  2. Insurance Companies Would Deny Oxygen If They Could Bill Extra for Breathing

    I swear the modern health insurance industry was designed by a committee of sleep-deprived raccoons fighting over a fax machine in 1994. Nothing else explains the process. My wife needed an elective surgery. Not some spur-of-the-moment luxury upgrade like adding flames to a Pontiac Sunfire. Actual surgery. Doctor recommended it. Specialists signed off. Pre-op appointments scheduled. Tests done. Bloodwork. Imaging. Paperwork stacked high enough to stop a home invasion. And every single step […]

  4. Google handed over a trove of personal data
    about a student and journalist to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement
    in response to a subpoena that had not been approved by a judge, according to a report by The Intercept. 

    The search and advertising tech giant provided ICE with the usernames, physical addresses, and an itemized list of services associated with the Google account of Amandla Thomas-Johnson,
    a British student and journalist who briefly attended a pro-Palestinian protest in 2024 while attending Cornell University in New York. 

    Google also turned over Thomas-Johnson’s IP addresses, phone numbers, subscriber numbers and identities, and credit card and bank account numbers linked to his account. 

    The subpoena, which reportedly included a gag order, did not include a specific justification for why ICE was requesting Thomas-Johnson’s personal data,
    but the student previously said that the demand for his data came within two hours of Cornell informing him that the U.S. government had revoked his student visa. 

    This is the latest example of how the U.S. government is using a controversial type of legal request, called an #administrative #subpoena, to demand that tech companies turn over the private data of individuals who have been critical of the Trump administration.

    This has included anonymous Instagram accounts that share information about ICE presence and raids,
    as well as people who criticize or protest Trump and his policies.

  7. Hype for the Future 59A: What is a Maine Plantation

    Introduction Though New England has used the term “plantation” for a pre-town settlement since at least the early settlements in modern Massachusetts, the term has fallen out of common use in Southern New England, including Rhode Island, centuries in the past, with “Providence Plantations” becoming a name referring to Rhode Island history. Though the confusion of “plantations” with slavery and slave labor has resulted in the shortening of the name of the State of Rhode Island, […]

  15. This is a story of a #monopoly. It is also a story of #government #licensing, and #accessibility. There’s a bit of #MLM, but not the usual kind.

    I am seeking employment as an #administrative #professional (#administrativeAssistant, #executiveAssistant, basically, #administrativeSupport). I was on a #contract with a #BigTech company, and the program I was supporting is sundowning, so about two-thirds of us were let go at the end of the fiscal year.

    I’ve been applying to many places, some of which turned out to be #scams (any company with the word “travel”, “adventure”, or “vacation” in their name, and who claims to be looking for administrative anything is a scam. Ten times out of ten).

    I also managed to apply to an insurance … organization. They are agents selling policies from a specific #BigInsurance, only through “agencies” (and sub-agencies - they unfortunately invited prospects (including me) to join their "huddles" on Zoom and I'm observant) and they are looking for prospects in specific regions of the #USA and #Canada.

    This costs money, as this is a profession where you need a #license. The investment was reasonable, $49 for #training, another $49 for the #test, and another $50 for the license application, plus $45ish for #fingerprinting. Even if I choose not to work for the people who recruited me, credentials tend to be useful in some way.

    I paid for the training on 04 Nov, paid for the test on 12 Nov (scheduled for 26 Nov), did the fingerprinting on 16 Nov. Also on 12 Nov, I tried to initiate the #accommodations process with the testing company, (the above-mentioned monopoly) Pearson VUE.

    To apply for accommodations, the test-taker is asked to create an additional account on the accommodations portal. The final step of this process is to follow the steps in a “verification email” that may take up to fifteen minutes to be sent.

    I /never/ received this email. Thus, I was never able to verify my account, or move forward in the process. After several telephone calls, I was provided an email address for the accessibility team.

    On 21 Nov, I emailed the Pearson Accessibility team with a detailed, step-by-step, description of what I was doing, what I was seeing, and the fact that their system never provided me that verification email. Of course, since I’d already created the account, I was attempting to use the “Resend verification email” link (it runs a script). I included ten marked-up screenshots, and asked for a Read #Receipt.

    I actually got a reply. However, the reply was “you actually sent this to the wrong place.” It also stated that Pearson VUE did /not/ manage accommodations requests, that was done by the entity who owned the test.

    I replied to that email, copy-pasted the email with the steps, attached the screenshots, and asked for another Read Receipt. In that email, I said, “This should be a simple process. I have invested hours of my time in documenting the behavior I am seeing because no one at Pearson VUE accepts my word that I'm following the procedure and it is not working. This will also cost me money to extend my access to training materials until I'm able to test.”

    This got a reply where I was informed my account had been locked due to “too many attempts.” On 22 November, I was able to actually log into the portal and get the information I needed to request the appropriate document from my #VocRehab counselor. I sent an email to both my counselor and her assistant, including the #IDC codes corresponding to my current situation (I’ve been an administrative pro long enough to know that the easier the request, the quicker it’s completed).

    I received a request on 02 December to complete a DocuSign granting permission for my counselor to share the info with Pearson. Pearson’s website says the process can take “up to ten days,” so I scheduled my test for Friday, 20 Dec, figuring that would work.

    On 13 Dec, Pearson notified my counselor that my request had been accepted, and the email included specific instructions for scheduling. The only option is to call a specific phone number. And they aren’t open on the weekend.

    On Monday, 16 Dec, when I called, I was on hold “for the next available…” for 40 minutes. When I was finally able to speak to someone, they asked me to verify absolutely every bit of personal data they have on me. Then, I was told I would have to schedule the test at a Pearson Testing Center (there are several local ones). The first center, the one closest to me, did not have any openings until February. The next-closest had an availability for noon on January 17. I was put on hold while the agent tried to request that time. The call dropped.

    Another 45 minutes waiting for an agent, and, again, I had to verify all the data. This time, after three “brief” holds of 5+ minutes, I was told the request was pending, and that I would receive a call.

    I did receive a call on Thursday, 19 Dec, but my caller ID said it was from “State of California.” Which is /not/ Pearson, so I sent it to voicemail. The voicemail said I had to confirm that I wanted that time “within two business days” and I called back. After another long wait time, the agent said they needed to reach out to “that department” and after even more hold times, I was told that “Marcus” would call me back /that day/.

    Of course he did not. I called back Friday morning, and, again, long hold times, and give the agent all the information. And “Marcus” wasn’t going to be in for twenty minutes (it was 9:40 CST, so, aha! he’s on PST). I called back at about 3:00 pm PST (5:00 pm my time). I used to support folks in all five time zones in the contiguous 48, so this is second nature). After another 45 minutes and stuff, the agent said that time was no longer available.

    I followed all their steps and procedures. Apparently, the accommodations department at Pearson VUE is dependent on one person, Marcus. I should have been able to take this test by now. Nowhere on the website does it say that test takers requesting accommodations should NOT schedule online. I even deliberately scheduled to test at a local college because I /know/ they have the capability to provide the accommodations I need.

    The really stupid part of this is all that time on hold and all that time documenting the misbehavior of their system.

    I was promised a call on Monday, 23 Dec. Of course, I'm calling them.

    Just another point for those who dont understand the difference between the #Republicans and the #Democrats.

  21. America’s Richest Men Ask the Courts to Make Unions Illegal

    Fourscore and seven years ago
    —1937, to be exact—
    our fathers on the Supreme Court (well, five of them, which was just enough) brought forth a new nation:
    #New #Deal America.

    In that year, the justices ruled that the most fundamental legislative works of Franklin Roosevelt’s presidency
    —Social Security and the National Labor Relations Act ( #NLRA )
    —were constitutional.

    So said the Court; so said, in the NLRA case, Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes, the decision’s author, who had been the Republican candidate for president in 1916.
    From these decisions, which 🔸saved seniors from destitution 🔸and 💥enabled workers to form unions, 💥a broadly shared #prosperity emerged that gave the nation a middle-class majority for the three decades after World War II.

    Now we are engaged in a war with the rulers of the new economy, who, having already downsized that middle class by appropriating an ever larger share of the proceeds from its work for themselves, actually want to strike down the NLRA.
    In the past few weeks, three pillars of that economy
    —Elon Musk’s #SpaceX, Jeff Bezos’s #Amazon, and the Albrecht family’s #TraderJoe's
    —have all asked federal courts to declare the core functions of the NLRA #unconstitutional, on the grounds that the National Labor Relations Board’s (NLRB) #administrative #courts, 🔹like those of other regulatory agencies, 🔹mix judicial functions with executive branch functions.

    In actual practice, what those bodies do is hear and rule on cases such as those brought by workers on organizing campaigns who’ve been illegally fired.
    What Elon and Jeff would prefer is that federal courts hear such cases directly, which guarantees that
    👉by the time they reach the bench, those organizing campaigns will have become a dim memory

  23. If you're doing a gig with a #French #university, never ever pay something yourself if it should be reimbursed. Insist that they take care of everything *before* going, and that they pay everything in advance.

    The aftermath of not doing that is a wholly inextricable mess of #bureaucratic and #administrative circonvolutions....

    They stifle, restrict, limit, and their very way of order is part Orwellian, part #Kafkaesque.

    My solution:
    1. All #administrative staff report to a '#producer' for annual assessment, i.e. a #teacher, #doctor, salesman, brickie, cashier, technologist.
    2. Any admin more than two roles away from a producer: #sacked & offered retraining.

For me, the essence of the self-sovereign system - is the untakable right to make a statement on behalf of yourself. Every member has equal possibilities and rights. You could simultaneously be an asset owner, issuer authority, or verification party. it is a gamechanger
