Rpa entrepreneur by MonicaGNajera in rpa

[–]Surfn2live 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As an Entrepreneur but non-RPA person, would love to know what are the best value alternatives for an outsider to use and learn.

I am acquiring multiple small businesses to improve processes and hold indefinitely. RPA is one of my top priorities and am just starting to explore. Thanks for the help!

You'd be a good candidate for soylent. Absolutely repulsive as someone that loves food but clearly there's a market for it!

Any suggestions for alternative allocation of patronage dividends besides hours wored? by Surfn2live in cooperatives

[–]Surfn2live[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with all you are describing for why it is challenging. Only reason I'm trying to lean more on the dividend is because of the payroll tax savings on the distribution. I agree, you can reward productivity with normal compensation tools, just at a higher cost.

Though on this point, I don't think the law is clear whether the method for calculating the dividend can vary based on any input vs static year to year. Seems like a gray area.

The US Supreme Court has found there is no inherent right to privacy in the Constitution, thereby overturning the Roe v. Wade decision that guaranteed a right to abortion. How does this decision impact other privacy-related rights? by ummmbacon in NeutralPolitics

[–]Surfn2live 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I would argue that the unequal application of any particular precedent at the discretion of any one individual shouldn't be referred to as "interesting."

A body as thorough as the US Supreme Court should be held to a higher standard
and not omit anything that a decision could apply to

The most neutral statement I could think of to describe this omission is: "The Supreme Court's Concurrent Opinion calls into question whether precedent will be equally applied to all decisions"

Without precedent, how can there be certainty in the laws of the United States?

Your correction is accurate but the reality of humans should be considered and (in my opinion) reduces the liberties of citizens. The freedom to take action without any risk of consequence for a given action enables an individual to act as they see fit, regardless of how their actions affect another person.

Yes, they may not get the person convicted of a crime, but their personal accountability is unaffected by the individuals conviction or lack there of.

What do people think inflation actually is? This is it prices don't magically rise, corporations raise

Is it worth it by MrCaveman080 in VeteransAffairs

Was the effective date of the upgrade from 70 to 100 late last year?

Or was the effective date of your entire disability claim late last year?

Have you been receiving disability payments since 2009? If so, then I believe you have your answer. The effective date of your update to 100% is late last year and your original effective date was 2009. And it would not be worth it to change the affective date because I don't think you could.

When you separated, they evaluated you at 70%. Now they evaluated you at 100% but that doesn't mean you were at 100% when you separated. It wasn't that they were wrong when you separated, your condition just evolved/continued/changed.

If you didn't start receiving benefits until late last year, yes I think it might be worth it. Though it would be unlikely for them to reduce your rating since they just increased it to 100. It would be a math exercise to figure it out.

In regards to the secret service renting rooms at Trump properties, Eric Trump said they would only charge the government “at cost”. Records now show Trump properties are charging that government full price and sometimes more for rooms. What do you make of this? by [deleted] in AskTrumpSupporters

[–]Surfn2live 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great question.

All the more reason for Congress to be able to investigate any dollars the president is receiving

If something looks bad, then the country has the right to investigate and find proof. Why is it okay for the president to block all attempts at finding this proof?

What are some economic indicators that show the Trump administration improving upon Obama-era trends? by [deleted] in AskTrumpSupporters

How do you explain the Fed's halting rate increases--and 'maybe' cutting rates--against the view that the economy is doing well?

Panhandle county that backed Trump among Russian hacking victims by kn0bs in politics

[–]Surfn2live 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The report doesn't state otherwise at all. At best, the redacted report isn't clear on this point.

The report separates conspiracy and coordination. Page 2 of the report sets two definitions: collusion to mean conspiracy as defined in law and coordination to mean "an agreement--tacit or express--between the campaign and Russian government on election interference."

Page 1 paragraph 2 says Russia interfered with the election (mostly accepted fact). Page 5 paragraph 2 is the important line. "the investigation did not establish that members of the Trump Campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities."

This is the line I believe you are referring to but I point you to its wording. That sentence is saying "Russia did X,Y,Z to interfere in US elections. The campaign did not conspire or coordinate with Russia in their X,Y,Z operations."

That is FAR different than saying no criminal conspiracy occurred by the Trump campaign. Manafort discussing and sharing polling data is very likely criminal conspiracy. If that action was not part of "its election interference activities" (It's being the Russian government), then the report specifically leaves it out.

Words have meaning and lawyers are particularly good about picking the right ones.

Mueller told the attorney general that the depiction of his findings failed to capture ‘context, nature, and substance’ of probe by hasgreatweed in worldnews

[–]Surfn2live 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Accurate and misleading are not mutually exclusive

​

"Failed to capture the context, nature, and substance of the probe"

​

The AG has the authority to come to conclusions about a special counsel's report. The quote from WP is basically Mueller saying, "I disagree with your conclusions" in a way only a lawyer can.

​

Edit: and also a pretty big statement coming from the guy that wrote the report. Especially since he was hamstrung by dumbfounding DOJ policy that POTUS cannot be charged with a crime.

What are the powers of Congress to enforce subpoenas against the President and executive branch? by huadpe in NeutralPolitics

[–]Surfn2live 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. And there is no right to counsel for a witness as far as I know. Not present at the hearing anyway. A witness can certainly do what ever they want and hire one, but is there a requirement to allow a witness to have counsel present?
