Require a “work address” but I’m not sure how that’s enforced.
FWIW YMMV

Government won’t bail out Silicon Valley Bank, which paid workers bonuses hours before collapse
By Bruce Golding
March 12, 2023 12:19pm
*** begin quote ***
Silicon Valley Bank employees received their annual bonuses shortly before the bank was seized Friday, NBC News reported late Saturday.
The bank traditionally hands out bonuses for the prior year’s work on the second Friday in March, and the payments had been in the works for days, sources familiar with the matter told CNBC.
It’s unclear how much cash was distributed, but NBC said the bonuses likely ranged from $14,000 each for associates to $140,000 apiece for managing directors, based on figures posted on the Glassdoor website.
*** end quote ***
Can anyone say “clawback”?
If the firm fails, why should AYONE get a “bonus”?
I’d argue that alll executive compensation packages should be contingent on the enterprise surviving.
In other blog pasts, I’ve argued that no one should get a “salary” that is more than the US President. They should then get compensation in the form of bonds strung out over 20 or 40 years.
We need to figure out how to incentivize long term thinking as a matter of public policy. The tax code can help in this regard.

I recently turned a fun event for my fiancée into a disaster when I couldn’t pick her up promptly after the Paul McCartney concert ended.
I had studied the map and instructions about drop off and pick off. I was very familiar with the venue giving that I’d live in the vicinity for decades.
So the drop off worked well. Lot C next to E. And we agreed that’s where we would meet.
After dropping her off, I scouted the area and figured out where I could wait. Got back about 10PM and the concert would end at 1030. About 10:15, the crowd started to break.
When I tried my path to the pickup, I found all roads blocked and made outbound only. Argh! For the better part of an hour, I tried different ways to get to the pickup point.
Finally, I went with the flow and circled around the venue on connecting roads about 2 miles out. Then I tried to reenter closest to the pickup lot. Cut through a blocked gate with I moved and used a handicapped ramp break in the curbing to get to the rendezvous point 90 mintiest after the concert ended. Argh!
AFTER ACTION REPORT
Found out that the parking lots were free after 8, so I could have just parked by the rendezvous point.
Upon reflection, I should have went to the rendezvous point long before traffic pattern was with to OUT ONLY.
All directions that I was given by the traffic folks was universally wrong except for the one guy who said: “You can’t there from here.”
Argh!

Reporting A Concern
Serious concerns about an individual’s driving skills can be reported to the MVC’s Medical Review Unit using the process described below. The Medical Review Unit screens and establishes cases based on referrals from medical professionals, police, courts, social workers and family members. Physicians are required by law to notify the MVC if patient suffers from a recurrent seizure, recurrent periods of unconsciousness or for impairment or loss of motor coordination due to conditions such as, but not limited to, epilepsy. (NJSA 39:3-10.4).
Anonymous reports cannot be accepted.
The American Medical Association (AMA) 1999 ethical guidelines states that all physicians are ethically responsible for notifying their state motor vehicle department if they believe a patient may not be able to drive safely.
In order to report a concern:
Write a letter detailing the motorist’s medical condition and as much of the following information as possible: name and address, driver license number and date of birth. Include your full name and address, your relationship to the driver and your observations regarding the person’s driving safety.
# – # – # – # – #
Having ruined a family relationship by “taking away the keys”, when the situation arose gain, I recommended making the person’s doctor the villain in this particular morality play.
So what if you have spend a few extra eons in Purgatory for a “little white lie”, it’s better than an eternity in Hell for your part in maimin or killing someone.

*** begin quote ***
Amazon said Tuesday that its in-garage grocery delivery service is expanding from just five cities to over 5,000. This is an extension of Key by Amazon, and those with Prime can have Amazon Fresh or Whole Foods grocery orders left directly in their garage.
*** end quote ***
I signed up for the “garage key” and it works.
BUT, (and there is always a BIG butt), it can add a day to the delivery time. I don’t understand why, but for high value items it’s seems an easy choice.
Now they need a “car trunk” system.

https://central.myfax.com/help?mobile=n
I learned a long time ago when being a “patient advocate” that MOST times the best way to communicate with the “medicine men” aka modern day doctors was to use the fax machine. Now I “know” that HIPPA prevents them from using plain old email; some have portals that they can communicate through, but nothing is as easy as a fax machine. And, for some reason, perhaps because it’s not used a lot by patients, it seems to get special attention. For example, when I call to get a prescription refill and jump through all the hoops, sometimes I get my refill. I never get a call back to say that it’s been sent in; some docs actually tell you via recorded message that they ain’t calling you back. Argh! (It’s like the unmonitored email boxes that email important info but you’re not important enough to take your reply. Argh!)
My fax is $10 per month and works flawlessly. I get nothing from them other Han good service YMMV.
So just today, I had another opportunity to show myself the value of this low tech solution. I had to go to the radiology lab again, never mind why my first visit was screwed up, and, on the prior visit they gave me their SEVEN page form to fill out at home. Being a high tech guy, I scanned it in and did it “online”. But, I forgot to print out the results. So today, when I arrived at the lab, I asked for their fax number, bridged my computer to my cell phone, and got my fax to send the complete form into the lab. Problem solved.
So I recommend keeping this particular “arrow” in your quiver!

Get PDF first
Owner manuals and installation guides contain far more information about a product than either the sales brochure, the online descriptions, or even Amazon reviews. The manual will have exact dimensions, all the parts, and caveats about what it can’t do. So my rule of thumb these days is to always download the product’s manual before I purchase the item. Impossible in the old pre-internet days, it’s a no-brainer today. It has saved me many times. Regrettably, not 100% of product have manuals PDFs that are findable, but the better products do. — KK

Elizabeth Warren Lies About Her Heritage Again at Tribal Nations Summit: ‘My Mother’s Family Was Part Native American’
by MICHAEL PATRICK LEAHY 14 Feb 20187,325
*** begin quote ***
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) has once again made the false claim that she has Native American ancestry.
“My mother’s family was part Native American,” she said in a speech to the National Congress of American Indians Tribal Nations Policy Summit in Washington, D.C, on Wednesday, according to prepared text provided to the Boston Globe.
*** and ***
“The New England Historical Genealogical Society, which originally announced they found evidence of Elizabeth Warren’s Native American heritage, said today they have discovered no documentation to back up claims that she is 1/32 Cherokee,” the Boston Herald reported in May 2012.
The Herald reported:
‘NEHGS has not expressed a position on whether Mrs. Warren has Native American ancestry, nor do we possess any primary sources to prove that she is,” said Tom Champoux, spokesman for the NEHGS. “We have no proof that Elizabeth Warren’s great great great grandmother O.C. Sarah Smith [Crawford] either is or is not of Cherokee descent.’”
As Breitbart News reported, Warren does descend from O.C. Sarah Smith Crawford’s husband, Jonathan Crawford, who was a member of the Tennessee Militia that rounded up Cherokee tribe members in the 1830s for the Trail of Tears to Oklahoma.
“You won’t find my family members on any rolls, and I’m not enrolled in a tribe,” Warren conceded, but added, ” I never used my family tree to get a break or get ahead. I never used it to advance my career.”
As Breitbart News reported previously, however, beginning in 1986 and continuing into 1995, Warren claimed that she had minority status in the Association of American Law Schools directory.
Those claims began while she was a faculty member at the University of Pennsylvania Law School and were part of her job application submitted that ended in her hiring on the faculty of Harvard Law School.
*** end quote ***
How do you know when a politician is lying?
Aside from her wacky lunatic left ideas and proposals, this claim needs to “have a stake put in its heart”.
She clearly used “minority status” to advance her career.
We can, and should, eliminate all the “minority preferences” in the Gooferment as unConstitional.
End Gooferment Skrules and we’ll have solved the probem once and for all.
Who cares what “minority” anyone is? We’re all minorities in some way or another.
Just give each other the respect, freedom, and liberty to each other that we want for ourselves.

… look for “evidence”. Not “emotion”.
Everyone needs a “Devil’s Advocate”?
I have two hats. One says “mets” and the other “yankees”. The “yankees” (“my” team of millionaires playing for grazillionaire George) are the pro. The mets con.
Put on your yankee hat and make every possible argument in favor. Everyone.
Put on your mets hat and make every argument against. Even all the tears caused.
Then, do a Ben Franklin. That is stoke out equivalents. “Bathes regularly” balances “forgets wallet”. “kind to his mom” balances “my parents hate him”.
See what is left.
I’ll bet on the Mets in your specific case.

An old old email to a youngfriend trying to pick a future mate.
I don’t know if she used my “methodology”, but she’s still single.
(ALL the young men are crazy not to “ring” her, imho.)
Laugh!
