Ruben Bolling đŞ˛Both parties have held the debt ceiling hostage as a political tool. For example, in 2011, the Republicans did it. But in 2013, the Republicans did it. On the other hand, this year it is the Republicans who are doing it.

- don't save money
- don't improve company performance
- don't increase stock pricess
- destroy trust
- have huge impacts on health, well-being, and income of employees
So why do layoffs? It's a network effect: execs lay people off because other companies are doing it

What explains recent tech layoffs, and why should we be worried? | Stanford News
As layoffs in the tech sector mount, Stanford Graduate School of Business Professor Jeffrey Pfeffer is worried. Research â by him, and others â has shown that the stress layoffs create takes a devastating toll on behavioral and physical health and increases mortality and morbidity substantially. Layoffs literally kill people, he said.

The House Republican leadership is complicit in the fraud Santos perpetrated against the public.
RT if you agree Elisa Stefanik can't remain silent and MUST disavow George Santos.

*Poof!* Horse disappears.

Do you know how many times I've heard over the past few days how much the media is failing to follow the money in this story about the newly elected Rep. George #Santos? This story makes it clear that's exactly what happened.
https://www.theleaderonline.com/single-post/santos-filings-now-claim-net-worth-of-11-million (edit: replaced the paywalled WaPo story about how the MSM missed the big scoop with the big scoop itself).
So let's follow the money, shall we? Starting with Mr. Santos' latest filing for The #Devolder Organization, which is apparently responsible for his sudden unexplained wealth (Devolder is Santos' late mother's last name).
The organization lists its address as 336 N. Babcock St. Ste 104. The document also lists another organization at the same address but at Ste 101, called D&D International Investment Services Inc.
Both are affiliated with an individual named Devaughn #Dames, who appears to be both a physician and a CFO somehow. He's also very passionate about spreading his knowledge about how to handle your money wisely. His linkedin page mentions both companies. He also seems to be an IT expert; previous domains include https://web.archive.org/web/20160518071721/http://www.manageditsolutions.net/about.html
One of Mr. Dames' email addresses (dev.dames at gmail) was used to register the vanity domain devaughndames[.]com. Firefox didn't like what that site tried to do when I visited it, but it loaded an empty page that had the heading "Financial Educational Services." But the pop-up takes you to a domain called myuwe[.]net, which is for an entity called United Wealth Education.
Now, UWE is full of stock photos and videos, and there isn't much there about who runs it. And after spending a few minutes on this site, you'll probably come away with the conclusion that the site is tied to some type of scam.
Well, if you look up the name of what Myuwe[.]net used to be called -- Financial Educational Services -- you'll see they were shut down JUST THIS YEAR by the US Federal Trade Commission for being a giant pyramid scheme that bilked people out of more than $213 million.
How's that for following the money? :) Wait, I'm not done yet.

Santos Filings Now Claim Net Worth of $11 Million
By Maureen Daly Controversial US congressional candidate George Santos has finally filed his Personal Financial Disclosure Report on September 6th - 20 months late - and he is claiming an inexplicable rise in his alleged net worth to $11 million.. Two years ago, in 2020, Santos' personal financial disclosures claimed that he had no assets over $5,000 - no bank accounts, no stock accounts, no real property. A net worth barely above "zero". And his income was only just over $50,000 for the pr
Qasim Rashid, Esq.As Southwest CEO Bob Jordan pretends to apologizeârememberâSW got a $7B federal bailout, spent $5.6B of that on Stock Buybacks, gave their CEO a raise to $9.1M, & forced frontline workers into 16 hour shifts under threat of terminationâwhile spending $0 updating SW softwaređł
Southwestâs debacle isnât an accident. Itâs the predictable result of billionaire & corporate corruption & greedâ& thousands of workers & travelers are paying the price.
In a just world SW execs will face criminal charges.
