Pure Bottled Water Clubs in the Federal Government

March 21, 2020

| general, government, law, Legal, politic

Generally speaking, the Federal Government does not purchase pure bottled drinking water for Federal employees unless it can be proved that agency drinking water is unsuitable for drinking.

Proof of water quality however, is a long and time consuming process and many agency employees are forced to drink low quality, bad tasting tap or well water in the Washington D.C. metropolitan area.

Nevertheless, many Federal agency employees now purchase pure drinking water by forming water clubs. Water clubs are formed from individual employees with shared interests of maintaining good health and drinking pure water as a start. The club that is formed agrees to purchase bottled water delivery and usually agrees to rent or buy one or more water coolers for club use on the agency premises.

The club gains purchasing power based on the strength of it membership and the members gain the advantage of pure drinking water for … Read More

Is the homeschooling child with special needs entitled to federal educational assistance? This is an important question for parents with homeschooling special needs children or children who may not yet have complete mastery of the English language and parents need assistance in teaching such children a new language.

Under the No Child Left Behind legislation, Congress provided funds to assist public schools to meet the special needs of their students. There are monies available for a host of services, staff, and equipment. But are these benefits provided to parents of home schools? The answer depends on the law of the parents’ state. This is because the U.S. Department of Education recognizes that education is a state and local matter and it leaves it up to the states to define the status of schools. Thus, the U.S. Department of Education will provide assistance to home schools only in those states which … Read More

The Fight to Fix Federal Debt

Our national debt has hit an all time high at $ 14.3 trillion, an amount that can no longer be ignored. Every year, Congress spends more money than they money brought in as income, which leads to a deficit in our national budget. To cover expenses and the spending habits of Congress, money is borrowed and the total national debt is increased. To make matters worse, as the national debt increases the interest on the borrowed money begins adding to the total debt balance, pushing the nation further into financial hardship.

Each day, members of different political parties are lining up to fight for their proposed plan to manage the national debt. Republicans blame overspending on social programs such as Medicare and Social Security, while Democrats believe that under-taxation is to blame for the nation's financial woes. It's clear that Republicans and Democrats don't agree on the best long-term strategy … Read More

The Federal Acquisition Regulation (“FAR”) is found in Title 48 of the Code of Federal Regulations. It consists of 37 Chapters (Chapter 1, some 2,000+ pages, which applies to all agencies, and then various agency supplements plus the Cost Accounting Standards). In all, the FAR is thousands of pages long. Are all of the relevant parts of the FAR incorporated into your government contract? The simple answer is “NO,” but first a bit of background.

A recent Court of Federal Claims Case, James M. Fogg Farms, Inc. v. United States, No. 17-188C (Fed. Cl. Sept. 27, 2017), considered a similar issue. The question in Fogg was whether federal statutes (specifically, an Agriculture Conservation Program in the Farm Bill, title 16 of the U.S. Code) was incorporated in their contract with the Department of Agriculture for that specific program, and whether the government had breached that term in the law. The … Read More

US Medical Marijuana Card

In the United States, there are currently 16 Legal Medical Marijuana States and District of Columbia that currently have laws that have legalized marijuana for medicinal purposes.

The states are:

Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, DC, Delaware, Hawaii, Maine, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont and Washington.

You may acquire a Marijuana Card only if you suffer from a medical condition as prescribed by a doctor.

Although many states have approved medical marijuana as an alternative form of medication for many ailments, the United States Government is still in opposition of the state laws regarding voter approved marijuana.

For example, in a well written article, there is reason to believe that those marijuana patients in the states that currently allow marijuana use for medicinal purposes are in jeopardy of losing their Second Amendment Rights.

Second Amendment Rights are The Right To Bear … Read More

Now the question here is, if England was present in the US and ruled India for around 100 years, how did we escape the Private Central Reserve and have a government Reserve Bank which we proudly call as the Reserve Bank of India.

This revolution happened because a guy submitted his PhD thesis to the chief economist of the UK at that time with title of his thesis as Problem of the Rupee, the Problem and Resolution and the name of this person is Dr. Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar.

The Reserve Bank of India was established on the basis of the resolution points given by Dr. Ambedkar in his PhD thesis.

Playing from the Blue Tees: Women in the Federal Government

Throughout the past decade, workplace diversity issues have allowed organizations to adjust their policies in response to the need for workplace equality in all aspects. As a result of the dynamic political, social and economic changes, some companies have willingly become more inclusive, integrating women, people of color, gays/lesbians, and individuals with disabilities into their workforce at all levels of their organizations. However, others have failed to make this paradigm shift.

The Federal government has failed to see the benefits of a diverse workforce, which is evident by the lack of diversity of the people it serves. Research by the Center for Creative Leadership (2002), show women in business have been required to adapt to a well established hierarchal system built around the strengths of its majority of male players. As women have entered the workplace, they initially try to create only a modest variant in a male dominated workplace. … Read More

Standardization, Uncertainty and Our Federal Government Regulators

Our Federal Government should stay out of regulations that purposely and adversely affect one competitor in industry for the benefit of another – unfortunately with our lobbyists in Washington DC, that's just not what happens. We need standardization for our civilization, but must be very careful how we legislate that, or determine such parameters.

All too often those closest to the power base get their way over their marketplace competition. It's free-enterprise and the consumers who lose, while one group of investors and executives get rich – then are all too willing to return the favor in campaign contributions to keep that gravy train hovering its Maglev Track to future profits.

Not long ago we were discussing this issue at our Think Tank and think tanker Andrew stated:

"The reason why I believe this is such an important issue is a very simple concept. The Federal Government is constantly flip … Read More
