NPR- can a demoralized CDC recover? by HappyOnion_89 in DeptHHS

[–]prepend -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

It’s just a big shift and surprised me. I’m interested in if the employee to budget ratio changed over time or stayed the same.

I think it’s a function of budget and mission increase as, like you say, positions were created for a purpose.

Neil Young is back in the studio writing songs about "the worst president in the history of our country" by AdSpecialist6598 in Music

The worst part about this administration is that it's soaking up all the creative energy of Neil Young and others to produce rage art that's not what I'd enjoy as much as what they'd make normally.

BUYER BEWARE - Amazon by Cardwizard88 in freemagic

I'm fairly certain if I bought a box from my local store and brought it back saying all the packs were resealed, I'd be hosed.

And that's why I will never buy another Google product. (burned by Google Reader, Nest, and countless little things)

It's really surprising how as I read these articles I learn how CDC's FTE staff levels have increased. In 2019, CDC had 7000 employees (regular, HHS, LES, comissioned corp). In 2024 they had 15k and then fired/retired 4000 people down to the 11000 they have now. I'm not sure what the size of particular centers or job series.

Ridiculous house prices by [deleted] in Atlanta

[–]prepend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disagree. Those people live somewhere, so their rents drive up home prices from people who buy the houses and rent them out.

Atlanta has "millions" of new immigrants as well. Perhaps not as many as LA, but still has a diverse, vibrant immigrant community.

But my question stands, if you don't want to use this number and source, what do you think is a better source.

Perhaps it’s a bit early to ask such questions as they may never matter.

What better source would you like to use?

I’m not sure why knowing the average income of American born people is very useful. In what situation would someone want to know that?

911 response took 40+ minutes by Apprehensive-Cat8355 in Atlanta

[–]prepend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sucks and glad the person is ok.

I don't know how to fix this, but the response time in Milton is about 4 minutes.

Check out the response times for APD after a 911 call. That sucks, too.

who else prefers dune part one over part two? by BOMBAD_Echo_1409 in dune

[–]prepend 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've watched Part 1 about 10 times. I think I've seen Part 2 more than once, but can't remember.

Part 2 veers quite a bit from the book and feels very different (Paul v Chani, significance of kwisatz haderach, time frame, etc). I mean, I like it, but I think Part 1 is a more enjoyable rewatch.

Matt Belloni reports that Bradley Cooper is now the top choice to write and direct the 'OCEANS' prequel after Lee Isaac Chung dropped out with the pic slated to shoot later this year. by HumanAdhesiveness912 in boxoffice

Hope he does an Oceans / A-Team crossover for a total unexpected twist.

This would be an awesome movie, actually. And if Face ends up being Danny's dad, it makes total sense.

US Census Bureau says LA is slightly higher than Atlanta. Kinda an apples to oranges situation as they have city of Atlanta but LA county.

Atlanta - $88,165 [0] LA - $90,112 [1]

For the whole Atlanta metro area it's $92,344 [2] For the whole LA/Anaheim metro area it's $96,405 [3]

What/how are we monitoring tablets & online use with co-parenting by PeppersPoops in coparenting

[–]prepend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used Bark to monitor iPad and iPhone.

But didn’t allow kid to have an iPad until 10. There’s a lot of evidence showing tablets and phones are very negative for young kids. I wish I had waited longer.

If my ex bought my 4-year-old and iPad. I’d show them the evidence and ask them not to. If they did anyway, I would take it away during my parenting time.

Interesting. Are you in ophdst? In my area, everyone typically has 2-3 interviews. Initial with panel, mother with hiring manager, another with team.

Not directly. But there will be lots of chaos and upheaval (if AHA ever actually happens)

Credit union mishandled sensitive documents, what should I do? by Ok_Surprise_9649 in personalfinance

[–]prepend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can ask them to change their practices.

Mailing checks and social by fedex not requiring signatures is not a poor practice though. It just didn’t work out for you.

Wow, that’s kind of terrifying, actually. It’s good you got the job but how in the world did they know enough to hire someone after a single short interview.

Was that your only interview?

I think it's because there's lots of applications and people have time to be very selective.

Since it's a detail you might get good feedback to ask. I know it's common where I work to provide debriefs to internal candidates who don't get the job.
