Co-Wealth Management Consultant helps applying TVP Technology Voucher for SMEs in one-stop - Taiwan News

WASHINGTON, DC - A new congressional investigation into the meatpacking industrys COVID-19 response is targeting activity at Tyson's Waterloo plant.

A U.S. House subcommittee is calling on Tyson to release results of its investigation into management wagering on COVID-19 infections in workers.

Several Waterloo plant managers were fired after Tyson launched its investigation led by former U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder.

Tyson has agreed to comply with the House committee, which says the company has not stated what it's doing to prevent worker abuses.

The House subcommittee says it wants the full report and documentation of Tyson's investigation. It says it wants the information by February 15th.

A letter from the subcommittee to Tyson President and CEO Dean Banks says the company has not been transparent with its investigation.

"According to the health department in Black Hawk County, Iowa, more than 1,000 workers at the plant contracted the virus and at least five employees died," the letter says. "After the allegation came to light that Tyson managers were betting on coronavirus infections, you stated that the company was very upset to learn of the behaviors found in the allegations, and Tyson terminated seven managers following an independent investigation the company commissioned. Tyson has not released the findings from this investigation and has not stated what controls it has implemented, if any, to prevent more abuses of worker health and safety or to identify potential similar conduct at other facilities."

The subcommittee says its investigation follows reports that nearly 54,000 workers at 569 meatpacking plants in the United States have tested positive for the coronavirus, and at least 270 have died.

The committee, known as the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis, is chaired by Democratic Representative James Clyburn. The committee sent letters Monday to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), Tyson Foods, Smithfield Foods and JBS USA announcing the launch of its investigation into coronavirus outbreaks at meatpacking plants nationwide.

"Public reports indicate that under the Trump Administration, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) failed to adequately carry out its responsibility for enforcing worker safety laws at meatpacking plants across the country, resulting in preventable infections and deaths, Chairman Clyburn wrote to OSHA. It is imperative that the previous Administrations shortcomings are swiftly identified and rectified to save lives in the months before coronavirus vaccinations are available for all Americans.

The letter to Tyson noted the company reported $2.15 billion in profits and strong returns for shareholders in 2020, but said it did not take basic precautions to prevent COVID-19 outbreaks.

Congressional Probe Wants Information on Wagering at Tyson Waterloo Plant | NEWSRADIO 1040 WHO - iHeartRadio

Congressman Scott Perry has had the courage to stand up for the Constitution and the integrity of the American election system.

But The New York Times is disturbed https://www.nytimes.com/2021/01/23/us/politics/scott-perry-trump-justice-department-election.html that the congressman had the nerve to introduce then-President Trump to a Justice Department official who believed, as did the president, that there were serious problems with the integrity of the 2020 election.

First, the Justice Department official, acting chief of the civil division Jeffrey Clark, worked for the president - as all executive branch federal employees in Washington do, no matter who the president is. Federal employees - and I have been both a White House aide to President Reagan and a senior staff member to a cabinet secretary - Bush 41 HUD Secretary Jack Kemp - have two choices as they go about their job.

One, follow the directions of their boss. Or two, if they disagree, resign. Mr. Clarks offense was to merely speak a few times with the president. No action was taken.

There was nothing wrong with Clark having conversations about election integrity with the president or with Congressman Perry. It was completely constitutional. To say that this was somehow a seditious scheme is simply untrue. Both the president and Congressman Perry were well within their rights.

Standing up on the floor of the House to oppose certifying electoral votes that the Congressman and many of his Republican colleagues believe were questionable is exactly the job of a congressman or senator. In fact, various Democrats in Congress had done exactly that in 2000, 2004, and 2016.

Never once mentioned by The Times is the hard fact that, sadly, Pennsylvania has a very long, and very bad, reputation for election integrity. Thus a discussion with a Pennsylvania Congressman, Mr. Clark and the president on this topic was clearly merited.

How bad is the Pennsylvania record on this score? A simple stroll through the PennLive archives and various books on Pennsylvania political history and there is story after story on election fraud in Pennsylvania.

From Penn Live is this headline from 2016: Tight election, voter fraud worries, power grab - no, not now, but 175+ years ago

The story recounts a bitterly fought Pennsylvania governors race replete with serious allegations of voter fraud in 1838.

The longtime (and late) Harrisburg Evening News political columnist Paul Beers wrote in his 1980 book on the history of Pennsylvania politics of Philadelphias debased political morals. In 1904, he wrote, a Philadelphia citizens committee estimated the number of fraudulent names on assessors lists of voters between 50,000 and 80,000.

Sixty-one years later in 1965, nothing had changed in Philadelphia elections when Republican Arlen Specter ran for Philadelphia District Attorney. In his memoirs the man who would become a five-term Pennsylvania US Senator discussed his first race for office, making a point of discussing tampering with voting machines, a standard Philadelphia ploy.

Twenty-nine years later in 1994 The New York Times itself was reporting this: Saying Philadelphias election system had collapsed under a massive scheme by Democrats to steal a State Senate election in November, a federal judge today took the rare step of invalidating the vote and ordered the seat filled by the Republican candidate.

Just last year, a Democratic election judge in Philadelphia and a former Democratic congressman from Philadelphia were indicted for voter fraud in three different elections - 2014, 2015 and 2016.

Complaints about the politicization of the Justice Department by President Trump are particularly rich. The DOJ headquarters, itself, is named for the late Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, famously appointed by his brother, President John F. Kennedy. One Kennedy biography after another has long established that the Kennedys ran a seriously politicized Justice Department. More recently, President Obamas attorney general, Eric Holder, described his role running the Justice Department as being the presidents political wingman.

Congressman Perry, decidedly a mainstream Reagan conservative, has also been attacked for believing a conspiracy theory from fringe groups about attempts by ISIS to infiltrate the US southern border. In fact, it was the Obama-era under secretary for intelligence and analysis at the Obama-run Department of Homeland Security who did indeed tell then-Arizona Senator John McCain in a 2014 Senate hearing that there were members of ISIS plotting to do just that. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/dhs-confirms-isis-planning-infiltration-of-us-southern-border

Does the literal three centuries-long repeated problem in Pennsylvania mean there was voter fraud in 2020? No. But the pattern is decidedly there - and it should be thoroughly investigated and the Pennsylvania election system be seriously reformed before the next elections in 2022 and 2024.

To sum up? Congressman Perrys constituents have a right to expect the Pennsylvania and larger American election system be run with the utmost integrity and openness. The Congressman - and many of his Republican colleagues in and out of Pennsylvania - has stood up to support just that.

For which he deserves thanks.

Bill Murray is notoriously an actor who is hard to get in touch with. Perhaps thats why the famously reclusive star has such an extensive list of roles he almost played. However, for 1993s Groundhog Day, it wasnt Murray who missed out but actor Tom Hanks. If the Forrest Gump star feels like an odd choice for Groundhog Day, even Hanks is happy he passed on the comedy.

Directed by Harold Ramis, Groundhog Day stars Murray as arrogant weatherman Phil Connors who finds himself trapped in a time loop. Every morning, he awakes in snowy Punxsutawney, Penn. on the eponymous holiday. And no matter what he does, he cannot simply make it to tomorrow. Andie MacDowell and Chris Elliott co-star as Phils love interest and cameraman, respectively.

Thanks to Murrays star power and its sharp premise, Groundhog Day was a box office hit. However, in the time since its release, the movie has become something of a modern classic. Ramis, of course, co-starred with Murray in the Ghostbusters films years earlier. And the two had a falling out after its release, a rift only repaired just months before Ramis died in 2014.

Reportedly, Ramis and Murray disagreed on which themes the movie should explore. Still, in hindsight, its difficult to picture anyone but Murray in the role. Phil Connors feels so tailored to his comedic skill set, after all. But as Ramis revealed during a Q&A in Chicago in 2009 (via The Hollywood Reporter), he actually wanted Hanks to headline Groundhog Day.

Audiences would have been sitting there waiting for me to become nice because I always play nice, Hanks said regarding the role, according to Ramis. But Bills such a miserable S.O.B. on- and offscreen, you didnt know what was going to happen.

To be fair, Hanks has a point. Hanks admits he doesnt always live up to his nice guy persona. Plus, when hes played a villain (The Ladykillers, The Circle), it hasnt exactly worked out. Seeing as he would win back-to-back Academy Awards soon after Groundhog Day, it all worked out for Hanks.

RELATED: Tom Hanks Has a Very Selfish Reason Why He Doesnt Like to Get Mad

Hanks and Murray arent ordinarily two actors who fans mix up. Hanks started off in comedy before focusing on drama, whereas Murrays career went the opposite direction. But wildly, Ohio Congressman Dennis Kucinich still confused the two stars at a congressional hearing in 2012.

According to The Atlantic, Kucinich told Attorney General Eric Holder he must feel like Tom Hanks in Groundhog Day. The congressman was quick to correct himself after the fact though. Just add this instance to the mythic trivia regarding Ramis and Murrays now-beloved comedy.
