Weird idea to stop #waste, #fraud, and, #abuse of #taxpayer #money.

If a #corporation's #employees qualify for #government #assistance, the corporation is required to #reimburse the assistance #program for #benefits disbursed, plus an additional percentage to cover the #cost of overhead and collection of money owed.

This would apply to employees working 30+ hours/week or who work any number of hours while holding multiple jobs.

I love my neighbors, but my #tax dollars should not be subsidizing #corporate #profit.

This is an interesting article. Why? Because it goes beyond the normalized threadbare reporting we are subjected to from main stream media. And because the information imparted by the article is so… *refreshing* ?… due to its structure (the way it is written) and the information it reveals, both of which entice the reader to pay attention while reducing the temptation to *skim* the article — *skim reading* is a pathology thrust upon readers of social media platforms, it is highly infectious and to date there are no remedies (but maybe this article and the type of *journalism* it champions is the antidote).

The article **explains** (wooaah, that’s bold and inovative) that the #TomagoSmelter bail out isn’t, in fact, a run-of-the-mill govt *bail out*.

“…there is every chance that this arrangement will be cost-neutral over the decade, while at the same time turbocharging the energy transition and economic diversification of Australia’s most prominent industrial region.” That is the exiting part.

But there is a dependency and #RioTinto needs to stick to the commitment for a decade at least. “ For its part, Tomago has committed to investing a minimum of $1.1 billion in reducing energy usage and switching to renewables. Not only will closure be avoided, but there will be a value-add to the region.”

And that #Corporation has a track record : https://www.accr.org.au/news/rio-tinto-climate-hypocrisy-accr-to-disengage-following-revelation-of-lobbying-the-prime-minister-on-climate-trigger/

If it all works out as planned, this public funding/investment (not a bail out as such) will benefit all parties including the #HunterRegions and support the transition to #Renewables energy.

About using AI to find bugs in software, it's likely to cause a 'running to stay in place' situation. If everyone (companies, governments, criminals, etc) has the same new tool, the capabilities of that tool just become the new baseline for everyone.

#Bipartisan even! #DoublePlusUngood!

Congress Is Considering Abolishing Your Right to Be #Anonymous Online

The bipartisan push to remove #anonymity from the #Internet is ushering in an era of unprecedented #MassSurveillance and #censorship.

Taylor Lorenz
March 5 2026, 12:20 p.m.

"In August 2024, the Biden administration hosted hundreds of influencers at the White House for the first-ever Creator Economy Conference. Neera Tanden, a senior Biden adviser, took to the stage and bemoaned anonymity online. The influencers alongside her agreed, pushing the idea that anonymous speech on the internet is harmful, and regulation is needed to force the use of real names on social media. The audience whispered excitedly as those on stage spoke about how proposed laws like the #kidsonlinesafetyact or #KOSA, could unmask every troll.

"This narrative of online safety, particularly in relation to children, has become central to the bipartisan effort to #censor and #deanonymize the internet for everyone. Today, a package of a dozen 'child online safety' bills is moving forward in the House of Representatives with bipartisan support. The laws, framed as a way to crack down on harmful content and make the internet safer, would force social media companies to enact invasive identity verification measures in order to keep children from accessing online spaces.

"The problem is that there’s no way to reliably verify someone’s age without verifying who they are. A platform cannot magically discern that a user is 16 without collecting identifying information, whether through government documents such as a passport, payment information like a credit card, or other identity-disclosing data. Whether that data is stored by the platform itself or outsourced to a vendor, the result is always the same: A user’s offline identity is forever linked with their online behavior.

"Stripping anonymity from the internet would constitute one of the most sweeping rollbacks of civil rights in recent history. It would allow for unprecedented levels of mass surveillance and censorship, endangering the most marginalized members of society. #Whistleblowers exposing #corporate wrongdoing could be tracked and fired, #GovernmentEmployees speaking out about illegal behavior or bad policies could face prosecution, and #activists #OrganizingProtests could be identified and surveilled before ever setting foot on the street.

"Already, the U.S. government is flooding social media platforms with subpoenas seeking to unmask hundreds of anonymously run #AntiICE social media accounts. These laws would make it all the more easier for the government to target and prosecute those who dissent.
Vulnerable members of society will suffer most. #TransPeople under attack from the government could be identified and outed without their consent.

"Undocumented #immigrants could be cut off from the ability to communicate and connect with advocates. Young people seeking #abortions in states with restrictive laws might no longer have the ability to access information safely and anonymously.

"Not only will a de-anonymized internet be valuable to the government as it seeks to tighten control, it will also make it easier for any #corporation or bad actor to intimidate, #blackmail, or exploit people by leveraging their own data against them."
