  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

"Social Security employees should be focused on mission-critical work and serving the American people," the spokesperson said. "Therefore, we implemented additional restrictions to the categories of websites prohibited from government-furnished equipment, including online shopping, general news, and sports. Employees may request an exception if they have a business need for job-specific duties."

Social Security Administration bars employees from reading the news at work

The Social Security Administration wrote in an email Thursday morning that employees can no longer read news websites on work devices.

This is not an attack on democracy. SS employees can read the news outside of work.

They need to first show up for work and then work on Social Security business. Many recipients in the past have had to wait a long time just to get questions answered.

As I noted elsewhere, newspapers are where SS goes to find evidence of fraud, by checking obituaries against the people on its rolls.

The new guidance will further limit the beleaguered staff’s ability to do their jobs, one SSA employee warned, because news sites — especially obituaries — are key sources staff rely on to prevent fraud.

Now that the Social Security staffing is being cut, the wait times will vanish because the remaining workers won’t be lallygagging around the water-cooler sharing hints to the daily Wordle!
So much winning!

What? Do they even know that they are supposed to show up? They've been told they were fired, but not really and tell me what you're doing everyday so we can fire you again. I'm sure it's the news that's distracting them from being focused.
