Diocesan Statement 04-26-24

 

Rev. Joseph Nemec (no longer retaining the honorary title of Monsignor) has been found guilty of the graviora delicta of inducing an adult woman to commit a sin against the sixth commandment in the context of a sacramental Confession. This decision was ratified by the Holy See and, under the authority of the Holy See, the perpetual penalty of a life of prayer and penance is imposed upon Rev. Joseph Nemec. He is prohibited from performing any public ministry.

Which 6th commandment are we talking about? The murder one or the sex one?

I hope you guys realize no one takes you seriously on this stuff after the last administration.

It couldn't possibly be that we have a strategically important base with US troops in country, could it?

The alleged arrangements stem from an effort by Jim Biden to raise money from Qatari sources for ventures in the U.S. beginning in the months after his older brother left the vice presidency.

Last year's backs would not have read their blocks, and cut it back inside for a 4 or 5 yard gain. This is what we need out of Dowdell. He's not going to burn teams but he can make good plays.

I didn’t realize we have had zero players in the portal. We will see after this game. But that is pretty impressive. 

That's a big sticking point for Rhule. He mentioned it on Busin' that guys don't leave because they don't like it here. If they're leaving it to get playing time.

That's a great problem to have!

That doesn’t explain how absolutely f#&%ing stupid the tax on unrealized gains is.  

I will second this. There's no logical way to make that kind of a tax work.

Federal officers can absolutely be charged in the conspiracy.  Trump's not out of the woods yet in the example of Arizona.  The prosecutor may have several reasons for not charging yet, one being that he may be using the chargers against the other co-conspirators to flip on Trump.  

Again, it's a state case. Not federal.

You're putting it past Trump to do that especially if he doesn't have sane people around him?  That's some pretty thin ice for democracy to skate on especially if the court rules in his favor on immunity.  He'll be even more emboldened next time without the possibility of any consequences.  How about another hypothetical.  One which really isn't hypothetical since his minions are tits deeps in it in Arizona.  What about a president and his allies putting forth a slate of false electors?  

False electors can be arrested and imprisoned. They are not federal officers.

That gets sticky in a situation such as the one we went through only three years ago.  Trump could have called out the military to back his coup attempt and as we've seen, his sycophants in Congress would never impeach him.  Next time, if he's elected and his Project 2025 comes to fruition he'll have vetted loyalists to do his bidding.  If an authoritarian we're to pull it off he'd never become a normal citizen.  In our history we've never had a president need immunity from breaking the law while in office.  There wouldn't be a never ending load of cases.  That hasn't happened before.  Frivolous cases would be bounced immediately.  

 

 

No president has ever called the military to back his coup, but you're talking hypotheticals too...

The circular logic to authoritarianism

 

Impeachment is not the vehicle to deal with, for example an insurrectionist, the judicial system is.   But the judicial system is not that vehicle because the president has broad immunity and the president must first be impeached and convicted.  

 

 

I think the frame work that a sitting president can't be tried until impeached is sound. If not you would have a never ending load of cases against every president for any conceivable slight. That said once they become a normal citizen again impeachment would no longer be necessary, and cases should go straight to court.

The non competes I’m aware of are not like that. If the company fires you, it’s null and void.  Also, you don’t have to start all over. You can still work in the industry and even call on some of your existing customers. 
 

And, again, it’s very difficult to enforce.  I don’t have a problem with this change.  

Unless it specifically says it's void at termination it would still be enforceable. They also spread the gambit from don't take clients to you can't work within so many miles, or for so many months/years.

In a sales manager position, you’re paying someone a lot of money to build relationships. That’s not a lot different than if they a scientist takes technical secrets to another company. Like I said, the customer can call the company up and buy. It’s not prohibiting that. The sales manager can’t just change and actively switch everyone. And, it’s typically just customers of a certain size. The vast majority of customers, this doesn’t affect. 
 

And, again, I don’t really have a problem with this change.  Just pointing out one area that the laws @Archy1221 mentioned doesn’t apply and I can see where I could agree with an agreement. 

If the company fires that sales person then they're out on their a$$ and the non compete still applies, so they have to start over. How is it fair that a company can chain a person like that, but it doesn't work the other way around? Again, NCs are terrible for people and only good for businesses.

The biggest area in my industry that I’ve seen it used is with sales managers. Not the regional sales managers, but the national sales manager for the company. The NC  is that they can’t call on customers over a certain size for a certain period of time. 
 

Like I said, I’ve never used it (mainly because I haven’t had to). But, I really don’t have a problem with something like that. Hey, the sales manager can still work in the industry, just certain customers are off limits to actively call on. Also, if the customer calls the other company and wants to buy, that’s fine. 
 

This also points politely a main reason why I don’t have a problem with this change, they’ve always been almost impossible to enforce. You have to have some pretty damning evidence. 
 

I did hire a VP of production that had an NC with his previous company but, it was just that he couldn’t work with a certain raw material. 

That right there is why they're so awful. A company should value and work to keep it's employees and customers. If they can't do that that's their problem, not a legal one.

I've never signed one and I've never asked someone to sign one.  So, this really doesn't affect me that much.

 

However, there are some industries where they are having an "oh f#&%" moment.  Mostly in technology.  And, I can see their point.  You have certain people that you pay to develop certain things....they can just jump ship and take all your secrets with them.  However, I do see the employee's point of view too.

Non competes are stupid and just hurt common folk. You still can't steal IP, trade secrets, or patented things when you leave, and the work you do on company property is still theirs.

I noticed some of protestors in the videos are wearing surgical masks. In some shots it looked like half. At NYU, they started chanting against the racist police. It makes me wonder if these are the same defund the police agitators and virtue signaling masks wearers from 2020. Sometimes, when you create the monster, you have deal with it.
