So Twitter cut off Donald’s big tweeter,
This guy who always turns up the heater.
It’s his main addiction,
To spread all his fiction.
The withdrawals might give him a seizure.
Part one:Nancy Richards- Stower, employment lawyer
We have a conversation about the rights of employees. This conversation contrasts the rights of private employees vs. the rights of government employees. For private employees, rights are a function of state law, or contracts. For government employees, public policy is important.
