    wow, I was expecting more updates here. I agree, time for a new thread. For those who are US citizens, the federal government is hiring (https://www.usajobs.gov/). As an example, Social Security administration has a number of claims specialist, customer service rep positions, etc. open all...

    Anyone see this story going around last night and today...250k raised for a "homeless" man so far..

    Trump literally has compliments manufactured for him.

    not much of a surprise considering what happened during the campaign, when staffers would give praise or friendly coverage for Trump to view (in print). http://www.politico.com/story/2017/02/trump-twitter-staffer-235263

    Ivanka Trump represents US at G20 meeting

    I'm reminded of a huge contrast....when President Reagan was shot and Vice-President Bush temporarily assumed command while Reagan was in surgery, Bush for protocol and symbolic reasons not to land on the south lawn of the White House http://res.dallasnews.com/interactives/reagan-bush/ Ivanka...

    Cyberczar Guiliani web site broke as a joke

    The reason why Guiliani's website insecurity matters is the same reason why people will look at a "fitness trainer" with a potbelly and question how much knowledge/experience the person has.

    Trump says won't divest from his business while president

    Corruption is a concern, yes. But even more basic than that is "conflict of interest". A reasonable person will certainly ask whether or not money/profit to Trump's company influenced a decision made. I should point out also that there was a Supreme Court decision in 2016 talking about a...

    Trump Orders Head of DC National Guard to Resign at 12:01 PM Inauguration Day

    Yes, because telling a person appointed by George Bush and kept on by Obama that he has to leave the very second the day after Inauguration instead of waiting until the inauguration celebration is over is petty politics. Relinquishing command in the middle of the celebration/event is not ideal...

    Hundreds of Disability Cases suspended

    Sad, but that is why people should do their research on who they trust to prepare work for them, whether it's tax prep, social security benefits, or something else. The statistic I've heard is 40% of people are approved for Social Security disability the first time, so not everyone gets it.

    So lets predict where we are in four years

    1) the deficit will explode - Medical costs continue to rise. Repealing the Affordable Care Act (aka "Obamacare") without a viable replacement simply means less coverage and therefore more sick uninsured (unless you're wealthy enough to afford insurance) - entitlements will continue to...

    Fantastic Julian Assange interview

    I stopped taking it seriously at the beginning when Assange rants about the FBI becoming the "political police" and then mentions Petraeus giving classified information to his mistress. I'm sorry, but there's nothing political, only criminal as far as sharing classified information to someone...

    SCOTUS rules: gay marriage approved

    http://www.slate.com/blogs/outward/2015/08/31/kim_davis_and_the_liberty_counsel_anti_gay_group_is_bad_news.html Slate has an article speculating on this. Part of the suspicion is that the legal brief is short on legal arguments and lengthy in political and moral/religious comments.

    Marie Harf: "Stop ISIS...Get Them Jobs"!

    Is it easy getting disability pay?

    technically Medicare is not automatic with SSDI payments since you have to receive benefits for 2 years, but I'd imagine most people will get payments for at least that amount of time.

    Is it easy getting disability pay?

    In my 4 years of experience...with Social Security / SSI disability claims, my answer is, "it depends". I've interviewed people who I would have thought (from interviewing) would be approved who didn't, and vice versa. And I'm not talking about compassionate allowance conditions like terminal...

    On living in Los Angeles

    I know someone who's moving to LA, most likely in July. She'll be a transfer student to UCLA and as I understand it, she'll be eligible for in-state tuition if she stays in Cali for a full year, mom is also a Cali resident, and proves she has ties to Cali and cuts off ties to prior residence (ie...

    Software Developer advice for friend

    it sounded like she's doing tech support and troubleshooting in her current role, and previously was QA lead. I'm guessing she wants to work on the actual software/coding aspect instead of tech support-related tasks.

    Gov. Chris Christie in hot water over Bridge Scandal

    It was petty and I find it hard to believe it was anything but a vindictive act. I also find it hard to believe that Chris Christie was oblivious/kept completely in the dark by his aides...or that the aides operated without expecting Christie's approval or silent blessing. I doubt Christie...
