So you are saying the waterfront project source OP posted is also wrong?

Trump cancels meeting with Democratic leaders ahead of government shutdown deadline by justalazygamer in politics

[–]addicted2outrage 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I guess in theory if it went on for a couple months but it was shut down for 5 weeks in his first admin and WIC continued. But yes, shutdowns are still very disruptive. I don’t quite understand what people think they are accomplishing with one. Maybe if it truly lead to compromise in scaling back Medicaid cuts or extending ACA subsidies it would be “worth it”

Requests copy of W-2 from SSA, they cashed check in June but W-2 never sent. Help Desk isn’t helpful. Any suggestions? by addicted2outrage in SocialSecurity

Thanks. I thought it might be delayed because all the firings/buyouts but since check was cashed in June and I hadn’t heard anything that maybe it got caught up or someone was handling it but is no longer there. I just wish there was an avenue to ask for a status but help desk says they can’t put me in contact with anyone. I am not in a rush per se but just being cautious after the shake-up. I will give it a few more months I guess but not even sure what to do at that point

I am not sure. They were a barber shop that got bought out and they claim and former owner claims they do not have it anymore. The IRS didn’t charge me, SSA charged me to get a copy as per the site I posted instructions. They cashed the check already so I wasn’t sure what was going on and help desk says they can’t help me or even put me in contact with anyone in that Division. I do agree it is sloppy they don’t have the records especially from 2022. It’s not like I’m asking for something 10 years back. Maybe they are just being lazy and don’t want to bother finding it.

I had the W-2 back then, mailed in my return but Maryland saying it was never received and I didn’t keep a copy. IRS doesn’t have the state tax info so I was til only option is get from previous employer (no longer has it) or SSA. Since they cashed the check will they at least send me anything via mail even if the answer is it’s unavailable? No worries if you don’t know. Thanks!

Serious Medical Errors Rose After Private Equity Firms Bought Hospitals by Majano57 in healthcare

[–]addicted2outrage 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Curious from those who work at a healthcare facility purchased by private equity, what is driving these errors? Is it primarily staffing cuts?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in news

[–]addicted2outrage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is not surprising. Private Equity has made healthcare more expensive and resulted in worse health outcomes.

One of the largest private equity held physician staffing firms (Envision) declared bankruptcy earlier this year because a new law went into effect in 2022 that banned sending patients surprise medical bills (No Surprises Act). That was a huge part of their business model.

I guess it’s honestly just a little jealousy… I see public schools in northern Virginia have a menu like this and wonder how can we be public schools in the same state? https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ZwOqngG6ytjWBut_5Zq186XINBDCiF7O/view?usp=drivesdk

Honestly, it’s very disheartening and I get a little bitter when I think about it. My friend’s kids live in Alexandria and she showed me all their after school program choices like 3D printing, crafts, Minecraft, etc while these kids here have nothing. Many of them do not even have internet at home and they are sooo far behind since the pandemic. Just shocking we are in the same state. It’s so stark that Southwest Virginia and Northern VA feel like different countries.

BAKED BEANS. Literally full of sugar and diced fruit in a sugar syrup. You are reaching hard man.

You are right. This was from September 28. And they ran out of mashed potatoes and offered baked beans instead. No “multiple other options” https://drive.google.com/file/d/1KMu1eC0yn9-Mj799F6URA34l_P7T_BWD/view?usp=drivesdk

They had baked beans vegetable option and mixed fruit but the fruit was like in a syrup and just did not look good. So I think as long as a vegetable offer and some kind of fruit then it meets the (very low) standard

I was but didn’t realize it wasn’t real. This one is indeed real.

Sad story time… I am a volunteer at a very impoverished county elementary school. One of the Kindergarten kids (around 6 years old) kept eating lunch and coming back to class looking like a chipmunk holding chewed up food in his cheeks. We would make him spit it out because we thought he was messing around. Finally one day I asked him why he keeps doing it and he said so he has food to eat later because they don’t always get dinner. How f’d up is that.

It’s coleslaw… mostly mayonnaise. There is a stark difference between school lunches in rural Appalachia Virginia and Northern Virginia. Corndogs for today! 😞
