Just got off the phone with my college roommate.
His daughter was diagnosed with leukemia in January.
He has insurance. Good insurance. The kind you feel safe having.
7 months later:
Savings: wiped out. 401k: cashed early. Penalties and all. House: refinanced to cover the gaps insurance decided werenβt their problem.
He told me heβs not the same person anymore.
Said watching your child fight for her life while simultaneously fighting an insurance company over coverage codes does something to you that doesnβt go away.
They did everything right.
Two incomes. No debt. Responsible their whole lives.
One diagnosis undid all of it in 7 months.
And somewhere a health insurance CEO is getting a $30 million bonus this quarter.
I donβt know how people defend this system with a straight face.
I really donβt.
@ThomasJFarrell7 You have the up shot mastered and Iβm impressed! Itβs usually an unflattering angle for most people. Stay cool, I just got home from NY. Sweltering in Atl right now.
After working for 40 years, the average Social Security recipient gets $1850/month.
After being in America for 40 minutes, the average illegal βrefugeeβ gets $3874/month.
And red or blue, that should PISS EVERYONE OFF.
6 AM Call to Action
If you have a colleague here on a visa who clearly cannot do their job, report them anonymously - and tell your other colleagues this option exists. Remember the ability to communicate effectively is also a requirement for a visa.
This is how we make it uncomfortable for employers who abuse the system. This is also how we empower the good employers who feel powerless as their teams get flooded with H-1B workers who cannot perform at the expected level.
Every report is required to generate an investigation, eventually. HR may never tell you, but these reports impact financials, policy, and hiring practices over time. It also leads to investigations into whether their academic credentials are valid.
Use the official channels:
- USCIS Tip Form: https://t.co/RvF91BTY75
- Department of Labor Foreign Labor Certification: https://t.co/YxwGF1Q5Nw
- DOL Wage and Hour: 1-866-4-USWAGE (1-866-487-9243)
I prefer online as that leaves an FOIA path that is easily traced.
Quietly share this path with others. When enough people document real performance and communication failures, companies will finally feel pressure to hire Americans who can actually do the work.
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
@greta@Patriot911News The Saudis were most definitely involved. If he shot anything, he certainly wasnβt the only one. But I always felt like it was an arms deal gone bad. I still have the crime scene photos saved somewhere.
Eleven days ago at Blue Ridge Animal Rescue in Asheville, North Carolina, a tiny black terrier mix named Wren arrived from a neglect case, Severely underweight Completely shut down. Wouldn't eat.!
Wouldn't lift her head. Staff tried everything for five days. Nothing reached her. Then there was Chester. A twelve year-old Great Pyrenees, Surrendered four years ago. Never adopted. Too old, people say. Too big. But shelter directon Mara says quietly: "Chester has settled more broken dogs than anything else we've tried!" Night five, Chester walked across the kennel and lay down beside Wren. By morning she had eaten her first full meal. Chester is still available for adoption. Still showing up fo the ones nobody else can reach.
@WallStreetApes@ViKu1111 https://t.co/A8dLJWAdyA is a must! You can put up to five pets on your account for $100 a year (maybe less during a sale) for online vet visits and RXs. I still have my regular vet for when I have to go, but Dutch has been amazing.
This cat is at Petco. She has been there since December of last year. They said she doesnβt have much time before the shelter comes to take her. She is sweet but she has to be in a one cat house. Please someone come get her.
