| IsambardPrince | I’m an employment litigator in Indiana and I represent employees in cases like these. | Mar 01 04:25 |
| IsambardPrince | Yes, the DOL is not going to robustly pursue this. They’ll make a perfunctory try by reaching out, but they don’t pursue aggressively. | Mar 01 04:25 |
| IsambardPrince | This process is required before you sue them, if you were involuntarily separated from employment. | Mar 01 04:25 |
| IsambardPrince | One of the most insane things in Indiana law is that yes, it is totally legal for an employer to dismiss an employee for taking legal action to recover unpaid paychecks. There are some protections available from minimum wage / overtime laws, but not generally for “my boss just stole my paycheck or is taking unlawful deductions from it.” | Mar 01 04:25 |
| IsambardPrince | I constantly have to warn people who are seeking unpaid paychecks that Indiana law provides no protection, be prepared to get fired if you file lawsuits while still employed. | Mar 01 04:25 |
| IsambardPrince | Doesn’t really apply to your situation since it sounds like he doesn’t work there anymore. Just sucks. | Mar 01 04:25 |
| IsambardPrince | At the end of the DOL process they’ll give you a spreadsheet with the names and contact info of lawyers who work on these sorts of cases. | Mar 01 04:25 |
| IsambardPrince | ----- | Mar 01 04:25 |
| IsambardPrince | If your boss is stealing from you, why do you care? If they fire you because of their wrongdoing, then you will win your unemployment claim and they can't help themselves to your unemployment money. | Mar 01 04:26 |

| IsambardPrince | schestowitz-pi, I did something worthwhile today regarding the landlord. | Mar 01 04:37 |
| IsambardPrince | I testified to the City Council about the need to hurry up and redo the zoning and permits for more apartment units in this area of town. | Mar 01 04:37 |
| IsambardPrince | I testified about what I saw as "obvious collusion" about the neighborhood landlords. | Mar 01 04:38 |
| IsambardPrince | "You know, when I moved in my rent was a lot cheaper, and then the building was sold. Now he and the old landlord, who is still in the area, play this game where they always charge exactly what the other one does. And it only ever goes up. Usually by a hundred dollars or so per month, every year." | Mar 01 04:39 |
| schestowitz-pi | then what? | Mar 01 04:57 |

| IsambardPrince | I told my mother that without PEPFAR, 600,000 more people would die of AIDS in the world every year. She said "I don't care, people die all the time." | Mar 01 05:35 |
| IsambardPrince | I'd ask my Dad what he thought, but I know they'd be in complete agreement. He might add something about "the fucking faggots". | Mar 01 05:36 |
| IsambardPrince | This country is infested with Nazis, including many members of my own family. | Mar 01 05:37 |
| IsambardPrince | They think that anyone not White is "vermin" and "criminals" and "diseased". Yesterday, my mom blamed "immigrants" for the Measles in Texas, and it turned out to be a bunch of unvaccinated Amish people. | Mar 01 05:39 |
| IsambardPrince | Like most religious people, the Amish are utterly retarded. Who in the Hell would want to live in the 1600s, much less forever? LOL | Mar 01 05:40 |
| IsambardPrince | But they are devoted. | Mar 01 05:40 |
| IsambardPrince | Religious people who don't vaccinate their kids, causing them to die of vaccine-preventible illness, should be put in the electric chair, to make sure they don't have more. | Mar 01 05:42 |
| IsambardPrince | They should be strapped down to the "electric bleachers" next to the pedophiles. | Mar 01 05:43 |
| IsambardPrince | We need a serious right-sizing to put evolution back on the right track. | Mar 01 05:43 |
| IsambardPrince | Which would mean, you start out by getting rid of all the garbage that seriously detracts from society in some criminal way. Including manslaughter, which is what a child dying of a vaccine-preventible illness is. | Mar 01 05:44 |
| IsambardPrince | You take out the "parents" so they don't start again. | Mar 01 05:45 |
| IsambardPrince | The way I see it is this. | Mar 01 05:47 |
| IsambardPrince | If this country electrocuted Julius and Ethel Rosenberg for being Communists, we should be able to do the same to people who actually did something very wrong. | Mar 01 05:48 |
| IsambardPrince | ICE should be laser focused on Venezuelans and Indians, in my opinion. | Mar 01 05:49 |
| IsambardPrince | The Indians run all those gas stations that sell drugs. | Mar 01 05:49 |
| IsambardPrince | And the Venezuelans actually came here illegally and started promoting Donald Trump. | Mar 01 05:50 |
| IsambardPrince | I don't think anyone should be allowed to vote once they're over 65. They just don't have anything to lose so they let it all hang out and try to ruin everyone else's lives. They're not all like that, but so many are we should just away the vote from all of them. | Mar 01 05:53 |
| IsambardPrince | They don't have good intentions. They're obviously not wise. | Mar 01 05:54 |
| IsambardPrince | Whoever is a shitty young person and lives becomes a shitty old person. They just get worse because nobody can even punish them for saying their terrible garbage anymore. | Mar 01 05:54 |

| IsambardPrince | schestowitz-pi, IBM is severely exposed to the DOGE cuts. | Mar 01 07:38 |
| IsambardPrince | According to WSJ. | Mar 01 07:39 |
| IsambardPrince | "Booz Allen Hamilton (NYSE:BAH) -3.4% in early trading Friday after an article in The Wall Street Journal pointed to the company's vulnerability in the wake of a new Trump administration directive calling for a review of $65B in contracts that go to the company and other big firms that perform government work. | Mar 01 07:39 |
| IsambardPrince | The acting administrator of the General Services Administration reportedly issued a memo that calls on procurement officials at federal agencies to list and justify consulting contracts from 10 companies - including Booz Allen (NYSE:BAH), Accenture (ACN), IBM (IBM) and Deloitte - that the agencies intend to keep, with responses due March 7." | Mar 01 07:39 |

| schestowitz-pi | llms are just temporary hype, iow | Mar 01 08:11 |
| IsambardPrince | schestowitz-pi, So apparently mom is using a credit union that is not insured by the government. | Mar 01 08:13 |
| IsambardPrince | They're insured with "private insurance" which is owned by the credit unions themselves and advertises itself to credit unions who don't want "too much outside interference". | Mar 01 08:14 |
| IsambardPrince | What does this say? | Mar 01 08:14 |
| IsambardPrince | If the loans they make are good, why don't they want to show them to a regulator? | Mar 01 08:14 |
| IsambardPrince | The Federal Reserve, the Treasury, and the FDIC supervise banks. The Federal Reserve is fairly insulated from Trump and still has to follow the Dodd-Frank Act. | Mar 01 08:15 |
| IsambardPrince | But they don't regulate credit unions, and this one apparently is regulated....by the state of Ohio, LOL | Mar 01 08:16 |
| IsambardPrince | Trump wants to destabilize the banking system, but he can only do so to some extent. The Federal Reserve requires them to be audited and they call this a "stress test". | Mar 01 08:17 |
| IsambardPrince | Ever since Dodd-Frank, we've had less bank failures, and they have usually not been as big as they once were. | Mar 01 08:17 |
| IsambardPrince | Trump removed credit unions and small banks from the more rigorous standards under Dodd-Frank during his first term. The Republicans didn't completely repeal the law, but most of the really important parts only now apply to "systemically important banks". | Mar 01 08:19 |
| IsambardPrince | So Trump basically set up SVB and Signature Bank to fail. | Mar 01 08:19 |
| IsambardPrince | They weren't "systemically important", but they did a fair amount of damage. | Mar 01 08:19 |
| IsambardPrince | Trump may be able to sabotage the Fed next year when Jerome Powell's term is up. He hasn't given any indication that he's going to try to placate Trump, by giving Trump the rate decreases, which will cause hyperinflation. Who knows what the next one will try? | Mar 01 08:20 |

| IsambardPrince | I think access to credit will dry up eventually, probably some time this or next year. | Mar 01 08:25 |
| IsambardPrince | The Atlanta Fed is calling for a recession soon. They say they believe first quarter GDP will drop, and it takes two to be in a recession, so we'd know halfway into the year. | Mar 01 08:25 |
| IsambardPrince | Making a big ask on a bank loan is not a good sign. There's too many people who don't come up with a good down payment. So they'll cut these people off first. | Mar 01 08:25 |
| IsambardPrince | The federal government was considered such a reliable tenant that muni bonds heavily tied to the General Services Administration were seen as safe AAA credit risk, and now they're pulling the plug, and some of those bonds are dropping by 50%. | Mar 01 08:28 |

| IsambardPrince | schestowitz-pi, Mom is now banking at a barely-regulated credit union, which insures itself ("It's all there, trust us!"). Owning the insurance company that says your money is there. That's a neat trick. | Mar 01 08:36 |
| IsambardPrince | Of course she fell for this. | Mar 01 08:36 |
| IsambardPrince | My mother falls for almost every money scam there is, no matter how obvious. A while back she was paying $700 a month so my brother could be in "Christian Healthshare Ministries" which does not pay their claims, and is not insurance. | Mar 01 08:37 |
| IsambardPrince | I was able to enroll him in Medicaid, for free, which pays all his medical bills. | Mar 01 08:37 |
| IsambardPrince | Then she voted for Trump and hauled him down there too, and Trump wants to kill Medicaid. | Mar 01 08:38 |
| IsambardPrince | Dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb. | Mar 01 08:38 |

| IsambardPrince | I don't trust anything anyone tells me. Especially a person who wears nicer clothes than I do. | Mar 01 08:39 |
| IsambardPrince | If they say the sky is blue and fish swim in the ocean, check it yourself. | Mar 01 08:39 |
| IsambardPrince | In fact, it was a Ferengi rule of acquisittion on Star Trek. Don't believe anything someone says if they wear nicer clothing than you. | Mar 01 08:39 |
| IsambardPrince | Usually if they say there's a fantastic opportunity, it's a fantastic opportunity......for them to STEAL FROM YOU. | Mar 01 08:40 |
| IsambardPrince | And a lot of money scams target Christians. | Mar 01 08:41 |
| IsambardPrince | They never specifically go try to find agnostics or atheists. Those people went "Well, I looked at the world and I just don't think God exists because this looks pathetic." | Mar 01 08:41 |
| IsambardPrince | You know, once you start examining things that were spoon fed to you via brainwashing and child abuse they were so foundational, you can tear apart any set of lies. | Mar 01 08:42 |
| IsambardPrince | "Half the time I go outside I see someone run over a cat, or a dead body. Every time I turn on the news, I see what 'God allows to happen.'" | Mar 01 08:43 |
| IsambardPrince | "Hell, sometimes they try to kill or mug me. The only reason they probably wouldn't rape me is because I'm not a woman, but some might try to." Sick world. | Mar 01 08:43 |
| IsambardPrince | If you move to Indiana, they still have crime, maybe less of the violent stuff because less people live there, but then you deal with a government that is trying to kill you. | Mar 01 08:44 |
| IsambardPrince | There's not even a law in Indiana that says your employer can't steal your wages. The State even warns you that if you complain your employer stole your wages, your employer is free to fire you due to the complaint. | Mar 01 08:45 |
| IsambardPrince | It's one of "those" States. Everyone there looks like they're marrying they're cousins and on drugs, It did not look this bad 20-30 years ago. All the good left, all the crap stayed or moved there, and reproduced prolifically, on a steady diet of government cheese. | Mar 01 08:46 |

| IsambardPrince | schestowitz-pi, I have no idea what will happen to my brother. My mom likes to remind me she's going on 68, he's 31. Unless she lives to be 100 and still brings him pizza and unclogs his bathroom (literal) shitshow and cleans up the toilet water every day, he's hosed. | Mar 01 08:48 |
| IsambardPrince | And she opens up the door and gives him pizzas, video games, and guns. | Mar 01 08:49 |
| IsambardPrince | One of her church friends came over and picked up a rifle and pointed it at him the other day. Not because she was trying to shoot him, but because the people she goes to church with are.....slow? Is it still okay to call people slow? | Mar 01 08:50 |
| IsambardPrince | I don't suppose it occurred to anyone to tell "Ma Baker" over there to put the gun down if she's going to point it. | Mar 01 08:52 |

| IsambardPrince | "Booz Allen Hamilton (NYSE:BAH) -3.4% in early trading Friday after an article in The Wall Street Journal pointed to the company's vulnerability in the wake of a new Trump administration directive calling for a review of $65B in contracts that go to the company and other big firms that perform government work. | Mar 01 09:22 |
| IsambardPrince | The acting administrator of the General Services Administration reportedly issued a memo that calls on procurement officials at federal agencies to list and justify consulting contracts from 10 companies - including Booz Allen (NYSE:BAH), Accenture (ACN), IBM (IBM) and Deloitte - that the agencies intend to keep, with responses due March 7." | Mar 01 09:22 |
| IsambardPrince | schestowitz-pi, Mostly about Booz Allen Hamilton. | Mar 01 09:22 |
| IsambardPrince | But IBM is part of the $65 billion. | Mar 01 09:22 |
| IsambardPrince | Specifically mentioned. | Mar 01 09:22 |
| IsambardPrince | https://fedscoop.com/gsa-tells-agencies-to-terminate-contracts-with-top-10-consulting-firms/ | Mar 01 09:23 |
| IsambardPrince | "The top-10 highest-paid consulting firms contracting with the federal government are set to make “$65 billion in fees” in 2025 and beyond, the General Services Administration says. But according to the agency’s acting leader, that “needs to, and must, change.” | Mar 01 09:23 |
| IsambardPrince | GSA acting Administrator Stephen Ehikian issued this week a memo, obtained by FedScoop, calling for the termination of contracts with those top-contracted consultants: | Mar 01 09:23 |
| IsambardPrince | Deloitte Consulting LLP | Mar 01 09:23 |
| IsambardPrince | Accenture Federal Services LLC | Mar 01 09:23 |
| IsambardPrince | General Dynamics IT | Mar 01 09:23 |
| IsambardPrince | Booz Allen Hamilton | Mar 01 09:23 |
| IsambardPrince | Leidos | Mar 01 09:23 |
| IsambardPrince | Guidehouse | Mar 01 09:23 |
| IsambardPrince | Hill Mission Technologies Corp. | Mar 01 09:23 |
| IsambardPrince | Science Applications International Corp. | Mar 01 09:23 |
| IsambardPrince | CGI Federal | Mar 01 09:23 |
| IsambardPrince | IBM | Mar 01 09:23 |
| IsambardPrince | “Consistent with the goals and directives of the Trump administration to eliminate waste, reduce spending, and increase efficiency, the U.S. General Services Administration has taken the first steps in a Government-wide initiative to eliminate non-essential consulting contracts,” Ehikian wrote in the memo dated Feb. 26 sent to senior procurement officers. | Mar 01 09:23 |
| IsambardPrince | By March 7, agencies are asked to provide a list of contracts with the 10 firms that they intend to terminate as well as those they will maintain. For those that agencies will continue on with, Ehikian wants a signed statement from a senior official explaining why the work is mission critical and “provides substantive technical support.” | Mar 01 09:24 |
| IsambardPrince | The issuance of the memo follows GSA’s previous actions earlier this month with agencies to review contracts with the targeted contractors and terminate any that weren’t critical to agencies’ missions. But according to Ehikian, “not enough action has been taken.” | Mar 01 09:24 |
| IsambardPrince | News of the GSA’s memo was first reported by Nextgov." | Mar 01 09:24 |
| IsambardPrince | schestowitz-pi, https://fedscoop.com/ibm-wins-903m-gsa-contract-to-moderniz-federal-travel-and-expense-management/ | Mar 01 09:24 |
| IsambardPrince | Might include this. | Mar 01 09:24 |
| IsambardPrince | Last year IBM got a $903 million contract to modernize federal travel and expense management. | Mar 01 09:24 |
| IsambardPrince | They can terminate that one and cost IBM almost a billion dollars in one go. | Mar 01 09:25 |
| IsambardPrince | No telling what else can be terminated. | Mar 01 09:25 |
| IsambardPrince | schestowitz-pi, Trump recently set strict guidelines on government employee travel. | Mar 01 09:25 |
| IsambardPrince | They also froze millions of government credit cards while they figure out why agency employees are spending over $40 billion dollars a year on them. | Mar 01 09:26 |
| IsambardPrince | They also terminated 115,000-ish software licenses at GSA that aren't even being used. | Mar 01 09:26 |
| IsambardPrince | Costing $9.6 million per year, Microsoft was huge on that list. | Mar 01 09:26 |
| IsambardPrince | And that was just GSA. | Mar 01 09:26 |
| schestowitz-pi | now skype is dead | Mar 01 09:27 |
| IsambardPrince | schestowitz-pi, It's pretty clear that they are tearing up lots of IT contracts and software licenses. | Mar 01 09:27 |
| IsambardPrince | Big dollar in some cases. | Mar 01 09:27 |
| techrights-sec | excellent | Mar 01 09:27 |
| techrights-sec | (ctrl-c in wrong window earlier) | Mar 01 09:27 |
| IsambardPrince | schestowitz-pi, I think this part is good. | Mar 01 09:28 |
| IsambardPrince | It's an end to the unused software gravy train for Microsoft. | Mar 01 09:28 |
| IsambardPrince | That's going to hit them in the pocketbook if the govt cancels hundreds of millions of dollars a year in unused software. | Mar 01 09:28 |
| IsambardPrince | Based on GSA alone I think a govt-wide audit could turn up figures like this. | Mar 01 09:29 |
| IsambardPrince | They audit the Social Security Administration. IT there is apparently an even bigger wasteful mess than GSA. | Mar 01 09:29 |
| IsambardPrince | All kinds of crap going on. | Mar 01 09:29 |
| IsambardPrince | This is what happens when govt sprawls and nobody is watching their budget because Congress just gives more. | Mar 01 09:30 |
| IsambardPrince | Those days are clearly over. | Mar 01 09:30 |
| IsambardPrince | Trump can just not spend it, and ask Congress to take it back. | Mar 01 09:30 |
| IsambardPrince | I think it's clear that we need to reduce federal borrowing. | Mar 01 09:30 |
| IsambardPrince | Sometimes treasury auctions are basically failures now. | Mar 01 09:31 |
| IsambardPrince | Not enough buyers so the central bank bails them out. | Mar 01 09:31 |
| IsambardPrince | This is unacceptable. | Mar 01 09:31 |
| IsambardPrince | When you have failed debt auctions, why do we spend money on vacant office buildings and unused software all over the govt?? | Mar 01 09:32 |

| techrights-sec | I'm not sure. BigBlueButton and Jitsi-Meet have not gotten *any* press | Mar 01 12:58 |

| schestowitz-pi | itl l have to fork over a lot more cash to use its ubiquitous office applications. The monthly price for business plans is jumping 16 percent, from $14.40 to $16.80. If | Mar 01 13:21 |
| schestowitz-pi | all three billion Google Workspace users paid that standard increase, that would equal an additional $7.2 billion in monthly revenue for the company. At the same time, | Mar 01 13:21 |
| schestowitz-pi | Googles cloud division, which houses Workspace, slashed its workforce this week, though the exact number of staff layoffs is unknown. </p> | Mar 01 13:21 |

| schestowitz-pi | In a similar vein, Skype is proving that it lacks a business plan and probably never had any. We recommend that people explore software such as | Mar 01 13:21 |
| schestowitz-pi | <a href="https://www.mumble.info/">Mumble</a> instead, whereupon not only the "cost" aspect goes away; control and privacy become feasible too | Mar 01 13:21 |
