They get paid 274k…DC is expensive, but anyone that can’t live very comfortably on that is awful with money. Being awful with money will lose you a TS clearance because it makes you susceptible to bribery by spies. I would think it would also be a disqualifier for a SCOTUS judge for the same reason.
I think maintaining a TS clearance should be a requirement for all positions above a certain level in the federal government. Not because they need access to TS information, but to ensure they are at a lower risk of bribery, adversarial interests, and criminal activity. Getting a TS clearance isn’t terribly hard. Just generally have your act together. As long as you aren’t a train wreck, a drug addict, a criminal, an untrustworthy asshat, or have connections to adversaries, you will pass adjudication. TLDR: A TS clearance would ensure high level government employees are minimumly functional humans.
Wow is that an old version of NGINX. Bad sys admin! If you are going to change your server string, have some fun. Set it to “server 1.0. Today’s special is caramel horse apple”
The poor thing is probably mining bit coins and deploying ransomware!
Juries have a LOT of discretion regarding damages in civil cases. The damages are what the 12 jurors say it is.
TCNs, or third country nationals. People from neither the US or locals.
From my understanding the reason why is the almighty dollar. They don’t get paid nearly as much as our troops and contractors, but still a lot more than they would make at home. There is quite a bit of info about it if you do a quick search.
Also a cinnabon. And a coffee shop called green bean. And a pizza shop. And much more. Sometimes DFACs 1 and 4 gets old.
This is serious. If the USAF sets up shop anywhere we plan on having a presence for a while, there will be some amenities. Even if the base is bombed on a regular basis.
This all comes back to school board elections. How much information is typically available about school board candidates?
What’s also mind boggling is the USAF F-15 has zero combat losses and is the OLD air superiority fighter. The USAF can start operating anywhere in the world with a force larger than most other air forces in < 72 hours.
The US Navy has more heavy aircraft carrier groups than the rest of world combined. The US has 11 out of 22. It also has the world’s largest and most advanced air force. Old US Army equipment is working wonders for Ukraine against Russia, the supposed next best military.
Not to mention the US has a massive arsenal of working ICBMs and SLBMs.
I’m sorry, but nobody stands a snowballs chance in hell against the US military.
Regarding Iraq and Afghanistan, nation building and occupying are two different things. Kind of like ruling verses obtaining power are different.
ETA: Think about that during presidential elections.
Why does Israel need military aid? They are by far the superior force. Their response to it is worse than the US response to the 2001 attacks.
I'm not against parking a carrier group off the coast to prevent some other country from taking advantage of the situation, but I don't see why Israel needs US help.
The entire situation is a dumpster fire. Hamas resorting to random acts of violence instead of a targeted attack dooms their cause. Giving in to terrorism sends the message that it is an effective strategy, encouraging more of it. Israel's reaction is almost as bad. Everyone is being punished for the actions of a few. The antisemitism from people like this hurts the Palestinian cause too.
When pulled over, any interaction beyond what is required by law should be not answered or answered with something along the lines of invoking the 5th. There are a bazillion YouTube lawyers that all the say this.
If you need directions, put in something that isn't the abortion place, but has it along the way, like a national park or other tourist place, some conference, etc. Then put in the real destination when you get across the border.
Cass, you idjit! You have been on earth from how long and still don't know how humans work! They are just going to think the OP is delusional!
To get the hell outta dodge. It is the best way for a young American with few ties to get a fresh start in life.
You start getting paid the second you leave, you get health, dental, housing, food, gym membership, discounts, job training, and education paid for. If you lock into your contract a specific job, it takes longer to ship out, but you won't get stuck doing IT if you want to work on tanks or planes or whatever.
I'm not delusional, there is a very real chance you will see combat of some sort. Even POGs (basically non combat jobs) that are deployed to bases in active conflicts will get the joy of being on the bad end IDFs (indirect fire attack, basically mortars, rockets, artillery, etc).
Source: Been there down that.
they will simultaneously say that they are all moderates or conservatives.
That is the infuriating part. The people the are voting for are anything but that when you think about what they say the value and what those they vote for do. Case in point, I just got a mailer from a local politician with some anti trans nonsense about some trans woman athlete that did well and it wasn't fair because she used to male. Wouldn't the small government approach be to leave it up to the sports organization?
Same with schools. Why are all these alleged conservatives that claim small government out of their business trying to micromanage school libraries?
Why do these government out of my business types want the only way to get around be a car you have to have government permission to operate that you must register with the government that must meet government safety and emissions regulations, that you can only effectively use on government roads that are monitored constantly by government police and you have to have government mandated insurance that meets government requirements.
Some of those that work forces are the same that burn crosses.
I hope they make high schoolers learn about this song in a hundred years.
"Now students, in the late 20th century, musicians often blended styles. Rage Against the Machine has elements of metal and rap. This song is about the abuse of power and and bigotry by government enforcers, particularly police brutality towards non whites in the United States. This songs melody, lyrics, and singing style brilliantly expressed the rage many people felt about the state of the US legal system at the time, as evidenced by the civil rights movement, LA riots, and Black Lives Matter movement. Ironically, there are videos of people the song is critical of praising it or listening to it."
I don't think people are all that left. I think conservative has been misused so much it is almost a drop in for fascist or laissez fair capitalist.
E.g. abortion. The conservative mindset is to keep regulations to a minimal and defer to the medical community. Overruling Roe was pretty radical and goes against the recommendations of the medical community. It is also government getting into people's business.
E.g. climate. Wouldn't it be more conservative to err on the side of caution and do things that are a good idea anyway and reduce GHG, like renewables and reducing car dependent design? Replacing street cars, trams, and rails with cars everywhere was a pretty radical move.
I can keep going with examples, but I think that is clear enough.
I just had another thought. I wonder if it will eliminate a lot of escalation and fleeing due to people being afraid of going to jail?
I'm not all in on prison abolitionism, but I think this is a good step in legal system reform. Most people in jail probably aren't much of a threat to society.
The US intelligence apparatus doesn’t do this. The OPM does.
As per your second paragraph and many other comments. I agree. It is hard to avoid it being politicized at any step of the process. Everything interview would have to be recorded. Copies of all reviewed records would need to be kept. Adjudicators would need heavily redacted transcripts of the records and interviews.
