  • "Experts say this practice is likely illegal"

    Um, it is definitely illegal. Employers are required to obtain proof of eligibility from new hires. You cannot work on a tourist visa so if you employ such workers you are in violation of the law.

    But of course these Trumpists will never be punished, it's much easier to destroy the workers lives. If the Republicans were serious about tackling illegal immigration they would enforce the law on employers by levying heavy punitive fines for violations. It would be a lot cheaper than mass deportation.

    But then we would have to reform immigration to allow for legal entry to meet labor needs and businesses want cheap labor here illegally so they can be abused.

  • They should do it. A lot of reps are sharpening their knives advocating for this irritant to step into their turf.

    The Speaker makes a lot of enemies. A speaker with slim majority with a caucus full of petulant narcissists, zealots and corrupt grifters is going to have a bad time. Nobody should want that job. Imagine being handed an unwinnable situation and then personally taking all the blame when it doesn't go the way your infantile emperor desires. This is a plot to ice Musk out of the halls of power.

  • The public reaction is what scares them. They are entirely disconnected from the consequences their actions impose on the public and can't imagine why their "customers" would be cheering the death of their peer. They don't think Brian Thompson did anything wrong, maximizing shareholder value is a noble goal after all, so from their perspective the public just seems bloodthirsty.

  • Before the ACA, the Democrats were calling for single payer, not quite M4A but much better than what we got. The ACA was modeled on the Republicans healthcare reform package. Since then the Democrats have been defending the signature plan of Obama even though it is literally the plan their opposition created. Of course, Republicans don't have a plan and many people voting today don't remember what it was like in the 00's where insurers would just dump people when they got sick or jack their rates up so high it wouldn't be affordable.

    The weird thing is that when I first joined the workforce in the 90s insurance was actually better than it is today and less expensive.

  • Without question. This guy is not important and nobody will protect him. Most people don't realize that banks hand out that particular title like candy. When I worked at JPMC, I was an associate (nobody important) and my manager was a vice president. There were 7 levels of management between me and the CIO.

  • This play is so obvious. The judge wants to be sued or reprimanded or removed to get the matter to the SCOTUS just so they can rule that gay people can't get married if any official involved in the process objects on religious grounds.
