SANCTIONS AGAINST BIG LIE LAWYERS STAND

Supreme Court refuses to hear appeal by lawyers who tried to steal the election for Trump.

Let us celebrate an actual consequence, since they happen so rarely.

I would like to compare and contrast two #jobs here in the UK. They happen to be my job and my wife's job.

My job first. I work on a small part of a global manufacturing giant's website. I basically tweak it to add tiny improvements in style or the display of data. I can honestly say I have not done any work in the last 6 months that would generate income for my employers equal to what I am paid. I am literally wasting money for them. I get paid very handsomely to do this.

My job adds precisely fuck all to society as a whole. It only "benefits" the company I work for. I guess a proportion of the tax I pay goes to making the world better through funding the NHS etc.

My wife works in a council run day centre for people with all kinds of disabilities and additional needs. They play games, do arts and crafts, sing, go out for trips, provide access to the internet and more. My wife's job is basically to make people happy. To give them meaning in their lives and to give them something to look forward to. In doing that she takes pressure off the NHS, the police and more. She makes the world a better place.

The council had to wait for the governments last update to minimum wage as they worried that if they set their pay rate it would wind up being below minimum wage.

The whole system is crazy.

This law is horrifying. It doesn't just affect people under 18, although that’s bad enough. All "sexually oriented" material is now banned from libraries, for all persons. This covers any book that contains "representations or descriptions" of sexual intercourse, homosexuality, lesbianism, and even buttocks or breasts. If your book describes a breast or a bum, it's banned from libraries in Mississippi.

Kelly Dahl in yesterday's NY Times as she resigns from the Supreme Court Bar:

"I am embarrassed to be associated with this court in any way. I have worked too hard and long to be sullied by an association with such disregard for the law and ethics. I am resigning."
