CDC HR employees were brought back from furlough to process these RIFs and then end their own department

HELLody SchreiBOO @melodyschreiber.com · 17h

The entire HR department at the CDC is gone. Everyone at the IRB, which makes sure studies are conducted ethically and rigorously, and the ethics office, which oversee conflicts of interest for CDC leaders and advisory committee members, were also let go.

Fuck charter schools
Take from public schools, their buildings their resources and their funding for PRIVATE PROFIT and no educational background or degrees
Just theft and subpar education

Privatizing public schools at breakneck speed, filling their pockets with taxpayer funds. www.fox13news.com/news/charter...

A typhoon hit the west coast of Alaska and several homes and communities have been washed out. Most of the communities are indigenous, so…no press coverage.

They also can’t count on FEMA.
