darcy , to Work Reform in "Clarence Thomas Secretly Accepted Luxury Trips From Major GOP Donor" - this is why the system is rigged against us.

This should be a major scandal.

seeCseas OP Mod ,

yes it should. but the rules for the aristocracy are different.

Sorenchu ,

Spot on. The “elites” and their puppets will not face consequences because they designed the system to benefit themselves. He will continue to be a corrupt parasite and make rulings that will take rights away from people not of the moneyed class.

That’s shit. The ATA is garbage and only fights for the megacarriers.

As a former truck driver who has had the misfortune to be involved in TWO underride collisions I would happily spend the $3000 or so out of my own pocket just to never see what I saw again. (I won’t go into details as I do not want to relive those memories)

Obviously there’s limits on what’s practical to do, but seeing as this all worked out fine in Europe I’d call it a no brainer.

I love the smell of regulatory capture in the morning.

Gumby , to U.S. News in Mississippi Says Poor Defendants Must Always Have a Lawyer. Few Courts Are Ready to Deliver.

I thought this was a federal law for years. Have poor people been trying to defend themselves all these years?

wheeville ,

Or pressured into taking plea deals without advice of counsel for the sake of closing cases.

SnowboardBum , to Politics in How Harlan Crow Slashed his Tax Bill by Taking Clarence Thomas on Superyacht Cruises

The rich get away with everything.

Funny how people are targeting politicians when it's actually the rich they should be targeting. Politicians are just a symptom of the disease.

Sharpiemarker ,

Are Supreme Court Justices politicians?

Ganondorf ,
@Ganondorf@kbin.social avatar

No, but on this iteration of the SCOTUS? What's the difference?

Hello_there , to Politics in How Harlan Crow Slashed his Tax Bill by Taking Clarence Thomas on Superyacht Cruises

Don't worry guys. We can just pass more tax cuts and the job creators will use their mega yachts more, creating jobs!

ApathyTree , to Politics in Maternal Deaths Are Expected to Rise Under Abortion Bans, but the Increase May Be Hard to Measure
@ApathyTree@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

It’s really gross, but not at all surprising, that we, as a country, don’t have official reporting or tracking of this shit. I mean I know this country gives less than no fucks about women or minorities, but come the fuck on, even with that horseshit piecemeal reporting we -still have- absurdly high maternal mortality stats for a developed country???

Zirconium , to Politics in Why Some Wisconsin Lawmakers and Local Officials Have Changed Their Minds About Letting Undocumented Immigrants Drive

Couldn’t they just make it easier to become a documented immigrant instead of debating whether they should get driver licenses? I mean it’s probably a little bit harder to do but come on

justastranger ,

Letting illegal immigrants become legal immigrants would force companies to pay them more and respect their rights slightly so capitalists won’t allow it

papertowels ,

That’s the uncomfortable elephant in the room.

They’re benefiting from exploiting cheap labor from undocumented immigrants, and don’t want to stop doing so.

Can_you_change_your_username ,

No they can't. They are state and local officials and, despite what some governments in red states are saying, foreign relations and immigration are domains exclusive to the federal government.

Saved you a click: money.

Laneus , to U.S. News in New York Workers Are Waiting on $79 Million in Back Wages
@Laneus@beehaw.org avatar

But of course, if an employee pocketed $20 from the register, the police will get involved immediately. funny how that works

NounsAndWords , to Work Reform in 127,000 New York Workers Have Been Victims of Wage Theft

I would be absolutely shocked if only 127,000 New Yorkers were the victims of wage theft. It’s not only drastically underreported, but a lot of people seem to take pride in giving their employers free labor.

Where are the grifter cons now? Last time they were in the comments saying it’s baaad to work more hours if finish early…

Crickets when the rich boots do illegal shit.

Nommer , to Work Reform in 127,000 New York Workers Have Been Victims of Wage Theft

What about the rest of the country? I’m not in New York but I’ve had wages stolen from me. .

The NAHAC acronym stands for Nevada Affordable Housing Assistance Corporation.

Nationalize it! Now

Fiivemacs , to Politics in I Set Out to Create a Simple Map for How to Appeal Your Insurance Denial. Instead, I Found a Mind-Boggling Labyrinth.

Insurance isn’t in the business of paying…they collect, have broken websites and claim forms that I swear have a hard cap of like 5 submissions a day, infinite holds for repeat callers and customer service who’s job is to deny and annoy you to the point of just not bothering.
