MoonshineDegreaser@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Justice Alito says Congress lacks the power to impose an ethics code on the Supreme Court19·2 years agoHe’s an asshole, but he’s right. SCOTUS is supposed to be the last stop for constitutional rights. They can even block presidential directives if they are what they (Scotus) perceive as unconstitutional. However we’ve recently learned that there’s a couple of members with sugar daddies and saying something like this isn’t only piss poor timing, it’s basically saying that Alito believes himself to be untouchable and infallible with authority over congress. Now keep in mind that we as American citizens make the ultimate vote (by the majority) to fill congressional seats to cater to the majority’s needs, Alito is saying that SCOTUS is untouchable and infallible to the people

MoonshineDegreaser@lemmy.worldOPto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•The US government seized b-ok.ccEnglish0·2 years agoI’ve had a few people say the same thing, so you’re probably recalling it correctly
MoonshineDegreaser@lemmy.worldOPto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•The US government seized b-ok.ccEnglish1016·2 years agoMy point is that private citizens are having to pay for what obviously would be a breach in their infrastructure. THEY picked the wrong person for the job and the wrong person did the wrong thing, and now the private citizens have to pay for it. I’m not a lawyer, a social scientist, or a high ranking knowledgeable gov’t official, but even I can see something fishy has happened and now the every man has to pay for it. IMO that’s a pretty typical response when there’s a leak. People who are minding their own business and just trying to live life have to pay for the gov’t’s negligence. We can blame the individual, but the people who have access to that material are required to go through rigorous screening. Why do private citizens have to pay for the governments failure?
MoonshineDegreaser@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Texas worker accused of being on drugs was actually dying of heatstroke2·2 years ago3 times in my life I can tell you that I had heat exhaustion. One time I thought I was going to have to go to the hospital. It is the absolute worse feeling I’ve ever experienced
MoonshineDegreaser@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Texas worker accused of being on drugs was actually dying of heatstroke1·2 years agoAND when they do get caught in something of that nature, they don’t really shut down. They change the company name under a new license and then magically get all the contracts that the previous company had
MoonshineDegreaser@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Texas worker accused of being on drugs was actually dying of heatstroke31·2 years agoYou’re absolutely right. However there were rules and amenities put in place way before we were born
I’ll give you an example. When I worked as a utility locator, I caught a GC’s team doing HARD drugs on a construction site. I reported it to the county. Nothing happened. Same team, same habits. I would speak to the GC directly about their teams, and they didn’t care.
A week passes and the entire site is roped off with police tape. A heavy machinery operator from that team ended up running a cleaner over in one of those JLG cherry pickers with the monster truck tires. Turns out he had meth and thc in his system. He was fired. No charges towards the individual or the GC because it was chalked up to a workplace accident.
Now why were they able to get away with that you ask? GC’s have to maintain state and county contracts and they even do work for the counties and states. They literally have all the power when it comes to construction. The only real way to get a GC shut down is if there are multiple accidents resulting in an unusual number of injuries or death. But even then, that’s usually when the feds and OSHA get involved
MoonshineDegreaser@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Texas worker accused of being on drugs was actually dying of heatstroke9·2 years agoGood way to m lose your business license if you aren’t a general contractor. But since they are, supervisor is getting fired and nothing else is going to change.

He was meant to fly home due to disciplinary action in a few days before crossing the DMZ into NK
But looking at history of NK and how they treat Americans who enter the country, I hope he said his goodbyes
