He didn't need to order is specifically. He was kept in prison in terrible conditions and died because of that. The outcome of his dying was still what Putin wanted (or at least didn't care if it happened). No orders required.
This sort of reporting and claims from the intelligence community feels like obfuscation by using a technically true statement, but irrelevant to the overall issue.
It does happen all the time. It is a problem that it happens all the time. These planes aren't made with proper quality control checks in place and are far less safe than the airlines have been claiming for years.
It should be noted that this is just a method to determine the amount of infected cows. The milk itself isn't a threat to anyone. Virus fragments in themselves can't do anything, they're just a sign of the original cow problem.
Call out anyone that tries to fearmonger about the milk being dangerous.
Yeah, any DNA or RNA in there is going to be completely denatured because of the pasteurization. But that doesn't mean the physical components of the genes just goes away. It is made ineffective and harmless, but it serves as a useful measure on how many cows are infected.
The Federal Trade Commission narrowly voted Tuesday to ban nearly all noncompetes, employment agreements that typically prevent workers from joining competing businesses or launching ones of their own.
Would this also apply to a contracting agency that has a noncompete document that had to be signed by their contractor employees?
The noncompete is so that the contracting employee can't end the contract early and then be hired directly by the company they were being contracted to. At least not for at least a year after ending the contract unless the length of the contract was completed in full.
Not a competitor, but the company you were working at with the contracting agency. Basically trying to stop being a contractor and trying to be hired directly as a colleague.
Basically a lot of the low level jobs are contractors. And you can eventually be hired by the company as a colleague once your contract is up. The contracting agency, however, put in a noncompete clause so that the contractors can't end their contract early in order to apply for that company's colleague position.
I think you misunderstood. The contracting agency has the noncompete clause in their contract. To prevent you from being able to cancel your contract part way through and get a real job at the company you're being contracted out to.
Yes, exactly. They have a separate clause in their contract that makes it so you can't be hired at the company you're being contracted to until you're most of the way through your contract (or the company has to pay the contracting agency a decent chunk of change if they really want to hire you on early).
And the noncompete is an additional document to prevent you from just ending your contract early and applying for the real position at the company without that issue.
Basically the contracting agency trying to get as much money as possible. Even while offering the most minimum of worker benefits they can legally manage.
