The main difference between cops and military is origin of the members and where they work. Factions don't tend form when you're members are constantly changing. In the US military you're only allowed to remain at a post for 3 years then you get relocated. This happens to everyone all up the chain of command. This is specifically to prevent factions forming. You may get pockets of soldiers, especially in the special forces, that may be assigned to a unit together a few times but we're talking about very small numbers. Speaking as a former soldier any attempt by any president to remain in office through military action would be doomed to failure.

He would require the US military to back him up 100%. Not going to happen. Regardless of what side of the aisle they're on they're still made up of citizens with family from all over the country. So besides the fact that that situation would provide ample ground to legally refuse an order, there is just no way they'd be willing to march on their own people.

I know there are many many other issues plaguing our school systems but when the people making the decisions have very little experience in having to work under those decisions you get a crappy system.

There really is way too much top down decision making for every little thing. And it's rare for those decision makers to have even been in a classroom within the last 10-20 years if ever. I'd be fine if they made it a requirement that you have to have been an active full time teacher within the last 5 years in order to hold an office at the school board and had a minimum of 10 years cumulative teaching experience.

And seriously, how much money does the school board need to run the school board? It should be a pittance compared to whats given to the schools but it's generally not. The school board when I was in high school lost $100,000. Didn't know where it went or who spent it. Just straight up lost it. No one was fired for that mishap.

Need new math books? Sorry you'll just have to use the old ones because some nitwit decided the school computer lab needs to have x amount even though it was just updated in the last year. Can't let you use this money for the fine arts departments because the cafeteria might need new seats and tables if some get broken. Every teacher gets just x amount of money to purchase supplies even though P.E. department already has all the equipment it needs but the Science department doesn't have enough to purchase lab materials and student aids like tissues, pencils, workbooks.

In reality many schools are adequately funded. However, those funds are grossly mismanaged. Some of the highest funded public schools in the US are also some of the worst schools with abysmal results. There are many reasons but one is that the people in charge of making the budget generally have no clue how to teach or what goes on in a classroom. Instead they plan on x amount per student per year. Little if any thought is given to individual needs, the break down of cost per student per subject, and teaching aids. It's generally expected that the administration of the schools should be making those decisions. Sounds like it should work right? Except then they dictate what funds schools have to allocate towards certain things. And once allocated those funds are legally locked to just that thing.

If you are ever in a position to actually swim near these fish do not touch them. While the fish isn't going to do a thing to you they're notorious for being covered in parasites. They even float up to the surface lay on their sides to sun and let birds land on them to eat the parasites off.

Is the title supposed to read "Why? To make sure no one in IT learns who is on the lay-off list in advance" or, "How to make sure no one in IT learns who is on the lay-off list in advance"?

The Miranda rights do not have to be read to someone being arrested. It does have to be read if you're arrested and the police want to use anything you say or any evidence gathered based on what you tell them in a court of law. That being said if you are not arrested anything you say can be used against you. Being detained is not being arrested. Police can detain you for your or their safety. If they want to charge you with something, you do have to be arrested. nolo . com/legal-encyclopedia/police-questioning-miranda-warnings-29930.html

Florida handles weather a bit different 1 comments

To be fair most Floridians still think those that don't leave during a mandatory evacuation and then call 991 when they get in trouble are idiots. But as a general rule long time Floridians do tend to think severe weather is less severe than people in other states. I've heard 3-5 inches (76-126mm) called a little bit of rain.
