21·1 year agoIf someone misunderstands what you’ve said, the fault lies with you.
Good communicators know this and take the time to make sure their comments are conveyed accordingly.

News@lemmy.world•Tens of thousands are dying on the disability wait list
2·1 year agoFound one for Employment Insurance in Canada … works out to less than 1% for 2017-18.
Public accounts documents released this month list more than 104,000 incidents of fraudulent EI claims totalling almost $177 million in the 2017-18 fiscal year.
EI spending between April 2017 and March 2018 topped $19.7 billion. The value of fraudulent claims amounted to less than one per cent of total spending.

1·1 year agoSorry, I can’t even remember what kind of program it was for. My ADHD just picked up on the number and logged it into my brain without a reference point.
Gimme a bit and I’ll see if I can find it.

1·1 year agoYup. Afaik those numbers run across the board, although I have seen an insanely low number for one Ontario social program a few years back (like 0.68% found to be scamming).

5·1 year agoI probably should be as well, but I just don’t have the fight left in me anymore.
Maybe someone can explain to me why it’s easier to fight for someone else vs ourselves, 'cause it’s gd annoying as hell.

The preponderance of shitty world leaders (over the last 40 years or so) is fucking depressing. :/

News@lemmy.world•Tens of thousands are dying on the disability wait list
50·1 year agoSo a bit more info on this … if you look up the average of the demographic that tries to game a system it usually sits somewhere between 2-5%. Unfortunately the powers that be have decided that even tho 95-98% of people follow the rules, everyone has to be vetted (and often denied) so the ‘bad’ ones can be filtered out.
Untold b/trillions are spent doing this, far surpassing what it would cost to just have basic vetting where people in need would be able to access funds/services within 30 days.
Edit to add – This is ONLY good for individuals. All corporate entities should be held to a minimum wait of 6 months to be completely vetted.

4·1 year agoYup. There is little difference in Canada (except for universal healthcare, which is decimated across the board rn).

News@lemmy.world•Justice Dept sues Virginia for violating federal election law
42·1 year agoHonestly, if they were that far ahead they wouldn’t be going nuts with the voter removal bullshit.
The orange asshole is scared he may not win, so is hedging his bets by having Black, Brown, unhoused and poor people removed (this list is who often doesn’t have so-called ‘proper ID’).

News@lemmy.world•FAA’s ‘failing system’ of monitoring Boeing blasted by federal watchdog
6·1 year agoIirc the FAA faced budget cuts so let Boeing police themselves, which is dumb at best.
But whoever decided that the FAA (and every other American regulatory agency) should have their budget cut is at fault here.

126·1 year agoI get that there are verifiable threats here, but giving that piece of shit military vehicles and air transport – which he would point to as his ‘right’ as President-elect – would almost kill any chance of him losing the election.
America is FUBAR’d. :/

How do you feel about Competency and Maturity?

News@lemmy.world•Company recalls nearly 10 million pounds of meat and poultry dishes for listeria contamination
101·1 year agoTbf listeria doesn’t develop in the farming portion of the food chain. It come from bits of meat starting to rot in the machines used to grind the meat up. Companies cutting back on cleaning staff and mandated machine cleaning procedures (ie: tearing the machine down at set intervals) is where the problem starts.

Nobody cares what ICE or DHS says 'cause all they do is lie.
