Self Disclosure Of Disability Form New York State: Fill & Download for Free

In the USA most employment is at will which means the employment is not subject to contract.Private industry employs at will, with contractual provisions limited to IP considerations, such as non disclosure, non circumvent and the strict enforcement of trade secrets.Public service employment is lifetime employment, post probationary period.In the US a short term contract is mostly viewed as a half assed measure, and in the US nothing is done on such a basis.And that is the short of it.Where skilled workers think it is in their best interest to allow for collective bargaining, union membership results in unions doing the contracting. But since unions have taken the side of the globalists and the socialist international, who’s primary policy objective is the offshoring of highly compensated skilled work, even traditionally labour intensive industries have chosen to forfeit labour representation.Government bureaucratic labour representation was traditionally banned as “self interested in the extreme”… But is now the norm. This is the largest working body subject to contract today.Since this body sucks more resources from private enterprise than it puts back into the system (expenditure exceeds tax revenue) eventually this will guarantee Municipal, State and Federal bankruptcies. This will curtail the ability to pay out according to contracted terms, and raises serious doubts about their ability to pay out medical benefits and pension plans.High medical costs bankrupt the medical plans.Low interest rate money supply, bankrupts the pension plans.Which is why the bail out of Puerto Rico was so important. California and New York State are probably next, if not proceeded by the bankruptcy of cities like New York, Los Angeles, Chicago or San Francisco.It is of course ironic that the wealthiest cities in the US cannot raise enough taxes to cover for the welfare programs its citizens voted for. That is of course a consequence of the fact that the globalists and the socialist international allowed for the offshoring of profits as a means to raise other country’s standard of living with no regard for minimum tax sufficiency in the districts that elected them in the first place.Public employees make on average, considering pay, benefits and retirement costs, twice what is paid to private employees.The consequence of that is that given a certain threshold, its cost prohibitive to use the instrument of a public employee contract to do low skilled work. The high cost does not justify the low productivity, even at government standards of productivity.The first industry to get the municipal ax was garbage collection. Privatization meant that employment was at will. That kind of heavy lifting of course results in back injury. Which means that no one can do the work much past 45 years of age. Instead of retirement benefits, permanent disability was the solution of choice in the US. Which is why the Obama administration raised the number of people on permanent disability from 30m to over 55m in 2016.The calculus is that people with broken backs on opioids rarely survive their sixtieth birthday. Actual life expectancy for those on disability is 58 if the actuaries are telling us the truth.Since nominally they paid into the system via payroll taxes, its not quite breakeven, but it is at least nominally funded.Both agriculture and labour intensive industries depend heavily on illegal immigration.Industry, but especially agricultural bosses pay the exact same wage they would pay a US citizen willing to compete for the same job. On the agricultural fields of California’s central valley, they don’t care if you are citizen or non citizen, woman or man, provided you pick your quota, or better get paid piecemeal.The difference is that the State of California would much rather you be an illegal than a legal worker, for the aforementioned problem of permanent disability obligations. The consensus among industry, agriculture and State representatives and the Federal Government is “we paid you a market wage, you wired back the money to build a house on your land, now go home…”Its back breaking labour minus the permanent disability and the free doctor’s visit for the opioids.Its the “go home and drink tequila school of social justice”.Even high tech jobs are “at will”.As long as the H1B program allows in more foreign trained engineers than industry needs, there is no need to try to retain talent in house. For every job there are twenty people ready willing and able to take that job.The employment contract is now nothing more than a non-circumvent, non disclosure agreement. Its IP enforcement of the trade secret under State law.That is the commoditization of the knowledge worker, that has resulted in wages being stuck at 1989 levels for thirty years. If you take a doubling of the real cost of goods every ten years (real inflation) that means that in today’s money, US knowledge workers are earning one third of what they were a generation ago. Women joining the workforce as equals brings household income to two thirds, and forfeiting child birth bridges the rest.The first 12 years of skool are mostly on the back of municipalities through the artifice of property taxes. The next four to six years of university grade education are on the back of individuals.A foreign trained engineer costs the tax payer nothing. They come into the workforce without the two hundred and fifty grand worth of student debt that their US counterparts came to the labour force with.This is a double win for industry. They are not on the hook to have to contribute to the tax base, and they can exploit their favorable negotiating position vis a vis high debt candidates with the interest meter running.Both the globalists and the socialist international will argue that the knowledge transfer is a two way street. Which clearly it is.This allows for those knowledge worker surplus countries to benefit from the knowledge transfer, which is what allows them to compete with US product at their greatly diminished labour rates.The US loss in compensation is counterbalanced by the cheaper goods to be found on the shelves of US big box retailers. Until such time as Chinese labour inflation becomes US goods inflation.One industry that is exempt from this knowledge work competition is the medical industry, which is why on average they earn four times their counterparts in other industries, or twice what a public employee makes.There used to be exceptions carved into immigration law, like for Irish nurses or european trained doctors, but even those loopholes have been curtailed on the basis that US medicine is no longer empirical-scientific, but has become disease focused, with symptoms matched by the patent drug industry, and care only provided with the emergency room construct.There are paradigm constraints on the medical profession that perfectly exclude wage competition.It is clearly policy to transfer private contract medical providers into the government contract policy scope. They are after all high value add activities, and perfectly qualify for public union membership.Eliminating more than one million insurance industry professionals would more than adequately compensate for the extra costs of public service employment contracts.The affordable care act might not yet have bankrupted the system, but hope springs eternal in certain circles. We have the Good Senator from Arizona to thank for that, may the Good Lord have mercy on him for casting the final vote.Employment in the legal profession was usually limited by educational exclusion.With government guaranteed educational loans, that exclusion was curtailed down to meritocratic competition for entry.Most of the world uses pure Roman Jurisprudence, while the US system only maintains it for the Constitutional superstructure. Contract is the domain of English Common law. And the application of law is the prerogative of the Jury backed courts. This greatly limits foreign trained wage competition.A person with no technical, scientific or engineering skills will usually be limited to an education in the cultural disciplines.This leaves few avenues for gainful employment. The obvious choice is working in low wage service jobs.The alternatives are master’s level programs, in either education or law. The number of graduates with legal degrees is so high, that wages are now just above unionized blue collar work. The average law skool graduate in the US makes what a Fedex driver makes, minus the 401K contribution. On an hour adjusted basis its half the pay.Of course if your employment is based on the strength of your back and your willingness to lift boxes, the revenue stream is limited to your ability to stay in good health.The other avenue is to prove your political and social credentials, and join the exceedingly well paid army employed by the various municipal, state and federal educational institutions.Getting a job in a public skool vis a vis the legal profession means half the work twice the pay.Only a true dumb ass would get a law degree in this year and age.The armed forces pay shit for back breaking and limb detaching work.The armed forces on the other hand are a straight path to gain employment in the incarceration industry.For those with a higher ability to follow complex rules based systems, the Police Department is the natural end point.For those with higher knowledge and true leadership skills, Federal law enforcement is the optimal choice.Given salaries, benefits and retirement package at 20 or 30 years in, getting one of these employment contracts is the best possible choice for the non technically endowed. Average wages over the course of a lifetime employment contract is equivalent to three times what somebody in private industry makes, since keeping a corporate job past fifty five years of age is now rare (given the influx of foreign trained MBA’s).Every culture that ever existed has had 5–10% of its population suffer from impulse control. Those that did not receive military indoctrination under the banners of discipline, honor and duty are obviously the ones currently benefiting from the incarceration regime.Neither individuals or companies hiring maximize their position individually. Its not within their power to do so.What they look at is their competitive position vis a vis their competitors. Its only a matter of competitive advantage.They are the beneficiary or victim of their competitive system wide externalities.If your competitor moves their factory from Korea to Vietnam, the US manufacturer will move their manufacturing from Ohio to Mexico. Its mix and match and the detail is irrelevant.If Microsoft hires half the graduates of India’s fine universities, Google must do the same. There is no calculus there, its just an environmental variable that needs to be matched.There is no such things as short term contracts in the US economic model.You are either on the lifetime public contract, or you are at will.If you get sick and are not missed on the job, pray its serious enough to justify getting permanent disability.The employment markets in individual EU member States or Japan would require a completely different answer specific to the country.But even there contract terms are quickly being eroded by globalization.What I wrote in the current post, would be perfectly accurate pre 2016.President Trump was elected with a popular mandate to change the terms of the current system. Whether he succeeds or not in challenging the above consensus remains to be seen. He does not have the support of the administrative state, nor of the corporatist globalist class.His chances of getting re-elected in 2020 largely depend on his ability to change employment prospects for those with no economic stake in the globalization international governance system.Perhaps you could say the same holds true in the UK with Brexit, in France with the Yellow Vests Movement, or in Italy with the Lega & Sovereignists. Who knows…Thanks for the ask, always a pleasure.

This question is posing a serious dilemma with regard to the "Be nice policy"! Either I am nice to you by giving you an honest and clear answer (which I am going to do) but this is going to appear "not nice" to the West-coasters people of the San Francisco Bay Area (SFBA) , OR I am nice to the NorCal people but then not to you because to hide the true extent of what is going on here and make it somewhat acceptable, I would have to flat out lie to you and re-victimize the so numerous people that are suffering from the pervasive passive-aggressive pattern in this area.Sorry West-Coasters, I choose honesty! Don't read any further if -like everybody here, you can't stand any truth that does not make you look good. Please jump to the conclusion instead.There are quite a few traits in the West Coast that you will rarely find in the East Coast. The main “westerner holier than thou” principle you have to understand is that West-Coasters think they are all around so, so, so much better than you and the rest of the world in each and every area of life that you need to get re-trained and learn to abide by their good manners/way of thinking/political opinion or you will suffer dire repercussions. They will judge you, and tell you how to speak, how to dress ,what your opinion should be and what to eat or like. First consequence: you can forget refreshing things such as having a mind of your own, being honest, speaking your mind, or voicing any opinion -political or not- that is different than that of the local mainstream or you will never work/date/have friends again. Look how fast comments get deleted or people get banned from social media for having voiced an opinion! ? In the West coast, a faux-pas is something that you truly cannot define as it could be just about ANYTHING as people here use fabricated slight and false faux-pas to ban you, fire you or outright outcast you. I got lectured one day for, after a motor vehicle collision, saying at work that “I was hospitalized”. Mind you, it was shocking! People here use that also to avoid any kind of accountability. Let me map this out for you:Lack of professional accountability and perfect inability to take constructive criticism gracefully. One example: I was asked as a consulting gig to bring a research department up to speed. The manager even told me that this department had a very bad reputation due to their inability at delivering projects within the industry standards. Since I was asked to review some pages of a Data Capture System, I actually reviewed them. The Senior Data Manager had made a shockingly, terrible job in creating these pages. I commented on what needed to be changed in a non-judgmental manner “Per Privacy regulations, you cannot request this info…” or “These are not anatomical locations, please remove from the drop down menu”) and I turned my review in... Ô Sacrilege! Ô Lese-majesty crime! Why would I dare to do what I was asked for and review this, rather than saying “perfect” and signing off without reading anything? This turned into an unpleasant discussion with the above-mentioned manager. I was left wondering why on earth would they immaturely ask for a review when all they wanted were congratulations? I guess the answer lays in the word “immaturely”.Doers, fixers, and productive people are perceived as threats and holding people accountable is a sin therefore, nothing ever gets fixed here before it gets to hell in a hand-basket, because, instead of fixing issues and moving forward, they expect you to move forward without fixing anything, and if you do, shooting the messenger is the name of the game. The idea is that root cause analysis and corrective action are judgmental swear words so let’s skip this and get to “move on” without fixing anything. I have observed this same pattern a gazillion time here, with cohorts of consultants being hired by companies to assess compliance or for auditing purposes, then being fired for daring to do their job by flagging a compliance issue (Isn't that the purpose of any assessment?)! Just because people are SO immature and SO vainglorious that they just cannot respond like a grown-up person: "Good catch Chris! Thanks for finding this!". The realization of any mistake is absolutely unbearable and most companies instead of running a serious root cause analysis will do e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g they can to protect the wrongdoer and get rid of the messenger. Until they end up -weeks away from an inspection- having to summon another consultant that they will pay 10 times more for an expedited job, to tell them the very same thing than the first one they fired because they do not want to hear anything than “wonderful job”.Lecturing/Blaming victims (specifically women, because being upset or outraged is somewhat okay for a male) is common practice. One would think that with the flawless progressive image that the West Coast has: Sanctuary cities, human rights, etc (which is exclusively a facade), out of all places, SFBA would be the place where victims could feel safe, supported and understood... Well, NO. I have seen people publicly throwing objects in contractors' face (for no reason and out of the blue) and getting away with it without even an apology, and the company getting rid of… The contractor! I used to be Domestic Violence advocate, I have seen female attorneys, LECTURING harshly their female clients about the way they were talking about their ex-husband, whose ex-husband violated a restraining order, broke into their home, raped them, beat them to a pulp, and slashed their face and their entire body, in front of their kids! I was SO shocked by this. Here is this woman who has been laying in a pool of her own blood in an ER bed, raped and stabbed all over by a felon, her kids are forever traumatized, and the only interesting thing this degenerate attorney have to tell her is that calling this guy a scumbag, it is not okay? What other title does he deserve anyway? The victim has to show deference to her aggressor otherwise the passive-aggressive holier-than-thou priggish West Coast society could side against her!? Earlier there was the case of another woman being left all by herself during childbirth by the oh-so-famous teaching hospital’s staff to punish her for “being difficult” (knowing that being difficult is just voicing a different opinion than theirs) to the point that they did not do a C-Section on time and her daughter ended up with cerebral palsy (It was all over the news here). And these people were SO convinced that they were right, that “she was being difficult” is the reasoning they served in court to justify the fact that this poor kid is now disabled for the rest of her life! Needless to say that the hospital ended up paying millions. This is not a rare occurrence and since this institution is self-insured, California taxpayers (who are subjected to this type of “care” and already pay the higher taxes in the nation) pays millions of dollars in settlements for this “outstanding” facility, over and over and over while little to no measures are being taken against wrongdoers. But don’t go call your representative to task on that because, mind you, this would be “not nice”! What is this blathering idiocracy? Think of it for a minute...This really is the most perfect definition of "adding insult to injury".Very loose relationship with truth, results, and reality. Which working in science, I find very alarming. When someone here tells you “I believe 2+3 =12” you’d better say “okay” and walk away, or beat around the bush for 2 hours and apologize 10 times before you suggest that in fact, they MAY reconsider their answer because you are afraid that there MAY be another answer (Don’t say it is incorrect or wrong, these are swear-words), otherwise you are offensive. If by the way you want to pursue in this direction, they will finally tell you: “let’s agree to disagree”, which is okay when we talk about whether you like kale or not but when it goes to science and basic math, there is almost no room for "opinions": it is either right OR wrong, hence your entire mind is screaming “WAIT! WHAAAT?” but you’d better shut up and refrain from disagreeing otherwise you are "self-righteous, and inappropriate". In the workplace in the SFBA, you just SHOULD NEVER MAKE ANYONE FEEL THAT THEY ARE WRONG EVER, no matter what they do and how serious this is. Do they break the regulations? Fine! Just pretend you did not see it! Problems come when you are in a position to sign off on anything and at that point, you either sign off on something you know is wrong and you hope for the best OR you voice your concern and you get fired. 2 years ago, a friend of mine got fired from a SFBA company (literally a hell hole that ranks in the top 10 of the best places to work) because she was asked to review a budget and she found out that a manager had forgotten one full line of budget in the initial request form for funds. Because of that, the whole budget was slashed by a quarter-million dollars. YET, although she was not even remotely responsible for the mistake, finding this mistake cost her her job! Which gets me to the next point:Unreliable and able to flat-out lie if need be; Since they cannot fathom that being a grown-up means being able to acknowledge mistakes and take ownership, and since they know they can hide behind their "Ohhh you are so offensive" thing, westerners will lie to your face like nobody's business. Don't take anything at its face value, verify everything, take note of all your meetings and all your 1:1, because they will lie and throw you under the bus in a blink to cover up for their mistakes. If someone tells you that they will help you move, don't count on them, 90% of the time, they won't show up. If someone tells you "let's have lunch sometime next week" or "let's keep in touch" don't even count on it NorCal people don’t ever speak their mind.Widespread and institutionalized backstabbing: Do not turn your back ever, you have a dart-board between our shoulder-blades! There is no business etiquette and no loyalty, your Boss will have no problem talking about you in your back (without even telling you nor giving you the opportunity to explain that Jane hates your guts because you caught her being late) and will encourage the back-stabbing behavior. They will implement these little "informal meetings" behind your back where they will encourage people to badmouth you (combine this to the previous and next points and see how well this could pan out). But it gets better: No matter how outstanding your achievements are, no matter if the vast majority of your colleagues are thinking that you are the greatest, they will focus on the ONE opinion of the ONE poorly-performing-misbehaving individual of the group who will have a negative opinion of you because, in their futile mindset, everybody should get the others to love them, otherwise it does not mean that everybody is entitled to their own opinion, it means that you are bad. Specifically, if you are not from “the Bay”, you will be under extreme scrutiny and everything you say or do will be judged through a negative filter. What a non-judgemental place to be, indeed, right?Flaking and superficiality...To the point that folks are shocked when you show up on time, or when you do what you promised you would do! Lucky you if they schedule something and even bother to cancel an appointment with you. Do not count on anybody, there is no true friendship here, it stops when you leave the company, or when you run into the slightest problem, then you are on your own.Obnoxious, mean, self-centered and brainless drivers, brainless leadership: There are hundreds of miles of traffic jam on the highways around the SFBA, due to the fact that renting on the peninsula is out of reach for the vast majority of the families, hence people are obligated to commute. Out of 10 of the most polluted cities in the US, 8 are in California. YET mass transportation remains at a ridiculous embryo stage. So much for the lessons of eco-citizenship, global warming (they should maybe look into their own backyard first) California gives all around. These people are beating around the bush with the BART since…1957! It took them FIVE YEARS to just draw the plans (compare that to New York public transportation whose first elevated line was constructed in 1867-1870 by Charles Harvey!). To date, the system does not even go to Silicon Valley. In 2010, they suddenly figured that BART overhead structures could collapse in case of an earthquake (Come on! After 2 major quakes in the last century? That’s what the no criticism policy brings to the table)…More delays! In the meantime there are more cars on the highways AND Drivers keep on hogging left lanes while driving under the speed limit, creating gigantic jams despite the dozens of "slower traffic keep right" signs, and of course, the highway patrol does not do anything. These drivers also dangerously accelerate when you want to pass them on the right so that you cannot pass at all (and the jam keeps on building). They immaturely pretend they do not notice the miles-long procession of cars behind them nor that dozens of cars are trying to pass them on the right either. 80% of them drive with their phone to their ear or text and drive (I can confirm that headsets are sold over the counter in California and that most cars have blue tooth), they change lane right in front of you without even signaling, then all of the sudden between the traffic, the change of lane and the undivided attention they were paying to their texts, they get totally disoriented and they break their a** off right in front of you... I have seen people brushing their teeth in the traffic. Or people stopped on the highway to finish their text. Roads have potholes the size of a kitchen [double] sink and of course, nobody holds elected officials accountable because "that's not nice"...What are the positive sides of the place? I am searching for 7 years... In vain. The weather? Perhaps. But 8 hours at work, 3 hours in traffic per day, a terrible pollution, 5-6 hours one way to drive to Lake Tahoe or Yosemite due to traffic, Rents that are beyond crazy: When and how could you enjoy the outdoors anyway?When it gets to the point where political correctness is pushed beyond the absurd, and supersedes the most basic common sense; when people can get away with a-n-y-t-h-i-n-g with an “ohhh you are SO offensive” at the slightest sign that they could be held accountable for whatever they did; time has come to wake up, pick up and go. Don't come here. You would waste your time and your happiness. Sure it takes more time to make friends on the East Coast but at least, when you have friends, you can count on them! I would take 5 months under 4ft of snow over 5 days in this sunny hell ANYTIME. We came here because my spouse was in the Military; right now, I count the days until we can finally get out of here.UPDATE: Good news! It did not take very long. I have found a position in the East coast, we are leaving this hell next week! Like lots of people every day, and like my best friend, I am taking my research in oncology, my skills and my taxes out of California. I wrote to my representative to let him know that, never heard back from him. Once again: so vainglorious that they do not WANT to see the warning signs of a much greater problem. It will take millions of highly qualified people getting out of California taking their skills (and tax money) with them and a huge gaping hole in the budget before they finally acknowledge that they have a problem.UPDATE II: Been there for a year, not going back to live in CA ever again. SO happy in Boston, smart people, social life, work opportunities: This was by far the BEST MOVE I have made in my life!UPDATE III: Full disclosure: Cannot stay in Massachusetts! I discovered to my greatest surprise that it is actually dangerous to live there with pets. Vet care is so lame in MA, it is shocking. I was not suspecting this from the state that is home to Harvard and MIT but great minds are in research DEFINITELY NOT in vet care! No less than SIX vets have misdiagnosed my cat and made me waste time in his cancer treatment. I learned the hard way that Angell Animal Medical center being part of a TV show is not a guarantee that their standards are up to par, well on the contrary I have never seen such a level of incompetence and inability to learn from their mistakes and right the wrongs. Other major vet hospitals are no better even Tufts is among those who messed up. I cannot stay and jeopardize my animal’s health (I have an animal rescue): I have to move out. Too dangerous for them…

Little thing called The Statue of Limitations:A statute of limitation is a law which forbids prosecutors from charging someone with a crime that was committed more than a specified number of years ago. The general purpose of statutes of limitation is to make sure convictions occur only upon evidence (physical or eyewitness) that has not deteriorated with time. After the period of the statute has run, the criminal is essentially free.Statutes of limitation generally require the criminal to remain in the state, gainfully employed and visible, seeming to necessitate that the criminal remain "catchable." If the authorities fail to discover a criminal living in the open within a specified amount of time, society has determined that at that point the criminal should be able to live free from the possibility of prosecution. It appears that this notion is born out of a sense of mercy more than pragmatics: if the criminal is a fugitive, out of the state in which the crime was committed or otherwise living in hiding, this tolls, or suspends, the statute. (Once the criminal reenters the state the statute resumes running.) However, if the criminal were living an open, public, so-called "reformed" life, after a reasonable period of time he is allowed to be free from capture.Not all crimes are governed by statutes of limitation. Murder, for example, has none. In some states sex offenses with minors, crimes of violence, kidnapping, arson, and forgery have no statutes of limitation. In Arizona and California crimes involving public money or public records have no statutes of limitation. While in Colorado, treason has none.Many states have adopted systems that classify felonies by category. Therefore, in order to effectively compare statutes of limitation provisions, it is necessary to determine which crimes in that state fit into particular classes. For example, Missouri lists murder or Class A felonies as crimes with no statutes of limitation.
