Ohio Official Docked Vacation Time For Stolen Tape
Lucas123 writes "The missing tape, stolen from an intern's car, contained data on all 64,467 state employees, 19,388 former employees and 47,245 Ohio taxpayers. The state believes the incident will cost them $3 million. So after four months of deliberation, the Ohio Department of Administrative Services
announced today that they decided to take a week's vacation away from Jerry Miller, their payroll team leader and the guy in charge of the missing data."
The guy was joking.
"everything most people could want to see in their lifetime can be found inside the US"?
Except,perhaps, a democratic leader who isn't taking away citizens' liberties while increasing secret(and not so secret) programs to keep tabs on all citizens. Or one who doesn't pre-emptively wage war on other countries. Or one who had NEVER been outside the US or Mexico before being installed as President. Coming from Stamford, CT, and claiming to be from Texas, he had some limited exposure, even if daddy was head of the CIA for years.(and named their campus after him.)
No surprise that our fearless leader's actions have been those of someone who didn't have a clue about how others see and saw our actions. Going to other places nets you not only "sights", but an understanding of different cultures and peoples. Something that is often difficult to attain in the US, unless one really goes out of their way.
