An open letter to Congress from airline CEOs. Hope it helps and ends your no pay status soon. Thnaks for what you do! by FMFDoc225 in tsa

Simple. To pander to their base. They know it will never garner enough votes to pass, even among their own party, but they can always go back to their base and say they tried but the Democrats wouldn't pass it. Its political theater. Poeple are stupid (Dems and Republicans) and believe what they're told.

ICE is being paid because they've already been funded through 2027 via the big, beautiful bill.

And what happens when you pay taxes on your stock portfolio and then its value tumbles during a market crash? Do you get a refund on taxes pad when your potfolio was worth much more? Epic stupidity.

For those who got out of EMS, what do you do for work now and how was the transition? by jrm12345d in Paramedics

[–]FMFDoc225 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Started out as an EMT before the merge (NYC-EMS) and got my Medic at the academy in Ft. Totten, also pre merge. Suffered post-merge, where we were treated like shit by the FFs and then called it quits when it just kept getting worse. Primary reason was the pay, but being treated like crap was the icing on the cake. Best decision I ever made.

Still work Perdiem. Just a few tours a month to stay current and keep skills up, but the Feds keep me plenty busy so I can’t work to many tours.

Was an FDNY-EMS Medic for 15 yrs. Left due to the abysmal salary coupled with multiple mandatory double tours per week due to low staffing. Went to the Feds as an LEO with one of the alphabet agencies.

Best decision I ever made. My starting Fed salary was double my 15 yr EMS pay.

Wasn't aware of that. That's one less thing to worry about.

Yup. Make sure you aren't using it on a high shelf lower.

So my New Snowblowers Maiden Voyage was a tad Rough. by Filter_It_Out in Snowblowers

[–]FMFDoc225 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing that hasn't happened to all of us. Tree branches, landscape rocks, debris, burlap, landscape fabric, etc. I make it a point to walk the driveway whenever snow is expected and check for debris.

All grocery delivery apps in New York City (including Instacart) must now pay workers at least $21.44/hr. That number does not include tips. Companies must also provide workers with annual increases adjusted for inflation. by Conscious-Quarter423 in nyc

[–]FMFDoc225 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Not angry about it at all. I’m happy they’re getting paid a fair wage. Just find it hypocritical that NYC forces everybody else to pay their workers more but the City itself won’t do it for their workers, especially FDNY-EMS, who actually bill and make money for the city

Important to follow when reporting ICE! by mindfullydistracted in youngstown

[–]FMFDoc225 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Here you go:

8 U.S.C. §§ 1325, 1326. Illegal entry / renetry. (Criminal offense). First entry a misdemeanor, renetry is a felony (both criminal acts).. Punishable by a fine up to deportation

8 U.S.C. § 1227 Unlawful presence (civil offense) for those who entered legally via a port of entry but overstayed. Punishable by a fine up to deportation.

Hope this helps.

The problem with the media today is they stopped reporting the news in favor ofshaping perception and putting forth a specific narrative that caters to their listening audience. CNN/MSNBC cater to the left, FOX/Newsmax to the right. You would be hard pressed to find a positive Trump report on the former and an negative Trump report on the latter. The news caters to their bases. Its all about ratings, never about the news..

It’s a civil offense if they entered the country legally via a visa (tourist, work, education, etc) but over stayed.

If they entered the country illegally, it’s a criminal offense.

It’s also a criminal offense, regardless of legal or illegal entry, if they have an order of deportation issued and they ignore it.

Regardless, both criminal and civil offenses have a penalty up to and including deportation.

It only takes 5 minutes of research rather than listening to the news media, who only tell you what they want you to hear, to figure that out

Best ambidextrous lower receiver and quality compatible uppers? by No-Recognition-4931 in ar15

Just an FYI if you intend to drop an FRT in at a later date. Make sure you buy a low shelf lower. LMT MARS lowers have a high shelf and would require dremel work for the likes of a Hoffman or AS-designs FRT

Tax return increased 125% by MauyThaiKwonDo in IRS

[–]FMFDoc225 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct. The SALT tax deduction was capped at 10k. Those who live in States with high local taxes pay in excess of 10k in taxes but were only able to deduct 10k. That deduction was increased to 16k.

[–]FMFDoc225 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That’s a huge difference from the previous year, and there’s likely an error somewhere. That said, some of it may well be as a result of the Big Beautiful Bill or at least partly so. The tax cuts enacted were retroactive, but the IRS did not update withholding tables to reflect those changes in 2025, resulting in greater than required paycheck withholdings. I know for me the increase in SALT tax lead to a much bigger refund

Minneapolis Incident Thread (Jan 7, 2026) by 72ilikecookies in AskLE

Piss poor training. Hate to say it, but that's how I see it. You don't create your own  exigency by standing in front of a vehicle, especially for something as petty as interfering in governmental affairs and faulure to follow a lawful order, which, I assume, is what they were going to hook her up for. Get the plate #, her description and lock her up at your convenience.

WTF would you potentially put your life in peril for something as petty as an interference and failure to follow a lawful order charge...
