You’re bantering with yourself, again. It’s still boring.

You’ve created a narrative out of whole cloth here, are arguing against points never raised, and made claims about positions and people that I’ve never taken. That’s boring.

No, I'm not missing any of that. I'm not in the AG's office, I have no idea what constitutes a crime nor do I know anything about what's required to legally/lawfully get fringe benefits or perks. I have my thoughts on the ability to justify such things, but I don't swim in those waters so it is what it is. Maybe this employer-provided-apartment thing is way more dangerous to the collective than it sounds. As for the grand jury, the reality is in our system, they could indict a monkey for eating a banana. The process is one-sided, with a presentation by the prosecutor from the most important office in NYS laying out all the reasons to push forward to a bunch of folks just like me--unschooled in the law, tax regulation, or anything close to what passes as 'business as usual' in the state. Having sat on a grand jury, job one for the prosecution is not to blurt out "THIS IS A SETUP" and beyond that, you're pretty much good to go. Historically, I think, it means one of three things: 1. You're guilty of something and they feel they can prove it; 2. You're not guilty, but unlucky enough that the people responsible for such things think you are; 3. Someone is out to get you; I have no idea what the deal is here. I simply made the point that some crime is criminal but viewed as no big deal, some crime acceptable when you're a power broker in NYS, and the probability that something isn't actually a crime might well be pursued as criminal especially when you consider the players who held the AG position over the past decade or so. NYS is a clown show. It's rife with corruption, money and power rules the day, and its not a stretch to say that a guy driving a Mercedes provided by his employer is a way, way bigger issue to some than a sex trafficking governor and being the architect of a scheme that leaves thousands of our elderly folks dying alone, isolated from loved ones. Maybe it's you who's missing the bigger picture--hard to say, the internet is a funny place.

So let's recap. Organization offers executives perks (leased vehicles, apartments etc), accounting-related questions come into play, criminal charges ensue against high ranking members of organization. According to most reports, disagreements on these sorts of complicated tax disputes are typically resolved in civil court. Be that as it may... Democrat Governor on NY runs a prostitution game from the state capitol where he participates in sex trafficking and all that comes with it, no charges filed. Democrat Attorney General with a drug habit is accused of battering at least 5 women, no charges filed. Democrat Governor of NY (also accused of sexual harassment/offensive workplace conduct) forces nursing homes in the state to accept COVID patients where our most vulnerable citizens reside, resulting in thousands of deaths, subsequently creates a scheme to cook the books to mislead patients, their families and the public, no charges filed. Sounds about right for NY politics. 🤡

#metoo what?

Whatever happened to that guy? One minute he’s talking about close interpersonal relationships with guys in the jernt, next thing he drops off the face of the earth.

This is often true. I recall a couple dem presidential front runners raising serious and substantial concerns about election security, fraud and manipulation of votes back before it was fashionable to brand anyone raising such concerns as a heretic. Admittedly that was a full 10 and half months before the most recent election was stamped as the most amazingly cool and safe election in the history of forever. https://www.warren.senate.gov/oversight/letters/warren-klobuchar-wyden-and-pocan-investigate-vulnerabilities-and-shortcomings-of-election-technology-industry-with-ties-to-private-equity

Well, I'd think for most of us, rate of pay falls into one of the 'any one of dozens of reasons'. On top of that, if the work force views the employer/employee relationship as temporary or disposable for any one of dozens of reasons, it likely won't come as a surprise to the employer. If the employer views it similarly, it's likely not a surprise to the employed. There are no new ideas, just different cycles in the life of a business. All you can do as a small business owner is treat people with respect. But, as noted, I'll spread the word and we'll fight the, uh, man, whomever he may be.

Take notice that people are typically employed on an at-will basis? I’ve been a small business owner for 22 years. I can’t speak for all but I think a lot of us know people terminate employment for any one of dozens of reasons. It’s definitely a thing. I’ll try and spread the word.

And W Bush, former war crimes president according to msm and every dem poli suddenly becomes lovable old George, hugger of Shells, statesman and painter. Beloved by millions. His war for oil VPs daughter, a multimillionaire R becomes the darling of the liberal left as she campaigns tirelessly to return to the good old days of American politics where W Bush, Biden, Obama, Romney all hold positions of power and have a whole crapton of benjamins. It’s like nothing really matters.

I see no power shift here. The article mentions a guy who had a job, who decided he didn’t want the job, and is no longer doing it. We don’t know the outcome from the perspective of the company, but one would presume they found another employee to replace him. This is the way it’s been. The guy sees an opportunity to improve his quality of life, the person replacing him likely sees it the same way. The company replaces an employee likely more motivated to do the work they need done. No villains, no victims.

I think in today’s world every time should be as fats or slow as the participant believes it should be. I call it soul racing.

To some, it's that the B-Man doesn't post the RIGHT stuff.

#truth Honestly if I’m Beane I’m on the phone with KC right now offering a 6th for Kelce. That mammajamma has got to be killing their TE room. In fact, I might not even offer that but I have ice in my brains.

Ah, you should have just said that. Thank you for your service.

Why the snark? I agreed that this sort of thing is much ado about nothing, and as natural as the swallows returning to Capistrano. Adams should be excoriated for even questioning a simple keystroke error that resulted in a 135,000 vote miscue. Statistical anomaly. No big deal. It’s like spelling his name Aadams or some’in like that. Special credit for referencing the Rhino though. He’d appreciate that. Or, be mildly concerned. When a NY politician questions election results, I’m just glad it’s not an assault on democracy, kids with freckles and apple pie.

No sensible banker would ever cash that check. The routing and account numbers are all 0s (zeds for our neighbors to the north).

Absolutely. Mistakes happen. They simply forgot to clear tests votes amounting to the population of a Syracuse, NY or Alexandria, Virginia. That created the appearance that one candidate had a substantial lead, when in fact, he didn’t, the third place candidate was actually the second place candidate, and the person in second place wasn’t actually in the hunt at all. Now the first place candidate (coincidentally a former police officer apparently popular despite the defund the police sentiments of the day), seems concerned there is something nefarious is afoot, when everyone knows absolute trust in our voting process is The Way. He’s being silly. This ***** happens all the time. Margin of error. Slip of the tongue. Loose lips sink ships.

It was a long and winding road you took to get there, but God love ya, you got here.

Nice try, but not again. It was not Hugh G. Rection. I had to throw out my computer after that google search.

Well, the one side that I can see looks to be Italian or French . It’s been a while since I studied foreign language in high school, but loosely translated it seems to read “Le Poopie, she happens!”. The backside is hidden, but “Olè” is trending on Twitter.

Bernie Madhoff needed that sort of investigation.

Ethics aside, the greatest salespeople in the world typically offer something the customer doesn’t know he/she is buying but that they cannot get enough of.

Our movie would be called “Dusk to 4 minutes post-Dusk”, including the part acknowledging my passing.
