Hiring more employees to help audit and go after folks that illegally evade paying their taxes and/or don't pay their taxes at all -- is definitely needed and brilliant. To get the most out of the investment of hiring and paying more employees -- be sure to go after the folks in the higher tax brackets that are purposely evading taxes.
What the HELL is going on!?!??!?!?!!?? Are we not living in the year 2022 or 1922????? Forcing these folks to wait 5 hours is unacceptable and criminal. There has to be a better, easier, and more efficient way to distribute the food coupons. Some examples... 1) mail them out each month directly to the citizen's home address; 2) if mail isn't possible, have last names A-H come in on Mon, I-R comes in on Tues, and S-Z comes in on Wed; and that is the process every month moving forward so citizens can arrange transportation way in advance; or how about 3) having enough coupons on hand every month so the Dept of Social Services doesn't run out.
"suffocate in masks?" No one has suffocated from wearing a mask. My wife is a doctor and has worn one all day every day for the past 14 years. Also, "secretly injected?" How are children secretly being injected?
110% agree!!!! Now that they are on the DCL payroll -- how in the hell are they going to be able to honorably and objectively monitor the environment and to ensure the DCL aren't doing anything illegal or damaging to the environment?
5 years? 5 freakin years?!??!!?? And still no school, post office, police station, health clinic, etc? Absolutely ridiculous and appalling. Yes, if the plan was not to repopulate and let it go -- that is one thing. But if the plan was to help rebuild, help the remaining citizens, and not to abandon the island -- then there is NO excuse.
Yes, the economy is very important. However, with that said, what Trump did on Jan 6th was absolutely appalling and illegal. No one is above the US Constitution - not even a sitting President. As a registered Republican and a Christian, I can promise you I will NEVER vote for Trump and/or any of his "followers" again. There is nothing more sacred in our country (and maybe the entire world for that matter) than the US Constitution.
Traitors????? These workers were promised and due to receive their back-pay way back in March. It never happened. Here it is almost August and they still haven't received their back pay (as promised). I don't fault the striking workers at all. The sole responsibility and fault lies with the fact they still haven't received their earnings that were promised to them. Simple solution -- PAY them what was promised and this never would have occurred.
Being gay or lesbian is NOT as result of mental illness. It's literally NO different from being born with red hair or blonde hair. Some of us are born with red hair others with blonde hair, of which you have no control over it. Same with being gay or lesbian, you are born that way and have no control over it.
