I want to track state and local government officials’ businesses, financial investments, corporate donors, and however else they make $ outside of their position salary to better understand [and perhaps predict] legislative priorities.

For example, I’ve seen comments about Frank Larose and others having a financial stake in the alcohol industry, which would help explain their nonsensical stance against cannabis (especially cannabis drinks) that was voted on and has the potential to be very lucrative for the deficits to the current state budget. Instead, they’ve resorted to making legally purchased [and MUCH cheaper] weed from out of state illegal to bring into Ohio. Not such a free capitalist market, America first kind of stance for a party that touts otherwise…

If there is an existing database, kindly comment the link.

If there is no existing database, I’m willing to make one, with your help. If your local representative/city council member/mayor/etc exploits their power for the purpose of enriching themselves, please call them out in the comments. Link(s) to your source strongly encouraged/appreciated ❤️✌🏼

It took me SIX years to find a good manager since moving to this city, and today I just learned that they’ve removed her from her role and forced her into a different one. I FINALLY find the amazing millennial role model manager who’s patient with me while I learn and are a fellow like-minded neurodivergent! I can’t even begin to describe the competency and knowledge level of this individual, FAR surpassing her own superiors because she’s a vet in the industry.

An individual from an OUTSIDE organization has successfully had my manger removed from her role, and I will no longer be reporting to her. I’ve been removed from that location and currently awaiting further location assignment from my company’s incompetent and outwardly corrupt leadership. The current atmosphere feels like I’ve been ordered to remain silent and be grateful no one was terminated, as if holding a gun to someone’s head isn’t a violet act in itself.

This is just one of many jobs that have all been a very similar experience— including 2 jobs on different sides of this major institution, and another local employer that I took to civil rights settlement court and won $7000 after a manager declined any ability to accommodate the disability I disclosed to her and furthermore denied my ability to apply to other better suited internal roles; After denying my last idea she literally looked me in the eyes and said “look at the bright side, at least you’re not in jail or have a substance abuse disorder like other people with ____.” Employment protections in my state died with unions, so corporate America is currently running wild in my state with the help of the shameless politicians they bribe.

I’ve been watching the newer regional growth of greed expand throughout the state I moved to 8 years ago. I’m only in my early 30s, but FUCK I’m tired of this shit. At this point, my life expectancy improves, and perhaps depends, on my complete LACK of giving a fuck without appropriate compensation.

Context:

I work for a medical equipment vendor that was originally hired to fill their liaison role that spends 50% of my time on site, doing absolutely everything I can to cater to our one particular major university med system clinic location; I proactively solve problems for the clinic manager who turns out to be a vicious narcissist that refuses to have anything but her own way. My company is 1 of 3 vendors at this clinic, so the VP level (my boss’ boss) and above all bow down and cater to the clinic manager with an undeniable decade long history of questionable emotional stability. This university medical system IS IN THE MF EPSTEIN FILES MULTIPLE TIMES. Les Wexner is the last clue I’ll give..

Throughout the month of December, I literally built up an email archive of proof— containing all the evidence I would ever need to prove the clinic manager’s level of the incompetence and unnecessary cruelty to me and everyone else around her. Including screen shots of teams message recounts that I would send to my manager describing my live encounters I experienced while I was in clinic. I sincerely enjoyed literally everyone else at that location— I became quite endeared by nearly everyone else from the therapists, physicians, and other vendor employees. It was just this one individual that happened to be a clinic manager.

Then 4 months into the job, finally came the day where I heard that clinic manager scream at my manager over the phone for sticking up for me [confirmed after we debriefed] and said “FINE, I’LL DO YOUR LIAISONS’ JOB FOR YOU,” just before whipping her office door open and rounded the doorpost to where I was in the next room, points her finger at me, stares me down and screams “YOU.” She somehow seemingly produced the therapist whose answer I was waiting on in the middle of this open clinic hallway. She the DEMANDED specific patient case details from both of us without any ability to access our records. The clinic manager was enraged by the fact that I, a new employee to an outside company that’s not received anything but inconsistent expectations from, hadn’t yet asked a therapist about a discharge detail for a second time (I emailed him 2 days ago) because I hadn’t been able to catch him at clinic when he wasn’t with a patient; the clinic manager then began arguing with my boss that I should have interrupted an appointment to ask the therapist about ANOTHER patient.

1 Month Later— my manager was forced by her superiors to tell me that [we] were prohibited from submitting an integrity and compliance complaint to the university to report the clinic manager’s abuse. But we always remained transparent and united with each other, she couldn’t see through the private equity involvement in healthcare bullshit any more than I could. I didn’t submit an official complaint, however I did respond to one of their “anonymous” feedback forms they send to vendors every quarter; I knew true anonymity was very unlikely, I accepted the risks because I was exhausted from all the blatant disrespect imposed by the various layers of public and private leadership throughout the region.

If you made it all the way through my Ted talk and have any guidance on how this disgruntled worker can bad mouth this university that is in the Epstein files, I’d love to hear from you.

Where can I buy cannabis plants?
