Soulless corporation gets caught exploiting a worker, than franchise owner fires said employee likely because it made them look bad. Even if not true, sure doesn't help them on that eye test issue.

A Burger King employee who recently went viral for single-handedly running a busy fast-food kitchen has now been fired.
The TikTok video of Nykia Hamilton working alone at a Columbia, S.C., Burger King garnered 23,000 likes after she was seen singlehandedly preparing meals, ringing up customers and cleaning.
A Burger King spokesperson told CTVNews.ca Sunday that Hamilton had worked alone in the restaurant for less than three hours on the day the video was recorded.
“No Team Member should ever be left to run a restaurant alone, even for a short period of time,” the spokesperson wrote. “That’s not how we operate, and we’re disappointed that our policy, which requires more than one Team Member to work per shift, wasn’t followed.”
The mother of three has since been fired, the fast food restaurant confirmed.
According to Burger King, employee terminations are handled by the franchisees who own and operate the restaurant. In this case, the franchisee confirmed that Hamilton was no longer employed due to “repeated attendance issues.”

DOGE Put Critical Social Security Data at Risk, Whistle-Blower Says
DOGE team members uploaded a database with the personal information of hundreds of millions of Americans to a vulnerable cloud server, according to the agency’s chief data officer.
—> DOGE Put Critical Social Security Data at Risk, Whistle-Blower Says“… Mr. Borges did not indicate that the database had been breached or used inappropriately.
But his disclosure stated that as of late June, “no verified audit or oversight mechanisms” existed to monitor what DOGE was using the data for or whether it was being shared outside the agency. That kind of oversight would typically be provided by the agency’s career information security professionals, Mr. Borges said in his account.…”

“…DOGE Put Critical Social Security Data at Risk, Whistle-Blower Says
DOGE team members uploaded a database with the personal information of hundreds of millions of Americans to a vulnerable cloud server, according to the agency’s chief data officer.
“… Mr. Borges did not indicate that the database had been breached or used inappropriately.
But his disclosure stated that as of late June, “no verified audit or oversight mechanisms” existed to monitor what DOGE was using the data for or whether it was being shared outside the agency. That kind of oversight would typically be provided by the agency’s career information security professionals, Mr. Borges said in his account.…”
And his complaint cites an official agency security assessment that described the project as “high risk” and that warned of “catastrophic impact” to Social Security beneficiaries and programs if the database were to be compromised.
“Should bad actors gain access to this cloud environment, Americans may be susceptible to widespread identity theft, may lose vital health care and food benefits, and the government may be responsible for reissuing every American a new Social Security number at great cost,” Mr. Borges’s complaint said. He alleged that DOGE did not involve him in discussions about the project, despite his role as chief data officer, leaving him to piece together evidence of what had happened after the fact.
Included in his account, a copy of which was reviewed by The New York Times, are more than two dozen pages of internal emails, memos and other records to document his claims. Mr. Borges’s complaint said that DOGE’s actions “potentially violated multiple federal statutes” designed to protect government data.…”

There’s a button for that. You’d think a guy that gets off on pushing buttons would take full advantage.
Gotta love how Rubio just sits there nowadays like it's all part of some plan to save America and that we citizens just can't see it yet.
No, Little Marco. We get it. You chose personal gain over democracy. We can all see it, you little weenie. Karma's gonna be a bitch.

Little Marco is just biding his time and hoping Trump doesn't declare himself dictator for life in 2028. He's looking at his research notes to figure out how to beat JD Vance and Donald,Jr. in the 2028 GQP primary ( assuming there will be one )
