someone on DU made a good point:quote:I find it strange that no outrage was given when buses were loaded for New York City, Chicago, Washington DC (even in front of the Vice President house!). But 50 go to Martha’s Vineyard and now the attention is everywhere. why is this so different when the buses have been going to big cities from texas for months? why is this the kidnapping & trafficking whereas the others weren't? is it bc the immigrants were flown there? is it bc it's such a small place that the govs knew they'd be transported elsewhere so they chose it for the optics? is it bc the obamas have a home there? all of the above?

eg, from the nyt:quote:Since April, Gov. Greg Abbott of Texas has bused over 7,900 migrants from the state to Washington, D.C. In August, he began sending migrants to New York. Now, Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida is getting in on the act, sending two planeloads of migrants to Martha’s Vineyard in Massachusetts. since april.

spacemang_spliff posted:what the gently caress is a career point points are extremely common in blue collar work from my experience. Last place I worked wasn't as free with giving out points as that, and you actually got time off, but unscheduled time off without sick days got you a point, and it took 6 months without a point to come off unless you had 3+ points, in which case they took 1 year of not getting points to all come off at once. 5+ points was instant firing

also the railroad will start the clock for your "time off" even if they've put you in the middle of loving nowhere far far away from your actual home. https://twitter.com/babyyyeahhhh/status/1571147963627634688 so instead of getting to enjoy 24 hours with your family you get to enjoy 24 hours in gillette wyoming.

Substandard posted:It must pay well? Why would anyone sign up for this poo poo? Yeah, my understanding is that it pays extremely well, or at least it did. Had a friend of a friend who was an engineer and managed to retire in his late 40s because he worked nonstop and banked everything until he had gently caress-you money.

people who made these HR policies are the same people who think the way to increase school achievement is "force parents to come to meetings and if they don't come, expel the student" that's a very sort of liberal scolding observation but I've made it! it's come out

quote:Omar is standing in the Pottery Barn-style kitchen of his Los Angeles home, which is packed with the vegan food McLain has gotten him hooked on lately. He's talking about the future of Occupy Democrats: the video studio he plans to build in what is now the master bedroom, the meetings he's scheduling with Democratic Party brass. Then he makes a bold pronouncement. And what did Hillary do? quote:He tried to get hands-on last year. In the final weeks before the election, Omar says, he offered his assistance to the Clinton campaign. But he was ignored until the very end, when they gave him a small amount of funding to promote "Pantsuits for Hillary Clinton" videos. Meanwhile, according to a Bloomberg report, the Trump campaign was spending millions of dollars on Facebook "dark posts" — so named because they aren't public. One example was a cartoon of Clinton accompanied by text saying she "thinks African Americans are super predators," which targeted certain African-American voters. The goal? To persuade them not to go to the polls.

Same kinda deal. You'd accrue points for using sick time or calling out. Get too many and you'd end up with a warning or fired. Only way to lose points was to work holidays. They also mandated 12 days on followed by 2 days off as the standard schedule. Paid well but the place was a poo poo show.
