Ex-CTLawyer

I would like to see the Felony Murder Rule applied to these who breeched the Capitol at teh instigation of the LOSER, Donald Trump.

@Always
The former employee who quit, then loses new job and files for unemployment….
You extend an offer of reemployment. His/her return would not be under duress. You were not unsatisfied with performance. You offer same level position as previous with same benefits. the return is not under duress.
You are not chaining the former employee as a slave. Free to leave at any time, but not to cause you an increase in your unemployment tax rate, when not fired or laid off.

BTW…back 40 years ago I was the Director of Personnel for a multi state manufacturing company (CT, NY, PA and SC). I protested many an unemployment claim that I considered unjust, unfair, etc. I attended the hearings. Most employers don’t show and the ex employee collects by default. I never lost a case.

@always
The key point that differentiates CT from other states is that no employee contributes to unemployment. ONLY the employer pays into the system.
I always laughed when an employee told me they were entitled to collect because they had paid into the system.
The employees in our NY and MA offices have unemployment tax deducted from their paychecks.

ujm, your ignorance is showing again.

The USA does NOT have an Attorney General, Barr resigned in December. No nominee was sent to the Senate for Confirmation by Lame Duck Trump.
Even if there were an Attorney General, his/her term would expire January 20, 2021 at noon EST.

Trump is an adulterer, grifter, deadbeat, racist, sexist, opportunistic thief.

In reality, The Trumplicans suing Pence are not Republicans any more. they are fringe lunatics who have chosen Scum over party and country.

@ALWAYS
Ct CT government funded laptops and/or tablets for every student who needed one (including those in private schools). Problem is the laptops are Chromebooks and the Tablets are iPads, nether has ports to work with ethernet cables. Free WiFi Hotspots have also been provided for those who cannot afford or didn’t have internet service. Cable providers such as Optimum have free emergency WiFi access in one hour increments in most CT cities (not in the little towns such as where I live). This Zoom and WiFi are an eveil match for many schoolchildren

@Always ask questions
Just catching up on this thread
Nov 1, you wrote that they can’t find school bus drivers, they all left to Amazon or Unemployment.

I don’t know where you live, but here in CT if you quit a job, you don’t collect. If you are called back (such as when in person school restarted) and refuse you no longer can collect.

Unlike other states, no employee in CT contributes to Unemployment. Only the employer is taxed and the government also pays a share.

@always
The grandchildren, etc.
Are not all enrolled in the same schools.
We have three whose school is running in-school classes full time. Along with a few others (helps that I am on the board) insisted that classroom lessons be streamed live. Don’t want them returning to that school in the future and find they are not doing things by the method thee school uses/prefers.
Because we have so much space and multiple dwellings in the compound, we don’t suffer issues of music interfering with study. One piano and the electric keyboards is in the studio over the garage building. The other is in our living room in a wing with out bedrooms or study area. We divided my late MIL’s home next door into classrooms, study areas and a lunchroom. we don’t want the kids studying in their bedrooms and claiming they need doors closed/locked for ability to concentrate.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I disagree with your premise about educated/intelligent as opposed to income level. If a highly intelligent poor person has to absent him/herself from the house 12 hours a day in order to put food on the table, keep lights and heat on, etc. The children don’t benefit as much as with a moderately intelligent parent who can afford to be at home and nurture.
MRS. CTL. has been a designer/builder/Realtor for 40 years but always maintained a home office (with a separate entrance for clients from the outdoors). She was always home when our children were home from school. Any appointments at job sites, showings, vendors were made during school hors or at times I could be home. Thus she has a successful career while being a stay at home mother. Could she have made even more over the years working full time in an outside office, yes, but money beyond a certain amount isn’t going to change our life.

B have high schoolers and are looking for acceptable credit courses at reasonable prices that can be started at any time and done at your own pace; I highly recommend you look at the online classes offered for High Schoolers by Brigham Young University. Because the Mormons require outreach journeys across the world of all members, they have devised a top notch fully accredited on line US High School. The credits are accepted all over and on transcripts by the best US colleges and Universities.

@Always
We’ve had all the grandchildren, and asst Great Nieces and Nephews in residence since school shut down last March.
Our local Board of Education has made available all its standardized testing and scoring at no charge so we can see how they are doing in general subjects.
They can’t make this available to religious schools, but since the children are distance learning, they bundled our request in with other Home Schooling families,
Testing was made available for English, Math, Science, US History and a cognitive test for art/music

It is not a matter of the poor being at a disadvantage because your son could not afford the Kaplan course, yielding lower LSAT scores and no law school scholarship.
All 5 of my children went to law school, as did 3 of their spouses. Not one took the Kaplan or any paid course to prepare for the LSAT exams. Several bought used Kaplan LSAT books on eBay or Amazon for less than $50, just to get an overview of the LSAT exams.

None of them took a Bar review course, after graduation before taking the Bar exam, and all passed on first try.
Rich or poor had nothing to do with it, intelligence, study ethics, hard work and ability to analyze and reason determined performance.

I have taught law school courses over the years and saw no difference in performance by rich or poor students that good be attributed to their economic status.

Your observation is not valid. He could have taken the Kaplan Course and still have done poorly on his LSAT and not gotten a scholarship.

@CommonSaychel
Gigante didn’t just use Bob Grant as a stage name, he used it in his aborted run for Mayor of NYC.
The others you cited were all just in Show Biz…..

Bob Grant…who called for forced sterilization of welfare moms. How many Frum families receiving public assistance would this have affected if it became law? Don’t worry, Grant meant the Blacks, not those wearing Black Hats

Sounds like Hitler to me

He was a racist, homophobe, self hating Italian who wouldn’t even use his real name, Gigante. This midget was no Giant,

@Goldilocks
Actually, it’s Harris who is part Indian.

Torahvaluesoverparty post LIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
90% of voters would NOT vote for Trump in 2024. Less than 50% of those voting voted for him in 2016 and 2020.

Trump did not build the useless wall, and Mexico did NOT pay for it….big campaign promise.

He won’t be out campaigning for other candidates unless he can put a dollar, rouble or deutschemark in his pocket.

He showed America what a family of grifters can accomplish, when the grifter in cheiif has the power of the pardon. POTUS had a 4 year license to steal

UJM…….

The fat lady has already sung and returned to the stage numerous times for encores.

BUT, Because of Kol Isha, the Trumplicans (now known as LOSERS) in the CR haven’t heard the song.

@UJM
You have absolutely no idea what you are posting
The Democrat Party is NOT Communist and never has been. It does not call for government ownership of everything.
It looks to expand government run and funded social dating back to the New Deal of 1933.
I like having Social Security and Medicare.

Did you refuse your stimulus check this year (disclosure I don’t qualify based on income limits).
Do your kids benefit from USDA school lunch assistance.
Do friends and family get Section 8, SNAP Benefits, WIC, Medicaid, ACA?

Perhaps you are a landlord, as I am and collect rents paid by the housing authority to holders of Section 8 vouchers. Maybe you are a doctor or dentist who can bill Medicaid for your patients…

Maybe you live in NYC and have a rent controlled or rent stabilized apartment, or use subsidized public transit.

Not all socialism is bad

Dogs (and cats)….
I have found ownership by frum people to be more of a city vs. country thing.
I have never not had dogs, neither has Mrs. CTL. Both Born in CT and lived in single family homes with land.
We both have siblings married to people who came from city apartment buildings who never owned dogs, one had a cat.
Currently we have 4 dogs and 2 cats. One dog died of old age last week, We have an area of our grounds under a large apple tree that is our pet cemetery. The dog was buried there (along side about a dozen other dogs and cats). A flagstone was placed over the grave and sometime next spring I’ll scratch his name and date of death into the stone. This was our second teen aged dog to pass in 6 months. Our grandchildren (along with us) miss them very much. They were very important for the children to have while all here since March due to Ciovid,

Here, walking a dog on Shabbos is not an issue, we open the sliders to one side of our yard and the dogs have a half acre of fence land to run, play and do their business. No walking around with bags and pooper scoopers, just natural fertilizer for their grass play area.

Our shul Rav has two dogs. I don’t know many non-elderly shul members in town without dogs.
That said, If I lived in a high rise apartment building and had to take dogs out for a walk multiple times a day, I doubt I’d own dogs.
Cats, OTOH are lo maintenance. ours are inside cats, never go outside, but do control the field mice problem in the house. With a home more than 200 years old and a stone foundation we do get mice when the weather turns cold, so we have a downstairs cat and an upstairs cat for pest control

UJM post a lot of accusations with not a single iota of proof and also posts falsehoods.

Rudy Guiliani is NOT America’s Mayor. He was once the Mayor of NYC, he was never the mayor anywhere else.
He is a serial adulterer, a liar, cheat, and senile. He is not representing America, but is Trump’s personal attorney paid to do Trump’s bidding as an individual, not as President.

I live in a state that requires Picture ID to vote, unless the voter refuses and then has to fill out a form subject to the laws of perjury, attesting the voter is who he/she says is.
You must show proof of residency to register to vote and attest to citizenship subject to criminal penalties.
We don’t have Democrat friendly judges, overturning laws that prevent voter fraud. Our judges are not elected (except Probate) and are non-partisan.
The decision to allow unrestricted absentee ballots in CT was not a late decision, it was made in late March.
I have been an Asst. Registrar of Voters for years. We may not open envelopes and start processing the absentee ballots until the polls open on election day. Our town starting the process at 8am and it was complete before midnight. Every ballot was examined by both a D and and R poll worker before it could be fed into the tabulator machine.
Our Town clerk routinely sends copies of death certificates to the Registrar’s office so those deceased can be removed from the voting lists as soon as the death is registered. The Registrar also gets lists from DMV of address changes. If you move your drivers license out of town, you are struck from the voting roll.
Voter fraud is extremely rare in most of the USA, which is not ti say it is non-existent. BUT, it is not to the level that would have given Trump re-election.

The Grifter, deadbeat, serial bankrupt Trump is using this fraudulent claim to raise hundreds of millions of dollars, that he spend as he wishes through his new PAC. You can bet many of the family will be on the payroll.

Since early March, we have had a home full of our grand children, younger nieces, nephews and grand nieces and nephews.
Mrs. CTL and I along with our children who have been living in the compound have been serving as morah and rebbi, camp counselors, cooks, etc. besides running our professional practice.
My doctor said the half hour a day I spend on the CR is an important stress reliever.

Who are you to tell me what to do?

@Coffeeaddict
Stop deflecting, it doesn’t become you
We are discussing trump, not the son of our incoming President,
No one elected the son to any office.
Trump was elected in 2016 and lost in 2020.
Biden will be sworn in on January 20th. His son has no official position. I hioghly doubt he will have a White House position as the profiteering Kushners hold.

I am a Liberal Democrat.
Liberal is NOT the same as radical Left. I am NOT a fan or supporter of AOC or Bernie Sanders (who is NOT a Democrat, but caucuses with them).

Free College for all?
Free public college tuition for all. why shouldn’t today’s have the advantage that my parents got with free tuition at CCNY and Hunter College in the 1930s? Connecticut grants free community college to every instate High School graduate effective with the class of 2020.
If you want private higher education, to live on campus, etc. You pay for the costs above tuition.

More taxes? Not more taxes, but higher. I’d eliminate the tax cuts that Trump pushed through Congress that benefited the wealthy and hurt the lower and middle classes. I’d keep increasing sin taxes on tobacco. This might price people out of smoking, cut disease and death and the public burden of caring for it’s victims.

Open borders, NO. Make visas easier to get for relatives of those already here and true refugees. How many families/ancestors of CR members git in because they had a relative who had come first and/or were refugees of Pogroms or the shoah?

Everyone white automatically racist? NO, but many are. There is systemic racism in bith our police departments and housing regulations, Out town’s police have been sanctioned by the state for its racism. 3-5 acre minimum zoning in the suburbs keeps out both Blacks and frum Jews.

Are policemen bigoted? No more than the rest of society, but they have guns, use force and can intimidate those they loathe.

Pro-Abortion, NO. Pro-choice is NOT the same as pro-abortion. As an adoptive parent I wouldn’t have my youngest if her birth mother aborted the fetus. That said, It is not my right to enforce my views on a woman who is pregnant. It is between the woman. the father-to-be and her doctor. A woman who is pregnant by rape or incest or actually a non-consenting minor should not be forced by the state to carry a pregnancy to term. That is Cruel and Unusual Punishment.

Anti-Second Amendment? No, but I favor stronger gun laws, education, testing, etc. Personally I have no problem with those who belong to the National Guard (our well regulated militia) bearing arms. Would I own a gun, NO. Would I permit a guest to bring one into my home or office, also no.

Iran Nuclear Deal, needs work. Poorly enforced in the past, but better than what we have now,

This LIBERAL will state that YWN is FAR from Liberal, PRO TRUMP BIAS all the time.
