Yeah, those American workers get kind of pissed when they get handed a 1099 at the end of the year and owe Taxes, Social Security/Medicare, and fees. A US citizen gets injured & starts to seek benefits because of it the state or feds probably likely to review if they are not just classifying employees as contractors.

Adubya@programming.devto Enough Musk Spam@lemmy.world•Elon Musk suggests creating a new political party amid Trump riftEnglish26·10 months agoI’m fine with Musk splitting the Republican/Conservative/Libertarian vote up further.
Adubya@programming.devto Open Source@lemmy.ml•Looking for community management platform.English5·10 months agoI like the Nextcloud suggestion.
Still if you’re open to hosting or can find hosting service, then Odoo Community could work. It’s a ERP/CRM suite with several useful modules, including:
- Discuss (Slack-like messaging with file attachments)
- Calendar, To-Do, and Project for task management
- Website & eLearning modules for additional functionality
Its unfortunate that some modules & features are withheld for selling people on Enterprise. Could be soltuion to look into but is proably overkill. Similar to Odoo, ERPNext doesn’t do feature lockout but I don’t know if they have similar modules or not.
Adubya@programming.devtoUSpolitics@lemmy.world•Episcopal Church refuses to resettle white Afrikaners, citing moral opposition3·11 months agoThe Church had been in the US Refugee Resettlement program under the State Dept with l2-13 other faith based groups. Trump stopped all assistance and funding after taking office. These groups have been self-funding the program but from the US side its been shuttered.
Then Trump admin demanded that the Episcopal Church’s org because they received federal grant money will have to accept these admin described “apartheid” victims when the Church was involved with helping to challenge the real actual apartheid government.
The Church finds that insulting and also working with the refugees the Trump admin abandoned. This state program has helped with refugees from across the globe including the Episcopal Church.
This is the discourse that should be going on. Keep up the work and like the insight.
Adubya@programming.devto Political Memes@lemmy.world•Mark my words: they will put Kamala 2.0. or Gavin in the race for president instead of AOC or any other progressive.4·1 year agoHave you considered just having like a local group organized around something like pro-labor or just the community in general.
Elect officers or organize how you think best. Call meeting invite guess to speak to issues you all like. When elections come around try to solicit questions to all the campaigns. Have the organization vote as a group on who to endorse or not at all.
If it’s worth the effort, work the campaigns for the folks you all endorse.
More people did that stuff then starting a third party in state would be easy. From there you go forward. If you do well or brand then you may have others in their region wanting to do the same. National two parties are federations of these groups with more binding Charters.
Many States have these hurdles for recognized political parties but they can’t stop folks from just organizing how they want.
Maybe not voting hurts the chances of not having more proponents in government. Think we found the problem.

What are you a tomato or Avocado grower. I was fine with selling my Wheat to Mexico. I don’t see why orange moron should steal from my business to line his and Tim Apple’s pockets.
They sat out the election so they could do this instead.
Destroy the country to “own the libs”. What a world and they wanted this so they can make memes instead of trying to do anything.
It took me a lot of fits and starts to finally make the switch to Linux. The Fediverse was a little different, but it was the same kind of thing—I just decided I had to make the jump.
My current VPN is helping by blocking Reddit, and honestly, that’s been a big help in keeping me here. It forces me to come here instead, which I probably needed. I still have some roles with local groups that keep me tied to Facebook, but I’m working on changing that.
I know it’s often joked about, but the command line is genuinely fun. I enjoy discovering games, apps, and commands that I actually like using. With the great desktop environments available, it doesn’t feel forced—but if you’re curious, there’s so much out there to explore.

Still Firefox is an option if you Adjust Built-in Privacy Settings & tweak some settings or go with one of its forks with that done already for the time being.
Beyond that we are at the whims. Upside maybe Europe will help accelerate some projects.

Adubya@programming.devtoMicroblog Memes@lemmy.world•34,000! Largest rally that Bernie or AOC have ever hadEnglish4·1 year agoDoes she mean Democratic National Convention or Democratic National Committee the later being the common thing referred to as DNC?
The National Convention is almost five thousand delegates with a plus one or two. Its not exactly a rally its the body that confirms or votes for the party’s Prez candidate. They have guest, speakers, other elected Democrats(who aren’t delegates), and invite the Press.
Watching it here in a bit tonight. I’m ready but not ready for the season to end.
