I can draw a usefully realistic map of every city I’ve spent significant time in. I can also drive around a city as big as Los Angeles without GPS (though some of the fucking freeway exits in this town are fucking ass backwards).

So when I’m in a taxi this weekend in a different city (not an Uber, an actual licensed cab) and he can’t even figure out where you want to go when showing him the map with the location… wow. He never actually did figure out where we wanted to go, we just held the phone for him so he could follow the GPS directions to one of the more popular neighborhoods in the town he drives in professionally.

The French don’t call it France.

What does this mean?

No, he literally STARTED by stating what the republicans used to be about and then added a wildly inaccurate statement about what the republicans are about now.

You are the one who is arguing that this sheriff, who has a full time job with a higher rank in the same office as before, should still be receiving disability.

I was on disability for a time and was not allowed to work at all while on it. Once I was able to work again, I was taken off disability.

So you think it’s totally cool to have a person collect disability payments for years and years while working a full time job that pays even more than the job they are collecting disability from?

I get workman’s comp and suing for injuries incurred from a job, but at some point it is ridiculous to pay someone a full salary to not do anything when they are CLEARLY capable of performing the same job they are being paid to not do.

The point of disability is that you are unable to do a job and need assistance to continue living. This person is a sheriff NOW. His disability was from when he was a lieutenant with the sheriff’s office. So he is being paid because he can’t be a lieutenant but is perfectly fine being a sheriff?

I very much disagree.

The reason business owners hire people who aren’t citizens is because they are cheap labor. Not only are they taking advantage of people who have very little choice in who will hire them and need a job to feed their families, they are not creating jobs that pay a living wage for people who are citizens. If your business model requires slave labor to be successful, then you shouldn’t be in business.

Instead of criminalizing the people just trying to feed their families, criminalize the people who are taking advantage of people in a tough circumstance. It’s not difficult to show that you did your due diligence in trying to assess citizenship.
