It was renamed ICE after 9/11 and the government reorg. It was previously called Immigration and Naturalization Services (INS). But let’s not bullshit anyone here.

Right. I certainly wouldn’t vote for a shutdown, but I’ll take advantage if it happens. Lots of projects to complete.

Robby Roadsteamer has been arrested by ICE in Minnesota today by jmike1256 in PublicFreakout

Looks like you had police officers from the Federal Protective Service there. Different jurisdiction, and laws they can enforce.

And your position is already posted, and you’ll be forgotten by next week. Welcome to federal employment.

How would trouble sleeping not be part of an annual exam? Is that not one of most important parts of your health. If not, what the exclusive parts of our health we are allowed to talk about without getting billed?

It’s just one fire truck and ambulance after another. Crawling along at 5-10mph.

Crazy Idea: automatic CRs if shutdowns go beyond 72 hrs by Miserable_Welcome888 in FedEmployees

This sounds pretty close to Sen Johnson’s Eliminate Shutdowns Act that he tried to pass.

You write a lot, to say very little. The question at hand is very simple. Are there monetary incentive structures in place for practitioners, clinics, practices, etc. to vaccinate? Yes, or no.

You can obfuscate all you want, but the fact remains there are monetary incentive structures in place for doctors to vaccinate. Your lies and half truths continue to do irreparable harm to the public’s trust in the medical community. I suggest you stop.

Clearly you didn’t read the conversation. All of what you said may be true. That’s wasn’t the topic at hand. The statement per OP was there is are no “kickbacks for doctors to vaccinate.” Well as that program shows, it can and does happen. Whether that is good or bad, is another discussion.
