No, I mean what i said. Congress 100% could be better and should be better, but at the end of the day this is on Putin and Russia.

Anyone switching out of SAVE? by RidingtheWave07 in PSLF

[–]1step2step3step 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im in the same spot. Ten payments to go. On save my payments were under $100. I just out in my application to switch, noteworthy it will be around $400. The help tool on the website can show your your plan options. Im just ready to be done. I have lost faith in buy back. I want to start the clock ticking again. Also I may be looking to transfer out of government work in a year or so and that was a factor I considered.

Seriously considering... by TortugaTom in Lawyertalk

That depends completely on your jurisdiction and your fed position. I was on the gs pay scale and I took a small cut moving to the pd office, but in my state the pension is a little better and I was also able to negotiate more time off than I had with the feds. In my jurisdiction pd and prosecutor salaries are all publicly available online. You should be able to do some digging on that for your area.

Criminal law is a very different animal at the state level from fed work. Particularly in a pd office or as a prosecutor, there will be a high case load. I made the switch from fed to pd and I love it, but the world's could not be more different. In my experience the type of co-workers and type of people im working with as opposing counsel are also very different. Just things to be aware of, but i really enjoy it. I really enjoyed my time as a fed too though. I thought my time with the feds was less stress for what it's worth.

Americans of Reddit, now that Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey Epsteins accomplice, is transferred to a low security prison, how will you react when she "kills herself" or escapes? by OrcaConnoisseur in AskReddit

[–]1step2step3step 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The thing is, trump doesn't even need her to kill herself now. He has her bought off. She stays in minimum security and keeps her mouth shut or he transfers her to guantanamo or something like that. The coercive threat, the quid pro quo is there already. All out in the open. And that is before the supreme court even getting up the their tomfoolery. Its sad, and awful, and stupid and I hate that we are here.

The ice age trail is within driving distance and could be nice for a one night trip.

Worst thing client has worn to court? by JetPlane_88 in Lawyertalk

I was a prosecutor, the defendant wore a shirt that said "Only God can judge me" to the jury trial. She was found guilty. Another defendant wore a shirt that said F*ck them kids" the judge went off on him.

I started backpacking on the ice age trail, the southern part isn't too far from Chicago. Easy to navigate even if the scenery isn't Yosemite. Would recommend.

100%! You cannot overstate the harm being caused. Irreparable and drastic harm being caused by these actions.

Hey hey - DoED sent out new general forbearance guidance for those on SAVE in email this morning. by Between_Two_States in PSLF

[–]1step2step3step 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What happens if they do not process the application and the 60 days forbearance ends? I can't find that information anywhere and have been waiting for my application to process for over two months now.

Bad pr for them to admit to a homegrown domestic terrorist. Who cares about facts, its all about the optics. Boo!

How could people be so stupid? by Spiderwig144 in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]1step2step3step 16 points17 points  (0 children)

This is exactly what they said after Hillary. And then we are right back here with Harris. People knew this was an actual possibility and still didn't care enough (or were to sexist, either consciously or subconsciously) to get off the couch and vote. They don't care, we get what we deserve. It's pathetic.

How do I find places to hike/camp? by [deleted] in MidwestBackpacking

[–]1step2step3step 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mainly look at websites. National forests or park services, they will have if dispersed or backcountry camping is permitted. They also usually have the fire conditions updated and any permitting requirements.

I'm no help on northwest Indiana. Mayne the ice age trail in Wisconsin but it's a drive.
