[01:22] DaemonFC His evidence centred mainly on his personal experiences of what the dire situation was in which the animals were found on Modises farm.

He also detected evidence of the animals feeding on the carcasses.

[02:04] DaemonFC Looks okay.
[02:04] DaemonFC schestowitz[TR]: FMLA in the US needs to be tweaked.
[02:04] DaemonFC I noticed Biden hasn't taken any action on this.
[02:04] schestowitz[TR] is there a walmart analogy?
[02:04] schestowitz[TR] i don't know walmart
[02:04] schestowitz[TR] but..
[02:04] schestowitz[TR] you tell me
[02:04] schestowitz[TR] gonna add:
[02:04] schestowitz[TR] Imagine that. You do the same work as before and each year, as promotion and rewards have been severely curtailed, your real salaries are in effect going down, not up, in spite of growing body of knowledge and experience.

[02:04] DaemonFC FMLA is a federal law and it applies to most people who work at Walmart.

[02:05] TR Bot The lazybones, the jerk and the badgerer: 6 types of managerial FMLA, ADA offenders | HR Dive
[02:06] DaemonFC > We dont hire managers to be FMLA experts, Morris said. We hire them because they are good people managers. They are good subject matter experts.
[02:06] DaemonFC > But sometimes, managers blindness or inaction to the Family and Medical Leave Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act can lead to charges and large payouts, Morris explained.
[02:06] DaemonFC ---
[02:06] DaemonFC schestowitz[TR]: Walmart farmed this all out to another company called Sedgwick that specializes in complying with FMLA and other laws and employer disability insurance policies.
[02:07] DaemonFC That way if Sedgwick fucks up your FMLA, they get to cover the damages if you lose your job.
[02:07] DaemonFC A little bird told me a long time ago that Walmart wrote into the contract that if Sedgwick mishandles your case, they compensate Walmart for having to rehire you and pay you back pay plus pain and suffering and anything else.
[02:08] schestowitz[TR] added that bit
[02:08] schestowitz[TR] now meme time
[02:08] schestowitz[TR] the epo insiders love meme
[02:08] DaemonFC So Walmart has a "compliance expert" to handle this so that a manager at Walmart can't get them in trouble by misinterpreting the law or something, or doing something that was a reprisal.
[02:09] DaemonFC The managers have no control over FMLA and therefore don't have to be trained on it.
[02:09] DaemonFC Which also can lower management salaries.
[02:09] DaemonFC schestowitz[TR]: If it gets approved, your points for those days disappear out of the system and the managers can't add them to your employee file.
[02:09] DaemonFC It's completely out of their hands.
[02:10] DaemonFC schestowitz[TR]: Walmart despises the FMLA but if they don't follow the law there can be treble damages.
[02:11] DaemonFC So they have good reason to want to follow it to the letter.
[02:11] DaemonFC They take all sorts of horrible action against employees that even make it into the news sometimes.
[02:11] DaemonFC Like firing cancer patients for smoking medical marijuana with a state medical card.
[02:12] DaemonFC The situation on that is real real murky because the federal government doesn't consider it a pain reliever like State law might. They consider it a schedule I narcotic, worse than meth, crack, and fentanyl.
[02:14] DaemonFC schestowitz[TR]: The FMLA technically protects your job for 26 weeks out of the year. So you can use that all at once or intermittently if you have more than one valid FMLA claim.
[02:14] DaemonFC Like, if you were sick with the flu and had to take a week off that year, but then the same calender year you broke your leg or had a child or your spouse was in the hospital and you needed time off, you'd have 25 weeks left that year.
[02:15] DaemonFC It's more useful to people in white collar jobs who tend to have savings that could get them by longer.
[02:15] DaemonFC But it is important that even if it's just the flu you don't take attendance points and lose your job.
[02:15] DaemonFC I don't know what employment law in Europe is like. Probably better than this.
[02:17] DaemonFC schestowitz[TR]: I had Mandy enrolled in Enhanced Short Term Disability. Instead of covering 50% of his check while he's out it would cover 75%. The additional premium is paid by the employee but it's pretty cheap.
[02:17] DaemonFC It doesn't kick in until after you've been out a full week though.
[02:17] DaemonFC But it'll help you hobble by if you're stuck in the house with a broken leg or something.
[02:18] DaemonFC schestowitz[TR]: Indiana is a lot more generous with Unemployment Insurance.
[02:19] DaemonFC Back when they tried cutting me from 40 to 24 hours I went to the Department of Workforce Development and filed unemployment.
[02:19] schestowitz[TR] indiana
[02:19] schestowitz[TR] iirc, a red state
[02:20] DaemonFC It took the managers by surprise when they were informed by the State that they would be paying out 64% of the missing wages anyway. So I would have worked 24 hours and then gotten 4 days off each week, but paid for 64% of those 16 hours.
[02:20] schestowitz[TR] now the issues like free speech are cast as "colours"
[02:20] DaemonFC They quickly put me back on the schedule and added a second job code and told me to work dry grocery those nights.
[02:20] schestowitz[TR] this means,
[02:20] schestowitz[TR] in blue states
[02:20] schestowitz[TR] free speech is "nazis"

[03:01] TR Bot Court hears of how animals suffered on Speaker Thandi Modises farm
[03:01] DaemonFC > His evidence centred mainly on his personal experiences of what the dire situation was in which the animals were found on Modises farm. Testimony indicated that animals had suffered from muscle loss and anaemia, resulting from lack of food. Some of the carcasses were in an advanced stage of decay. He also detected evidence of the animals feeding on the carcasses.
[03:01] DaemonFC > Leask said the second witness to take the stand was Tebogo Mokaedi, who had worked on the farm.
[03:01] DaemonFC > He was the last person who was employed on the farm and worked there for about two months on a promise of being paid R30 a day. He never got paid, only had minimal animal feed and received only one delivery from a half-packed truck, which did not last long enough or was sufficient to feed the animals.
[03:01] DaemonFC > Animals were already dying upon his initial arrival and he was told to dump carcasses in a hole on the farm. He witnessed animals eating each other and trying to digest the concrete flooring as food. Having no food for the animals or himself, he left the farm and returned home, said Leask.
[03:02] DaemonFC > A statement by the NSPCA explained that Modises farm was littered with the carcasses of over 50 pigs and other dead animals such as geese, ducks, sheep and goats. The NSPCA had been forced to euthanise more than 224 animals at the farm when it visited there in July 2014.
[03:02] DaemonFC > Head of AfriForums private prosecution unit, advocate Gerrie Nel, has been pursuing the private prosecution case on behalf of the NSPCA.
[03:02] DaemonFC > Modise, who faces six counts of contravening the Animal Protection Act, has pleaded not guilty to the charges.
[03:03] DaemonFC MinceR: Typhoid and swans. They all come from the same place.
[03:03] MinceR Earth?
[03:03] DaemonFC The charge sheet reads that Modise ill-treated and neglected the animals on her farm by failing to procure and/or provide adequate feed for the animals on her farm to wit more than 147 pigs, more than 59 sheep, more than 11 lambs, more than 54 goats and more than 25 chickens and geese, causing the emaciation and even death of the animals; unnecessarily starved and/or under-fed and/or denied water or food to the animals on her farm; confine and
[03:03] DaemonFC restrain the animals on her farm without making adequate provision for suitable food, potable water and rest for such animal in circumstances where it is necessary and being the owner of any animal, deliberately or without reasonable cause or excuse, abandons it, whether permanently or not, in circumstances likely to cause that animal unnecessary suffering.
[03:04] DaemonFC ---
[03:04] DaemonFC MinceR: Steal the farm from the white man. Force the white man into suicide. Take over the farm....
[03:04] DaemonFC Throw the dead animals down the hole.

[03:07] DaemonFC https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thandi_Modise#Animal_cruelty_charges
[03:07] TR Bot Thandi Modise - Wikipedia
[03:08] DaemonFC > Animal cruelty charges
[03:08] DaemonFC > In July 2014, the NSPCA discovered a number of dead animals, including chickens, pigs, goats and geese, on a farm owned by Modise in Modderfontein outside Potchefstroom. The animals had starved to death and some of the surviving pigs were eating the carcasses of other animals.[53][54] Modise said that the animals had been abandoned by a caretaker she had hired to monitor the farm while she was attending to her NCOP responsibilities in Cape Town, and
[03:08] DaemonFC she said she was "saddened" by the incident.[54] She also said, "I am not a farmer. I am trying to farm. I am learning. But if you are a woman and you are learning you are not allowed to make mistakes".[55] The Freedom Front Plus said that Modise was a poor example for emerging black farmers.[53]
[03:08] DaemonFC > On behalf of the NSPCA, AfriForum instituted private prosecution against Modise on animal cruelty charges. However, in April 2021, a Potchefstroom court found Modise not guilty, ruling that Modise had not been negligent and that the hired caretaker should be held responsible for the incident.[56]
[03:08] DaemonFC ---
[03:08] DaemonFC The caretaker she didn't pay for over two months until he walked away?
[03:08] DaemonFC The caretaker who she told to throw the dead animals "down a hole"?

[03:09] DaemonFC This sounds like Brandon Lobster "in defense of Holly Million".

[03:10] DaemonFC Meanwhile, the "woman" Brandon Lobster is "defending" a "woman" that eats garden slugs and performs "energy cleansings" being in charge of GNOME.
[03:11] DaemonFC Holly Million's home page implies cruelty to animals in furtherance of some sort of occult witchcraft religion.
[03:11] DaemonFC Or it did, before she deleted it.
[03:11] DaemonFC The animal skull.
[03:12] DaemonFC MinceR: "I'm learning. Can't make an omelet without a farm littered with 500-600 dead animals." Right?
[03:13] DaemonFC "It's the caretaker's fault for walking off after not being paid and being given nothing to feed them."
[03:13] DaemonFC "Stop the genocide in Gaza!"
[03:14] DaemonFC MinceR: Now, let's assume she did send food for the animals and they weren't already dying, and she did pay the caretaker.

[04:43] DaemonFC LOL
[04:43] DaemonFC MinceR: So the lowest paid MP earns 500% the average salary of their constituents.
[04:43] DaemonFC NOICE
[04:43] DaemonFC Sounds like STATE OF ILL on steroids.
[04:43] MinceR it's probably similar in orbanistan

[04:46] DaemonFC schestowitz[TR]: RMS was concerned that most school "remote learning" software spies on kids and sends things to ad servers.
[04:46] DaemonFC I've also heard of teachers seeing guns or something in the background in a video call and sending the cops to the kid's house.
[04:46] DaemonFC So just turning the camera on and forgetting you have a gun on the dresser can get you caught even though the police would never have come into the house and seen it.
[04:48] DaemonFC When you have hundreds of thousands of kids in a State on video calls with the teacher, that's not good.
[04:48] DaemonFC It lets State employees look into people's houses and decide they don't like what they see and send the police on a "welfare check".

[06:30] DaemonFC It's artificial. It's designed to make it so cheap to borrow money they pay the people to do it.
[06:30] DaemonFC Because the loans cost less than the inflation rate.

[08:15] DaemonFC He's worked with a lot of people that have been fired twice and come back since he started.
[08:15] DaemonFC Yeah, the vacation time alone is one reason they don't want you hanging around. Especially in a State that says you get to use it when you want for whatever you want.
[08:16] DaemonFC schestowitz[TR]: They used to make you put in for it before the schedule for that week came out.
[08:16] DaemonFC Now as long as you give them a reasonable notice they have to take you off the schedule and replace it with a vacation day.
[08:20] DaemonFC It really sucks at 0-2 years.
[08:20] DaemonFC You have to work 41.05 hours to get one PTO hour.
[08:21] DaemonFC At 3 years you get 1 PTO hour per 31.20.
[08:21] DaemonFC At 4-6 you get 1 PTO hour per 19.5 hours worked.

[08:23] DaemonFC So that's about 6.5 vacation days a year on year 4, but only about 4 days a year right now.
[08:24] DaemonFC The reason why we took some longer vacations than that is some of the days I told him to just ask to be removed from the schedule.

The maintenance and repairs of a rental home, on the other hand, are largely left up to the landlord. While the service quality may vary, it rarely comes at an additional cost to the renter.

[21:32] DaemonFC Keith lives on an oxygen tank now from all those years inhaling fumes in his shop, with his elderly parents.
[21:32] DaemonFC When they die, the IRS will take their house to satisfy Keith's back taxes and he still won't get Social Security.
[21:33] DaemonFC schestowitz[TR]: Karma.
[21:33] DaemonFC If he didn't run out on his girls and paid his taxes, he'd have had a much better life.

[21:38] DaemonFC And file a return for that tax year and pay his taxes on the house out of the money from the house so that they can't pursue criminal charges (because his older taxes are too old for criminal charges).

[22:00] TR Bot jwz: "Driverless" cars always have a driver
[22:00] DaemonFC > Tonight I was chatting with an old acquaintance who now works for one of these murderbot companies (the conversation was... fraught) and they told me that it was commonly known amongst their staff that SFPD is well aware that every vehicle has a responsible party, but they pretend not to know, because it sounds complicated and annoying to deal with.
[22:00] DaemonFC > Now, I'm also not crazy about this model where the corporation shields themselves with these call-center "liability crumple zones". The model is to use a contractor as ablative shielding. If anything goes wrong due to the design of their wildly unsafe and speculative murderbots, the company will just chum another minimum-wage employee into the jaws of the legal system and slot a new one in place, as happened in Arizona. It is not a great model!
[22:01] DaemonFC > Even if it were true that the current laws do not have a mechanism for anyone to be held accountable when a driverless car breaks the law, endangers, injures or kills someone -- which, again, is not true -- the proper response to that would be to say, "Well, I guess we'll have to adjust those laws BEFORE we allow these vehicles on the roads."

[22:29] DaemonFC That's 1.825 million per year.
[22:29] DaemonFC And that's the ones Border Patrol encounters.
[22:29] DaemonFC So the bill doesn't actually do anything.
[22:29] DaemonFC Even at the worst of it, we were having less than 5,000 encounters per day.

[23:18] TR Bot Gaming the system - Wikipedia
[23:18] DaemonFC NHS dentistry in the UK sees the frequent use of gaming the system in the form of adapting treatment to the payment system, which is frequently referred to as simply "gaming". The practice of adapting treatment to payment systems, rather than clinical need, is thought to be widespread in NHS dentistry and is considered by some to be a result of a poorly planned target based system.[12] The term is also used to describe obfuscation of the scope of NHS
[23:18] DaemonFC dentistry in order to "upsell" items of treatment that should be available.

[23:18] DaemonFC My Ex, "the sponge" was at the dental clinic with me where they found one cavity. Mom found him a Medicaid dentist to go see for the filling, and they took him the X-Rays.
[23:19] DaemonFC This old German dentist walked in, according to "the sponge", and said "It is a lovely day we are having, of course every day is lovely when you're my age."
[23:19] DaemonFC And then drilled and filled four teeth.
[23:20] DaemonFC "The sponge" recently pleaded guilty to felony charges for shooting a senior citizen while firing a shotgun in a field.
