Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Am I wrong for refusing to help my father?
93·1 day agoHow is sending a picture of a check to the person it’s made payable to bank fraud? You have no idea what’s he needs it for, right, right??!!
I understand your hesitation considering your history with him, but if anyone would be committing fraud it would be your father. Even so, IMO there is no bank that would press charges if he deposits an image of a check that is payable to him, especially for $600.

politics @lemmy.world•‘I have very severe problems’: Trump hints at health issues
216·2 days agoTrump:
“If people get sick in the audience, they leave them alone. You know what they call them? Collateral damage,” He then pointed out someone in the crowd. "If that person right over there, he looks like s— actually. He looks like he’s ready to have a heart attack. " "If he actually had a heart attack, you know what my doctors would do, they would follow the president and leave him alone. “I’ve got like six ambulances and they won’t use one for anybody else.”
What a vile man.

3·3 days agoIt is extraordinarily rare, so rare that even the ultra-right wing Heritage Foundation identified only 89 cases nationally since 2000. It is 100% Magat feed and distraction from the fact POTUS is a child rapist.

Technology@lemmy.world•U.S. suspends Microsoft, Adobe from green card labor program in foreign worker crackdownEnglish
512·8 days agoI worked for a Fortune 100 company that hired lots of H-1B workers. The company loved them not only because they settled for less money, but because they worked ridiculous hours and could not easily change jobs. Those H-1B workers created big problems for American employees.
H-1B employees did not have family in the US, did not have a social life, and routinely worked 100 hours a week. Most American employees had wives, children, relatives and outside activities, and could not and would not work those kinds of hours. 60-70 hours a week was typical.
When H-1B employees work
30%-40%43%-67% more hours their work production will almost always exceed that of their American counterparts, and that’s exactly what happened.When peer-ranking and reviews were done the H1-B employees exceeded the raw metrics of their American counterparts and ranked higher. It was common for Americans to be forced out because they refused to work 100 hours a week and management did not give a damn about their quality of life.
There may be situations where companies use the H1-B program because they cannot find employees with the right skill sets, but I saw none of those. Instead the program was used to source people one step up from indentured servants.

politics @lemmy.world•Alito calls same-sex marriage a 'decisive' turn 'against religious liberty' in new book
6·11 days agoAlito doesn’t want religious liberty, he wants religious tyranny. The U.S. is not a theocracy, at least not yet, and it is horrifying this clergyman is in the highest level of power.
Wikipedia:
Religious abuse is abuse administered through religion, including harassment, humiliation, spiritual abuse, or religious violence. Religious abuse may also include the misuse of religion for selfish, secular, or ideological ends, such as the abuse of a clerical position.

23·12 days agoRight. My “agenda” is simple. I would prefer an EV, but when in the middle of bumfuck Nevada with no cell service when it’s 110F out, I don’t want a car that can only be fixed at a dealer and that may require a 3 week wait for parts.

The GM’s EV reliability is terrible. BMW, Lexus and Tesla are much better, but not looking for a luxury vehicle or a Tesla.
