Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Let me get this straight, if someone gave me a database of SSN and such is okay because it doesn't put the people in the database at immediate risk? Lol okay
Our justice system can be such a gamble sometimes.
Actually valid...
SSNs just aren't a big deal in government accounting, they're literally unavoidable and everywhere.
You could make the argument that they need security interviews, but due to systemic backlogs with those, the deadline is a year after they start working.
It's clearly a bad idea and there is very likely to be a catastrophic data breach...
But this is one of those parts of the system that operates under good faith. So legally we have to assume that these idiot teenagers are no different than any other employee.
The one possible legal avenue is ironically enough their age.
Age discrimination regulations are a one way street. If over 40 no one can use your age against you. But if your 39 years old someone can say "you're too young to do this job".
And these fucks are averaging almost 20 years under 40....
So while normally I'd be talking about how bullshit that distinction here is, it's pretty stupid we're refusing to use that tool.
Not that I would believe the results but did these MFers get background checked by the FBI? Maybe they need access to sensitive systems but are they sure the "auditors" don't have $10k in gambling debt?
There's literally a year grace period before it needs completed. Like I said:
