An employee was angry about an unfair policy and was being punished for not complying, and in his anger he threw a chair. This was before my time, but security had to escort the employee out of the building and he was fired on the spot. That story still circulates even though it's been over a decade.
At another workplace some employees were caught having sex.
At another workplace a manager and employees were running a drug operation out of a drive-thru.
There were other things, but honestly humans are so predictable, they're usually:
fucking one another
threatening, fighting, or trying to kill one another
trying to get high or stay high
stealing, cheating, or otherwise trying to enrich themselves
So a lot of the stories are of one form or another - employee who always came in extremely drunk and worked her shift drunk for years, only fired after some violent incidents and indecent exposure because of excessive drunkenness.
One employee was homeless and sleeping on the roof of the store, he was caught climbing down one morning.
Another guy was peddling drugs outside the store.
Another employee was stealing stock from the store after hours and was fired after getting caught.
Probably because the assessed value is what you are taxed on, so it is usually lower and more conservative of an estimate because people with houses don't like taxes (and maybe have more political will than renters). You can google this stuff, what did you find? I found this article: https://www.forbes.com/advisor/mortgages/assessed-value-vs-market-value/
yes, and in some sense it doesn't really matter if even the founding of America conflicts with their America - they believe their America is more American. This is the reactionary mindset, that the past is best while not even having the education to know what the past was. Instead the ideals are set as an agenda by whatever the reactionary institutions say the past is, and in political movements those ideals and details often change as needed for political gains. Unfortunately this is not just exclusive to reactionaries (the Russian revolution brought about Stalin after all and the French revolution led to Napoleon), but I do tend to think reactionary minds are more quick to accept reality based on authority rather than reason or evidence, and that makes them more politically convenient as followers.
All the more reason to view the reactionaries as not really invested in any particular past or tradition, but instead as being influenced by certain groups and people - those most visible and influential often being more like grifters than theologians or stewards of tradition.
One way to do so is to take a photo with some unique words established here, along with maybe a newspaper and / or something in the background that proves your location is indeed NK (though you should be careful to not expose your identity doing this, I think it's just important the photo is authentic and establishes you are who you say you are).
I don't think they care about their hypocrisy, tbh - I think they view themselves as more American while dismantling America. This is just how reactionary coups work, they appeal to nationalism, but insist on reverting to an older status quo as a more authentic version of that nationalism. (It's a re-invisioning of America in a sense.)
oh no worries, I didn't mean to come across as critical - I just was reading the Time article and then realized it was mostly regurgitation of the CIVICUS watchlist itself.
at what point is this not just a reactionary coup - the president's complete disregard of the Supreme Court's ruling and the Constitution means the United States of America is over, no? I mean, whatever this government is, it's no longer operating by the fundamental rules and laws that established this country, that define this government - this is a new, autocratic government operating by different rules.

Anyway - poverty is fun, y'all!
