein himself was a lone wolf, or a kingpin maybe? I gotta know

My "vacation" is a euphemism for war tourism in Ukraine for some "bloody work" to escape my boring techie job and family.

Ask me about my warcrimes.

I mean, it did. It's the most progressive and socialist move since the new deal. Yes you didn't get a pony. But even Saint Sanders railed against immigrations, women's issues, and gay rights because abandoning those issues completely and throwing them all to the wolves is the only way to build a full "working class" movement.


Pick one, social issues or economics, you don't get both. And if you dare say economics it does mean you are a racist woman hater and part of the Tucker Carlson club.

We got our answer from that Alexander Rick Ross guy from earlier: if you believe Epstein didn't kill himself, you are a conspiracy theorist due to fall in with the alt-right crowd any day now

Epstein was a singleton pedophile that got caught, and he killed himself because prison conditions were so bad that it caused his mental health to deteriorate, much like the unfortunate case of Sandra Bland
