@Tekla_Too “If required to register with Selective Service, failure to register is a felony punishable by a fine of up to $250,000 and/or 5 years imprisonment“ (sss.gov/register/benef…). 18 U.S.C. §3571(b)(3); 50 U.S. Code §§ 3802, 3811 (fas.org/sgp/crs/misc/R…, p. 23).
@Tekla_Too As the @NationalNOW argued, "Congress’s decision to exclude women from the male-only registration requirement denies women a key aspect of their citizenship. To reap equal rewards of citizenship, women must equally bear its burdens" (supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/20/2…, p. 4).
An interview question in business books that comes up lot is: “describe yourself with an adjective” or a short list thereof.
I’ve had a few lists, but “discursive” is always at or near the top of the lists and would likely be the single adjective with which I’d describe myself.
“Discursive” is how I, generally, think, write, and research. I almost never read or write linearly straight through. A piece here, another there, until the whole becomes apparent and understandable.
What adjective would you use to describe yourself?
@sudsbakerysoaps@USDOL The Department of Labor (@USDOL) defines skilled work as work that takes over 30 days to learn (using the Specific Vocational Preparation system to rate jobs), skills are transferrable to other work, and unskilled work takes 30 days or less to learn (occupationalinfo.org/appendxc_1.html).
@sudsbakerysoaps@USDOL That definition of skilled work is key to understanding vocational rehabilitation, job market, and job placement literature. The degree of preparation before basic mastery of a job is rated by the Specific Vocational Preparation code: 1 and 2 each refer to unskilled work.
@sudsbakerysoaps@USDOL In 1981, Fast Food Cook was last classified in the Dictionary of Occupational Titles (under code 313.374-010) as being skilled work with a Specific Vocational Preparation of 5 (indicating over 6 months up to and including 1 year of training required) (occupationalinfo.org/31/313374010.h…).
@QuintusCurtius The draft will not address “how the obesity problem is destroying the population” because many of those who are obese got that way in childhood. “31% of young adults ages 17 to 24 cannot enlist because they're too heavy” (npr.org/sections/healt… | dacowits.defense.gov/Portals/48/Doc…).
@QuintusCurtius Moreover, more than 10% of the population will not qualify due to lack of intelligence. “Minimum enlistment standards since World War II have generally been higher than the 10th percentile” (www1.udel.edu/educ/gottfreds…, p. 90).
@QuintusCurtius “[T]he military is prohibited by law… from enlisting recruits below… the 10th percentile… because of the extraordinarily high training costs and high rates of failure among such men during the mobilization of forces in World War II” (www1.udel.edu/educ/gottfreds…, p. 90).
@Oneiorosgrip@SignHexa Regarding historical parental fiscal responsibility, consider "Lagging Behind the Times: Parenthood, Custody, and Gender Bias in the Family Court" by Cynthia McNeely published in 1998 in Volume 25 of the _Florida State University Law Review_ page 891 (ir.law.fsu.edu/cgi/viewconten…).
@Oneiorosgrip@SignHexa "[T]he father [was designated] as the natural protector of children because he had the ability to provide for their financial support. Women were seen as incapable of handling legal or financial matters…." 25 Fla. St. U. L. Rev. 891, 897 (1998).
@Oneiorosgrip@SignHexa "Because fathers usually provided the family’s sole income through their employment away from the home [during the Industrial Revolution], this absence advanced the fathers' 'long march from the center to the periphery of domestic life.'" 25 Fla. St. U. L. Rev. at 898 (1998).
@LavAgarwal95@General_Oluchi@BLS_gov@pewresearch According to the @BLS_gov, "[o]n the days they worked, employed men worked 49 minutes more than employed women. … However, even among full-time workers (those usually working 35 hours or more per week), men worked more per day than women—8.4 hours, compared with 7.9 hours."
