#hr federal regulations

Dozens of Consumer Finance Protection Bureau employees were terminated on Tuesday evening, sources tell WIRED.

The cuts largely targeted contractors and so-called probationary employees, workers who have served less than two years at the agency. Sources tell WIRED that the CFPB’s enforcement division was hit hard, but it’s unclear how many employees were let go.

Workers were informed that they had been fired with a frenetic email delivered around 9pm ET on Tuesday night. An evidently failed mail merge meant that some affected employees were addressed as [EmployeeFirstName][EmployeeLastName], [Job Title], [Division].

“This is to provide notification that I am removing you from your position of [Job Title] and federal service consistent with the above references,” the email from acting chief human capital officer Adam Martinez says. “Unfortunately, the Agency finds that that [sic] you are not fit for continued employment because your ability, knowledge and skills do not fit the Agency’s current needs.”

The firings follow a tumultuous few days at CFPB. On Friday, staff for Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency shut down a portion of the agency’s homepage after a day of struggling to obtain access to the CMS and other systems. WIRED reported last week that three DOGE staffers, including Gavin Kliger and Nikhil Rajpal were given access to CFPB’s HR, procurement, and financial infrastructure. The DOGE workers were later granted access to all of the agency’s systems on Friday, Bloomberg reported this week, including bank examination and enforcement records.

Later on Friday evening, Russell Vought—Trump’s newly confirmed director of the Office of Management and Budget—took over as the acting administrator for CFPB late Friday evening, as first reported by The Wall Street Journal. Soon after, DOGE staff began sending out email requests asking CFPB managers to give Kliger additional access to agency systems, including physical access control system, payroll processing systems, and the ability to edit the CFPB’s website, sources tell WIRED.

Just before 10:30pm ET on Friday, sources say someone who appeared to have administrative privileges, accessed the agency server using Secure Shell (SSH), a protocol that allows remote control of a computer over a network. Bypassing the content management system, they [unpublished] the homepage file, causing a portion of the CFPB homepage to display a “404: Page not found”, notice typical of a website that has been deleted or is otherwise missing. The remainder of the site was functional, including submission forms for industry whistleblowers and consumer complaints.

Around 11pm on Friday, the CFPB’s X account disappeared and shortly after, according to a CFPB staffer, DOGE left the building.

CFPB sources who spoke to WIRED described being blindsided by the DOGE staffers. "They said they would follow protocol but repeatedly did not," one says, noting that the level of access these staffers have could allow them to lock others out of the building, take down the website, and “obstruct the bureau’s ability to carry out its mandate.”

One source at CFPB on Friday says they saw two young DOGE staffers wandering through the halls of the building trying to open doors.

“DOGE pulled a Darth Vader in cloud city where they came in promising to respect our rules and ask for read access and then tonight [Friday] at 6 they took a heel turn and demanded website access,” another CFPB source told WIRED at the time.

In a pair of emails sent Saturday and Monday, Vought effectively ordered all work at the agency to stop, freezing various enforcement efforts and work on regulations that would affect payment programs run by Big Tech companies.

The CFPB has long been a target of both Elon Musk and conservatives more broadly; the Project 2025 chapter on financial regulatory agencies describes it as “a highly politicized, damaging, and utterly unaccountable federal agency” and calls to have it abolished. Musk wrote “RIP CFPB” with a gravestone emoji in an X post Friday afternoon. Last November, he posted “Delete CFPB.” There are around 1,700 employees in total at the agency.

The CFPB was established by the 2010 Dodd-Frank Act, a sweeping piece of legislation that imposed significant regulatory reform in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis. Its remit is to protect consumers from unfair or deceptive financial practices, and the agency claims to be responsible for $19.7 billion in consumer relief since its inception, as well as $5 billion in civil penalties.

Some of those wins have come against payment processors including Block, which was ordered to pay a total of $175 million in penalties last month for allegedly failing to sufficiently protect users of its Cash App from fraud. CFPB also has an active lawsuit against JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, and Wells Fargo for similar alleged failures on their shared payment app Zelle. Elon Musk will soon be in the peer-to-peer payments business as well, after X entered a partnership with Visa in late January.

Trump's Hiring Freeze: A Reckless Blow to California's Firefighting and Federal Services

President Donald Trump’s recent hiring freeze is a glaring example of short-sighted governance that sacrifices critical federal services and public safety for the sake of political theater. California, already grappling with severe wildland fire risks and a growing population, stands to suffer disproportionately under this ill-conceived executive order.

Wildland Firefighting in Peril The timing of Trump’s freeze couldn’t be worse for California’s wildland firefighting efforts. With 35% of federal firefighting positions already vacant due to low pay and limited career opportunities, the freeze exacerbates an existing crisis. The seasonal hiring process for firefighters is complex and time-sensitive. By halting the recruitment of HR officials and hiring managers—those who grease the wheels of this critical system—Trump has effectively sabotaged the federal government’s ability to respond to emergencies.

Wildfires don’t wait for bureaucracy, and neither should the leaders responsible for protecting lives and property. Trump’s blanket freeze undermines the very workforce tasked with defending our communities from natural disasters, jeopardizing the 2025 fire season before it even begins.

Collateral Damage Across Federal Services The harm from Trump’s freeze extends far beyond firefighting. California relies on federal employees for essential services, from staffing national parks to enforcing labor standards, conducting environmental inspections, and supporting veterans. With more than 147,000 federal civilian employees in the state, any disruption in staffing threatens the efficiency and effectiveness of these operations.

This freeze will not improve government efficiency; it will create chaos. Key roles left unfilled will leave federal programs limping along, unable to meet the needs of the public. The impact on California’s national parks, agriculture, and environmental oversight will be particularly severe, undermining efforts to protect the state’s natural resources and public health.

A Thinly Veiled Political Agenda The exemptions in Trump’s freeze reveal his administration’s true priorities. By sparing immigration enforcement and border security roles while freezing positions in environmental regulation and emergency services, Trump is weaponizing federal staffing to serve his divisive agenda. This is not about improving government efficiency—it’s about defunding and dismantling programs that don’t align with his political goals, no matter the cost to public safety or well-being.

A Call for Responsible Leadership This hiring freeze is a reckless and dangerous policy that puts lives, livelihoods, and essential services at risk. California needs strong leadership that prioritizes public safety, environmental stewardship, and the well-being of its residents—not cynical maneuvers that sow chaos and erode trust in government.

President Trump’s approach to governance is not only inefficient but deeply irresponsible. It’s time for leaders in Congress, state governments, and advocacy groups to stand up against these shortsighted policies and demand a federal government that works for all Americans—not just those who align with a narrow political agenda.

i never realized that average minimum wage was 7.25/hr…. nys has spoiled me with 15/hr

That’s the federal regulation, certain states and businesses have their own laws that they have to adhere to which is why more expensive states like ny and ca pay $15-16/hour.

[yourtoradorasextendedwarranty]

More proof that Austin Dems can't not lie. So I looked into the bill this headline is based on.

And it's a bald faced lie. The bill, HB2127 featured before really only does one thing. Force regulatory standards across the state. Rather than city to city when it comes to a number of different things. Meaning Austin can't do whatever TF it wants whenever it wants. However there are state and national regulations they demand and require breaks. It's ever 2hrs for a 6 hr shift or longer and a required hr lunch at/after 8 hrs I believe.

The text does not in any way say, "we're removing the ability of people to take breaks" and no law Texas has passed has changed prior laws requiring breaks.

Boost Your Payroll Efficiency with Free Payroll Check Stubs

Efficient payroll management is crucial for any business, especially as it directly impacts employee satisfaction, accuracy in accounting, and the overall productivity of administrative teams. But what if you could streamline this process using free payroll check stubs? For small businesses, startups, and even established companies, free payroll check stubs offer a no-cost solution to help enhance payroll accuracy, reduce errors, and save time.

Here’s how you can leverage free payroll check stubs to boost your payroll efficiency without breaking the bank.

1. Why Payroll Efficiency Matters

Payroll processing is more than just a routine administrative task; it’s an integral part of your business operations. Timely and accurate payroll boosts employee morale and trust in the company. Additionally, a streamlined payroll system minimizes the chances of costly mistakes, ensuring compliance with federal and state regulations and protecting the company from penalties. Efficient payroll processes also save time for your HR and accounting teams, allowing them to focus on other crucial aspects of the business.

However, the process of calculating hours worked, tax deductions, and other variables can be complex. This is where free payroll check stubs come in as a powerful tool. They simplify payroll tasks, reduce manual errors, and provide a professional look for your business without any added cost.

2. What Are Payroll Check Stubs?

Payroll check stubs, also known as pay stubs, are essential documents that provide employees with a detailed breakdown of their earnings for a particular pay period. A typical pay stub includes:

Gross wages: Total earnings before deductions.

Net pay: Earnings after deductions, including taxes and other withholdings.

Tax deductions: Federal, state, and local taxes withheld.

Other deductions: Healthcare, retirement plans, or other benefits.

Year-to-date (YTD) totals: Accumulated earnings and deductions up to the current pay period.

For businesses, pay stubs serve as a record for tax purposes, payroll audits, and employee inquiries. For employees, these documents provide transparency and insight into their earnings, taxes, and other deductions.

3. Benefits of Free Payroll Check Stubs

Using free payroll check stubs offers a wide range of benefits that can help businesses streamline payroll processes and improve efficiency.

Cost Savings

The most obvious benefit of free payroll check stubs is the cost savings. Instead of investing in payroll software or paying for check stub generation, you can access reliable, free solutions. This is especially beneficial for small businesses that may not have the budget for costly payroll services.

Time Efficiency

Free payroll check stub generators are often designed to be simple and user-friendly, enabling you to create pay stubs in just a few clicks. By reducing the time needed to generate check stubs manually, you free up time for HR and payroll staff to focus on other strategic tasks.

Error Reduction

Manual payroll calculations are prone to errors, especially when factoring in varying work hours, overtime, and deductions. Free payroll check stub tools often come with built-in calculators that automatically compute wages and deductions, minimizing the risk of human error and improving accuracy.

Record Keeping and Compliance

Generating payroll check stubs ensures you have a digital or physical record of all payments made to employees, which is crucial for compliance with labor laws and tax reporting. If you’re audited or need to reference payroll information for tax purposes, having clear, organized records will save you time and prevent headaches.

Professional Presentation

Even if you’re running a small business, it’s essential to maintain professionalism in all areas, including payroll. Providing your employees with professional-looking check stubs instills confidence and enhances your brand image. It shows your employees that you value transparency and are committed to high standards in every aspect of your business.

4. How to Create Free Payroll Check Stubs

There are several online tools available that allow you to create payroll check stubs for free. Here’s a general step-by-step guide:

Step 1: Choose a Reputable Payroll Stub Generator

Begin by selecting a free check stub generator. Look for reputable websites that offer customizable templates. You’ll want a tool that provides a clear, professional format and allows you to input all necessary payroll information.

Step 2: Input Employee Information

Enter basic details for each employee, such as their name, employee ID, and address. This information is crucial for accurate record-keeping.

Step 3: Input Earnings and Deductions

The next step is to enter gross earnings, any applicable tax deductions, other withholdings (such as retirement or healthcare), and net pay. Most free check stub generators have fields for these entries and will automatically calculate totals for you.

Step 4: Review for Accuracy

Always double-check the information to ensure accuracy. Errors on pay stubs can lead to confusion, dissatisfaction, and may require time-consuming corrections. Ensure all figures are correct, including deductions and net pay.

Step 5: Download and Distribute

Once the check stub is generated, you can download it as a PDF or print it. Many companies provide digital copies directly to employees, but some still opt for physical copies for those who prefer them.

5. Choosing the Right Free Payroll Check Stub Tool

With so many free payroll check stub tools available online, it’s essential to choose the right one. Here are some key features to look for:

Customization Options: Look for tools that allow you to customize fields according to your payroll needs.

Automatic Calculations: Choose tools with built-in calculators for automatic deductions and net pay calculations.

Security: Ensure the tool uses secure data encryption to protect sensitive employee information.

Format and Design: Opt for a tool with a clean, professional design, as the final product reflects your company’s image.

Reviews and Reputation: Research user reviews to confirm the tool’s reliability and accuracy.

Some popular free options include PayStubs, Stub Creator, and Check Stub Maker. These tools provide customizable templates and user-friendly interfaces that make it easy to generate accurate, professional payroll check stubs at no cost.

6. Integrating Payroll Check Stubs into Your Payroll Process

To fully reap the benefits of payroll check stubs, it’s important to integrate them smoothly into your overall payroll process. Here are some tips to optimize the process:

Set a Schedule: Establish a consistent schedule for generating and distributing payroll check stubs. Whether you pay weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly, consistency reduces confusion and builds trust with your employees.

Automate Where Possible: If your business has a small team, you may handle payroll manually. But if you have more employees, consider automating the payroll process. Many payroll systems integrate with free check stub generators, saving even more time.

Encourage Employee Access to Digital Stubs: In today’s digital world, providing employees with digital access to their payroll information improves efficiency and reduces paper waste.

Train HR Staff: Make sure your HR and payroll staff understand the process and tools available. Training ensures smooth implementation and consistent results.

7. Addressing Employee Concerns

Some employees may have questions about their pay stubs or deductions, especially if they’re new to the company or if there’s a change in payroll structure. Encourage open communication by offering to explain any details on their pay stubs, such as tax withholdings, overtime calculations, and benefits deductions. Providing a resource (such as an FAQ or quick guide) can also help address common questions and alleviate concerns.

Conclusion

Free payroll check stubs can be a game-changer for businesses seeking to improve payroll efficiency without a hefty price tag. These tools streamline the payroll process, reduce errors, and save valuable time for your HR and accounting teams. By implementing free check stubs, you’re not only saving costs but also ensuring a professional, accurate, and transparent payroll experience for your employees.

Dave Zirin's article slandering Title IX lawyer Nancy Hogshead Makar:

Rightists have a genocidal perspective on trans kids. Now they want the federal government to use Title IX to further push trans young people from public life.

One Olympic gold medalist who supports a trans bans and has written upon it extensively has been the swimmer Nancy Hogshead-Makar and her organization Champion Women. As Dr. Johanna Mellis, cohost of the End of Sports Pod tweeted to me (and I reprint with permission): “Enraging how several cishet [cisgender, heterosexual] white women like NHM [Nancy Hogshead–Makar] who ostensibly vote Dem and believe in abortion rights are trans panic-ers and boosting their platform off such bigotry.”

I guarantee that these very forces will at some point call for Title IX to be thrown out. No one connected to women’s athletics should give them one droplet of credibility. They should be aghast to see Title IX, some of the most important legislation for gender equality ever produced by this country, used as a cudgel to keep trans kids off the playing field. They should call that what it is: an obscenity. Either Title IX is a shining example of inclusion or it is not. For it to be used months after its 50th anniversary as a tool for bigots is the true perversion in this story.

The anti-trans feminists of the sports world say that their support is only for this bill and that they aren’t part of the larger movement of exclusion backed by street violence being whipped up against trans people. This is a cheesecloth-thin cover for the reality of what this legislation represents. HR 734 is a not-subtle way of saying that trans people have no place in public life. Not surprisingly, the same GOP rallying in lockstep behind this bill is also pushing Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene’s (R-Ga.) “Protect Children’s Innocence Act,” which would make it a felony for doctors to provide gender-affirming health care to transgender minors. That is also going to be taken up this week. The GOP establishment is all in. The bills are strongly supported by the Conservative Political Action Conference and its leader, Matt Schlapp, who is accused of sexually assaulting a male staffer. At CPAC over the weekend, Michael Knowles, a GOP yipping head, called for the “eradication of transgenderism,” only to threaten lawsuits against people who accurately described his speech as violent and even genocidal. As a Jew, if someone at CPAC—perhaps next year—called for the “eradication of Judaism” and then explained it by saying, “We just meant Judaism, not Jews,” my mind would not be put at ease. And not surprisingly, there has been no condemnation of these statements either by CPAC or anyone who claims to be pro-trans in every area except for sports.

Nancy Hogshead-Makar's response to Dave Zirin's sorry excuse for journalism:

I. am. pissed. I know Dave Zirin. I've been on his podcast and he has my contact info, including being connected here on Twitter. Yet he uses me to make this ridiculous argument that pro-female bills that put up appropriate boundaries around our sport categories are "anti-trans" ... and that I'm part of an effort to eliminate Title IX. You have lost your mind.

Tell me Dave, how many times must I repeat that I want transgender people to have great lives, in employment, in classrooms, in living their best lives... but that there are a few places where biology matters. I've said it on CBS Sunday Morning, Dr. Phil, USA TODAY, Washington Post, Daily Mail ... just to name a few. So I missed Michael Knowles ... I am a liberal democrat and do not pay attention to CPAC. That's some shitty evidence of being "anti-trans". I've repeatedly said I am supportive of the Bostock Supreme Court decision, (businesses cannot discriminate based on sexual orientation or gender identity or gender non-conformity) of the Obama regulations that required schools to not discriminate against trans students, but did not allow males in female sports.

Tell me Dave, you know my story of being way out front addressing sexual abuse in Olympic sport, and what it cost me. Was I doing it to "boost my platform" then?

Tell me Dave, as survivor of a violent rape followed by horrific PTSD, should I have to get changed in front of a male, however they identify? If you think I should "be kind" – fuck you.

Should I teach my 17 year old daughters that they should suppress their inner-voice of danger when they see males in our changing rooms?

If so, you're a misogynist, a woman-hater... someone who isn't allowing women to have their own boundaries, to be safe, to have our own spaces, our own sports, our own ability to shine and be recognized for what we do. We say "NO."

Biology matters in very few places, and where it matters it is absolute. There is no other way to chop up a person to give females half the opportunities to win. Males do not have the right to compete in OUR sport categories.

And I'm beyond offended that you wouldn't contact me about it.

[pagankingfinn]

I'm really proud of myself and felt the need to share.

So recently my mom got fired from her job (shift lead at a dispensary) for essentially no reason, the reason was "customer and employee complaints" that suspiciously only became a thing when the manager was on vacation.

And lemme tell yah, I was fucking PISSED. I was seething. Especially bc the company gave her a training course on bullying in the work place because they've got an "anti-bullying in the workplace" policy and I've got so much dirt on how that simply isn't true.

So the employees that complained were a group of girls who acted like they were still in a high school clique and purposefully excluded my mom from all attempts at conversation, even when it came to work related things like closing up at the end of the shift.

These same girls also couldn't function without a doobie every 15 minutes but then would get pissed when my mom would just go ahead and help customers instead of telling them to get off their asses. They went so far as to tell the manager that my mom was basically stealing their customers. They also refused to take a lunch until the mid-shift was over and leave my mom to man the shop alone, and always came back 30 minutes to an hour late, thus meaning my mom never actually got to take her lunch.

Which for the record, violates federal regulations. It is a felony to deny your employees a lunch break on a regular basis.

Did this stop her manager from "adjusting" her time card so that it looked like she was taking a lunch just so he wouldn't have to pay his employees more? No, it didn't. He'd also "adjust" time cards so that no matter how early someone came in or how late they stayed they were always only paid for 5 minutes before and after the shift.

Back to the girls who peaked in high school, they decided to get their customers to lie about my mom. The best part of this is the dispensary has security cameras inside that clearly show my mom NOT being the one to deal with those customers, but each employee also has a different pin for the register and the records also prove that my mom did not deal with those customers.

All this said and done, I went feral. I drafted an email to HR that laid out everything that had ever gone on. The bullying, the lack of lunch breaks, the time cards being messed with, the lies, everything. And then I metaphorically took a crow bar to their knees when I basically said "for a company that preaches anti-bullying in the work place you sure do protect the employees breaking these rules."

As far as I'm aware, HR hasn't responded. So now I'm going public. The moral of the story is don't go to Igadi for weed. They treat their employees like shit and won't do anything about it.

[freakystinky]

OP is being a wet sock in the comments for some bizarre reason, so since I’m U.S. based here’s a link to all the United States requirements for relicensing physicians because I think it’s an imperative resource for chronically ill and disabled people to have:

Due to individual states deciding these requirements, they’re obviously insanely varied. This impacts the way that patient care is delivered SIGNIFICANTLY, especially in physicians who have stayed in the same states and have been meeting those lower standards for many years, compounding their paucity of knowledge and lowering the quality of care their patients can receive.

Generally, 50hrs/yr is the average, with retesting every 1-4yrs, but some states such as Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana have them at 20hrs/yr or lower.

This means, that over only 8 years of practice, an MD in Washington state (50 hrs/yr) has obtained up to 304 more credit hours than an MD in Alabama (12 hrs/yr).

You’ll also notice that states with the lowest CME requirements (highlighted) also happen to make up the states with the highest maternal mortality rates…

That correlation aside, we KNOW that CE is incredibly important, and that doctors with CE have better patient outcomes. The fact that the US doesn’t have federal regulations regarding this is just plain embarrassing (source).

The system is dysfunctional and things like this are probably costing peoples lives. We need to talk more about it; the first step to improving it is creating awareness that this stuff does exist, it’s just not as effective as it should be. As patients deserve it to be.

Relicensing is already real and a requirement, what we need to do is make it functional and regulated using our votes.

I'm so extremely serious when I say doctors should be put through an extremely extensive reliscensing process every 10 years. Doctors should have their knowledge scrutinized against current medical research and be de-barred at even the tiniest discrepancy. Too many old doctors absolutely refuse to stay up to date on research and dismiss patients because of their personal experiences. Too many people die every year because doctors don't take us seriously and refuse to listen to people who KNOW something is wrong. Too many people are told their problems are nothing and come back in a year or more with serious illnesses and doctors are just like "lol everyone makes mistakes" but doctors mistakes routinely cost people their lives! I'm tired of medical malpractice being swept away under the guise of "mistakes were made."

Diversity and Inclusion (D&I) Market: Trends, Challenges, and Future Prospects - UnivDatos

According to a new report by UnivDatos, The Diversity and Inclusion (D&I) Market was valued at approximately USD 10.5 billion in 2023 and is expected to grow at a substantial CAGR of around 12.20% during the forecast period (2024-2032). The rising emphasis on concerns regarding inequality and discrimination due to movements such as #Metoo and Black Lives Matter has made organizations pay attention to D&I efforts. Further, there has been an emergence of government and regulatory body demands and expectations of D&I-related policies and mandates that entail organizations to advance D&I practices and report on them, including gender pay gap reporting and diversity disclosure. For instance, on 8 April 2024, Group CEO Kenichi Kimura, who empowers Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI), including LGBT+ inclusion, as a management strategy, joined Pride 1000 as one of the initial participants. On the Pride 1000 official website, which was released on 25 March 2024, Pride 1000 Message, Kimura has shared his ally message.

The emergence of multinational corporations and international cooperation has increased the demand for effective ways to promote equal opportunities in organizations that differ from employees’ cultures. Furthermore, government policies and society force organizations to implement D&I policies worldwide especially in Asian countries such as Japan, Australia, and Singapore having a high preference for women's employment. Another factor is the increase in the number of international technology giants and new ventures from the region looking for solutions that seek to develop inclusive cultures to foster great working environments and talent acquisition and retention. Therefore, the Asia-Pacific region is emerging as an important leader in the international D&I market.

Explain secure data sharing and use cases for cross-organization collaboration.

Secure Data Sharing and Use Cases for Cross-Organization Collaboration In today’s data-driven world, organizations frequently need to share data securely across departments, partners, vendors, and regulatory bodies. 

Secure data sharing ensures that sensitive data is protected while enabling seamless collaboration, analytics, and decision-making. 

🔐 What Is Secure Data Sharing? 

Secure data sharing refers to controlled access to data across different organizations or business units without compromising security, privacy, or compliance. 

Modern cloud platforms offer mechanisms that allow governed, permission-based sharing without physically moving or duplicating data. 

Key Features of Secure Data Sharing: 

✅ Access Control — Fine-grained permissions control who can access data.

 ✅ Encryption & Masking — Protects sensitive data in transit and at rest. 

✅ Audit Logging — Tracks who accessed what data and when. 

✅ Federated Identity Management — Ensures only authorized users access shared data. 

✅ Multi-Cloud & Hybrid Support — Enables secure sharing across different cloud providers. 🛠 Technologies for Secure Data Sharing Various platforms offer secure data-sharing features, including: 

1️⃣ Azure Synapse Analytics & Azure Data Share Azure Data Share enables organizations to share data without duplication. Synapse Analytics allows cross-team collaboration while enforcing access policies. 

2️⃣ AWS Data Exchange & Lake Formation AWS Lake Formation provides fine-grained access control for shared data lakes. AWS Data Exchange allows businesses to subscribe to third-party data securely. 

3️⃣ Snowflake Secure Data Sharing Enables real-time, zero-copy data sharing across organizations without moving data. Supports row- and column-level security for precise control. 

4️⃣ Google BigQuery Data Sharing Uses authorized views and datasets for multi-tenant collaboration. 📌 Use Cases for Cross-Organization Collaboration 

1️⃣ Enterprise Data Sharing Across Departments 

📊 Use Case: A large multinational company wants to share HR, finance, and marketing data across different departments while maintaining strict access controls. 

✅ Solution: Using Snowflake Secure Data Sharing or Azure Data Share, teams can access only the data they are authorized to see, eliminating the need for redundant data copies.

 2️⃣ Partner & Vendor Collaboration 

🔗 Use Case: A retail company wants to share real-time sales data with suppliers for demand forecasting. 

✅ Solution: AWS Lake Formation enables secure data lake sharing, allowing suppliers to access live sales trends while maintaining customer privacy through data masking. 

3️⃣ Data Monetization & Marketplace Models 💰 Use Case: A financial institution wants to sell anonymized transaction data to third-party analytics firms.

 ✅ Solution: AWS Data Exchange or Snowflake enables governed, controlled data sharing with external consumers without exposing personal details. 

4️⃣ Healthcare & Research Collaboration 

🏥 Use Case: Hospitals and pharmaceutical companies collaborate on medical research while complying with HIPAA & GDPR regulations. 

✅ Solution: Federated data sharing models allow hospitals to run analytics on combined datasets without sharing raw patient records. 

5️⃣ Regulatory & Compliance Reporting 

📜 Use Case: Banks must share financial transaction data with regulators without violating privacy laws. 

✅ Solution: Secure APIs with token-based authentication provide regulators with controlled access while maintaining an audit trail. 

🔐 Best Practices for Secure Data Sharing 

🔹 Role-Based Access Control (RBAC): Assign access rights based on user roles. 

🔹 Data Masking & Anonymization: Protect sensitive PII data before sharing. 

🔹 Encryption (TLS & AES-256): Encrypt data in transit and at rest. 

🔹 Federated Authentication (OAuth, SAML): Ensure secure identity verification. 

🔹 Zero Trust Architecture: Implement least privilege access policies. 

🚀 Conclusion 

Secure data sharing is crucial for modern enterprises looking to collaborate efficiently while protecting data privacy. Technologies like Azure Data Share, Snowflake, and AWS Lake Formation enable organizations to share data securely across departments, partners, and regulators. 

By following best practices and using the right platforms, businesses can unlock secure, compliant, and scalable data collaboration.

Trump Offers Buyout Packages to Federal Workers in Effort to Shrink Government

President Donald Trump has extended a buyout offer to nearly all federal employees who are unwilling to return to the office, marking a significant step toward downsizing the US government.

In an email sent to millions of federal workers on Tuesday, the Trump administration presented a "deferred resignation program," asking employees to decide by February 6 whether they would voluntarily leave their positions. Those who choose to resign would receive a severance package amounting to approximately eight months’ salary, including benefits through September 30.

The administration anticipates that up to 10% of the federal workforce, or around 200,000 employees, will accept the offer, potentially saving the government up to $100 billion, according to senior officials speaking with CBS News.

Workers who are interested in the buyout were instructed to reply to the email with the word "resign" in the subject line. However, certain employees, such as postal workers, military personnel, immigration officers, and national security staff, were excluded from the offer.

The email from the Office of Personnel Management, the government's HR agency, also warned that future downsizing measures could affect employees who choose to stay. "We cannot give you full assurance regarding the certainty of your position or agency, but should your position be eliminated, you will be treated with dignity," the message read.

This offer follows Trump's earlier directive requiring federal employees who had been working remotely during the COVID-19 pandemic to return to the office five days a week. White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy, Stephen Miller, told CNN that the government’s workforce, which is largely left-leaning, needed restructuring for Trump to regain control over federal operations.

Trump has long advocated for reducing the size of the federal government and cutting spending. He appointed Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to lead an advisory body focused on cutting regulations, reducing government spending, and trimming the workforce. Ramaswamy has since stepped down from his role.

The buyout offer echoes a similar move made by Musk in late 2022 after acquiring Twitter (now X), when he also asked employees to email if they wished to remain at the company.

The announcement came after a turbulent day in Washington, which included a memo from Trump calling for a pause on federal grants, loans, and other forms of assistance. A district judge temporarily suspended the order, which had been set to take effect on Tuesday, until the following Monday. The White House attempted to reassure the public that essential services, such as Social Security and Medicaid, would not be disrupted.

Additionally, on Tuesday, Trump signed an executive order aimed at restricting gender-related care for minors. Titled "Protecting Children from Chemical and Surgical Mutilation," the order seeks to prevent individuals under 19 from making irreversible gender-transitioning decisions. It also prohibits federal funding for such procedures. The order's implementation remains unclear and is expected to face legal challenges.

How the fuck will that get you cancelled?

That is the most uncancellable, milquetoast shit I have ever seen.

If you start saving at 30 years old and you expect to retire at 65 and use $100k/year until 85 you have to invest $3000/month

Thats fucking nuts. I am putting that much away. Its insane

Here are some that will get you cancelled:

If you have good enough credit to get a $42,000 credit card and preferably like $100k credit card you could (if you made it your full time job) make $30 mil/year

Rental properties are priced based on revenue, not property value. This can be exploited both ways

A car payment should not be more than 8% of your income

A house should cost twice your salary but with a 30 year mortgage 4x your salary is affordable

Its almost impossible to sell a house thats 5x the average income in a town. So in a town with “average” income $60k per person a $300k house will need to be on the market for 6 months or more. Most nice/suburban towns have average incomes above $100k.

Banks have just cut mortgages and business loans to 90% of what it was in 2008. So were pretty fucked

You first house (with the first time home buyers program) can have a down payment of 3-5%. Its okay to not do 20%

If you’re poor places with low cost of living are more important than taxes. Virginia have high taxes but at $15/hr it doesn’t matter. you can get cheap rent and food and fuel there.

Buying a home is a scam by the banks

Refinancing your home is a scam

Refinancing your debt WITH ANOTHER BANK is not always a scam. They get your business instead of the other guys.

If you refinance with the same bank they have no incentive to help you and, in fact, have an incentive to fuck you

You will die poor

Warren Buffet invests in shit businesses and props them up by lobbying for government regulation that makes him more profitable like the Keystone pipeline. You cannot invest like Warren Buffet no matter what some book says and if you could, you shouldn’t

You can’t beat an index fund. Other people can. I do. You can’t

FOREX is actually straight up gambling. The “brokers” control the prices. Arguably its more fun than gambling but just be aware

You don’t “need” that new thing

Lifestyle creep will ruin your finances

Unless you are actively trying Costco and Sam’s Club will not save you money. Its pretty easy to do it right though

Some things are actually more expensive at Walmart than at the fancy grocery stores

You should be going to 2 or 3 different stores to get your stuff for less

Don’t buy super cheap stuff. Its a waste of money

Sometimes it is cheaper to eat out because you will have a lot of food waste and meal prep sucks. The only thing I like to prep is soup.

Most jobs have an economic impact 3 to 4x the actual pay. Get over it. The company doesn’t make that much.

Banks won’t lend to independent contractors

Net worth is not comparable to actual cash in hand

$25k is a reasonable amount to keep in the bank as. A rainy day fund. With minimum account amounts on high interest savings accounts $30k is actually reasonable. Yeah I know the average american has less than $1k

If you live in a place that has slightly above average rent and food costs the living wage is like $18.75 or more

When bond interest rates reverse that means rich people and banks are buying 30 year bonds and not 5 year bonds. This is not financial advice but thats when I am eyeballing those 5 year bonds. Banks are forced to buy bonds when the Federal Reserve “prints” money. They choose 30 year bonds even though they are a terrible investment.

If you are going to buy bonds consult an advisor. There are ways to time the market and times when inflation adjusted bonds aren’t the best so yes you do actually need to talk to someone knowledgable

The best investors are paid commission. They make money when you make money so their interests are aligned with yours

Vending machines, laundromats, and other side hustles are a scam. They are a waste of your precious time. Just work overtime at your job or grow cash crops like Oyster mushrooms

You don’t have enough money to get into real estate or most of those side hustles anyway. Minimum is like $150k cash

Oh and if you do manage to build wealth your children or grandchildren will waste it and be wage slaves again

Morning Coffee

I'll call this "Life in the Ranks."

You know, there are plenty of comments I could make about what I hear in the news and TV, but Senator Lindsey Graham is definitely one of them Taking the liberty of making loose comments with his title of acting like an Executive Officer in a Public Forum.

And there's a lot of things I could say about the Jan 6th Pardon. And when the story is all said and done, our boys "elected" by the Virginia Militia Association, to serve as our Joint Militia Detachment, with North Wales Militia, their lives are ultimately stuck with me.

I want them to put their lives back together. I want them to round up their girls and teach them to build family businesses so they can learn to make their families stronger.

But these boys, when they served with me did a wonderful job when we built our "compass" on the direction we were going to go in life. And we committed to follow this until the very end. Regardless of the State of Government Regulation. So what I can say is that they've stuck with me longer than their parents.

Now, we're an older, more worn in generation than the younger ones, for example Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce running around like hellions because they were never taught the fundamentals of how to regulate.

But when I turn around and look at these boys, they learned it by the book. And they know what they were taught. And they got really good at.

But you know in 1998, Congress decided to change all of that with their minimum wage law. And they pulled out my credentials, and regulatory guide, that we all hold dear to us. And they vandalized it, and drew a penis over the top of it.

Back then, minimum wage was $5.37/hr. Where you could go to work right out of high school. But instead, Government taught the economy to compete against our credentials as if they had a fair chance to begin with.

And it's even a fight in the education system. But what I'm saying is that it takes 4 years for a worker to qualify minimum wage to begin with. And Lawmakers will argue with me, but the truth of the matter is that the old style labor camp really is a reasonable way to live.

And when you start digging into it, it's about preserving the Biblical Sanctity of these men with the women they were born with.

Police Officers fighting themselves during Jan 6th is just one of those things that our ranks were taught to work through. But there is no difference when a Police Officer is fighting one of my Militia Officers, when they are both arguing about the same thing. That's life in a ranking system.

The Hunt Family out there showing them some dignity because they know us when we were boys. But, when you look back out the parenting that is going on here, that is just a lot of high school behavior.

--------

If you wanted 27 years of experience at this to give you my opinion. What it's really about is the the President doesn't qualify federal minimum wage standards right now. And then he is naturally fighting for his portion of the public that doesn't qualify.

Where me, as an employer, I would be stuck with arguing with a wall of lawmakers. I don't write the law, but they're the first one to tell me how to run my business. And a President way on the other side of that.

The Government's problem is the result of their own rebellion against the original tribal agreement. But you'll hear all about the term tribal. And they wound up with September 11th.

-------

They'll argue with me for two weeks about median income going up again, after the Government hires 800,000+ workers, only to layoff 25,000. But for them that's a first in a long time.

-------

With the Integrated Logistics Support System, we are trying to support business to business logistics, on a global scaling with our many partners, in order for business owners to get themselves up and cleaned, so we can go back to support in the family values we were all looking for when the world was a different place.

But with regulation, and the fundamentals behind minimum wage law to begin with, I can't pay personnel the payrolls they are really working for, because they never had a chance to find a job they can hold long enough to establish these fundamental values.

Unless the whole point of Integrated Logistics is the incentive to combat catastrophe to begin with. And now we have an actual mission scope. But the horrors of trying to support a logistics system that will provide a reasonable service is kind of concerning when you wind up wondering in the back of your mind what lawmakers were trying to say.

And so, there's incentive to take risks, where an employer can't compensate them, just to provide a service that will get them in a position where they'll have a reasonable future in 4 years or so. Or at least try to preserve what little they have since 1998.

Cn-235 and C-27 for the higher regulations of Integrated Logistics Support.

Providing additional, localized support for the Kawasaki C1 and C2 Cargo Planes.
