IRS Backtracks, Edits Job Posting Seeking Agents Willing to 'Use Deadly Force' After Online Outrage_我的网站

A |     Renee 综合          据英文《先驱报》报道，新西兰近期超过九成的新冠感染是由一种高度突变的Omicron变异引起的。         Advertise with us          新西兰环境科学研究所(ESR)最新监测显示，在通过废水采样检测到的新冠病毒中，JN.1变种占93%，在医院测序样本中占四分之三。

B |     The IRS deleted a job listing seeking “new special agents” who are “willing to use deadly force, if necessary” from their website, following a fierce backlash on social media Wednesday–only to reupload it within a day with the offending portion removed.,The IRS has removed the line "Carry a firearm and be willing to use deadly force, if necessary" from their IRS Criminal Investigation Special Agent listing following the fiasco yesterday.Archived here: https://t.co/vBy6lB841RActive link: https://t.co/uvwbrAkIit pic.twitter.com/vNmcSXuD7w— Ford Fischer (@FordFischer) August 11, 2022,Per the now-updated page on the IRS website, “IRS Special Agents are considered the premier financial investigators for the Federal government.”,“Special Agents are duly sworn law enforcement officers who are trained to ‘follow the money,’” the listing says, warning that “no matter what the source, all income earned, both legal and illegal, has the potential of becoming involved in crimes which fall within the investigative jurisdiction of the IRS Criminal Investigation.”,The posting sparked a wave of condemnation from ordinary citizens and influential politicians alike, including Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), who took to Twitter to express his opposition to the proposed new IRS jobs:,“HELL NO. Every Republican should pledge we WILL NOT FUND these 87k armed new IRS agents who will target the American people.”,HELL NO.Every Republican should pledge we WILL NOT FUND these 87k armed new IRS agents who will target the American people. https://t.co/BmKZVjVdNx— Ted Cruz (@tedcruz) August 10, 2022,Funding for the special agents in question is likely to be drawn from a huge budget boost the IRS anticipates, with Democrats in the House set to approve the so-called “Inflation Reduction Act.”,Along with around $430 billion the Biden administration says will address climate change and extend Affordable Care Act subsidies, the new spending bill promises to pump $80 billion into the IRS over the next ten years - more than doubling the size of the agency with over 87,000 new positions. According to the now-updated job listing, many of them will be armed; one of the “key requirements” is that applicants “be legally allowed to carry a firearm.”,The ad in question was first noticed by documentarian Ford Fischer, who pointed out in a subsequent post on Twitter that, by June, the criminal division of the IRS had spent more on ammunition in the previous three months than they typically spent in an entire year in the recent past.,Fischer told Sputnik News he finds it “fascinating” that “following the attention [he] brought to this job listing, the page went down for a while, and now with it back online, the ‘willingness to engage in deadly force' line has been removed.”,“The reality is that while perhaps finding some renewed relevance in today's news cycle about the IRS, this listing isn't particularly unusual,” Fischer notes. “The agency has been spending more than $600,000 annually on ammunition, which has been charted out for at least the past three administrations.”,“What's new is that while the left (to be clear, I mean real leftists - not Democrats) have been fairly adamant in their opposition to law enforcement at all levels, the Republicans seem to find opposition when the politics line up. For example, they currently are deeply critical of the FBI, and IRS.”,Opposition to the spending bill authorizing the IRS expansion has come almost entirely from the GOP. A recent analysis by House Republicans found that 60% of new audits expected to be unleashed by the doubling in IRS personnel will fall on those making $75,000 or less a year. But Democrats claim those making less than $400,000 will not be targeted by the new IRS agents.,The IRS reportedly did not respond to inquiries by Fox News or the National Review about its removal of the job posting.。

C |          新冠建模师Michael Plank教授说，自从Omicron的BA.5分支在2022年年中造成冬季中期的那波疫情以来，还没有一个单一的变体造成过如此大的影响。         JN.1首次在新西兰出现是去年10月，截至12月初，JN.1约占十分之一的病例，到12月底至少占一半的病例，然后成为驱动新西兰夏季病例激增的主要变体。         JN.1是新冠病Omicron BA.2.86变异株的第二代亚分支，也是BA.2.86变异株中具有较强传播优势的一个亚分支。         据此前报道，JN.1这一变种9月在美国最先被检测出来，随后迅速成为美国等国最常见的病毒株。去年12月底，世界卫生组织正式将其确定为“受关注变种”。         JN.1的一个“后代”——JN.1.4，已经在新西兰和海外被检测到，但预计不会带来严重影响。         Plank说，“尽管这是18个月来我们第一次遇到一种不同的病毒，但它对健康的影响并不像BA.5那样大。虽然它显然具有增长优势和一定程度的逃逸免疫特性，但它不会像我们过去看到的变异那样引起重症。”          他表示，出现这种差异的部分原因是自2022年以来感染该病毒的人数增加了。         奥塔哥大学进化病毒学家Jemma Geoghegan博士说，JN.1在世界其他地方也同样占主导地位，这表明新冠病毒没有像其他呼吸道疾病那样形成季节性模式。         图片来源：Unsplash          不过，尽管监测显示，新西兰各地的新冠感染率仍在上升，但有迹象表明，新西兰已经过了疫情高峰期，全国的住院率和废水检测呈下降趋势。         卫生部最新更新显示，截至上周日午夜，住院病例数为245例，约为1月中旬的一半。         针对Omicron毒株的最新加强剂已经在其他地方使用，但尚未在新西兰上市。不过专家表示，目前的疫苗在预防重症方面仍然有效。         相关阅读：          疫情通报：过去一周新西兰新增5555例          1月30日疫情通报：过去一周新西兰新增5757例          疫情通报：过去一周新西兰新增7019例，夏季疫情见顶了吗？          疫情通报：病例数上升！过去一周新西兰新增8040例          疫情通报：过去一周新西兰新增6558例，44人死亡          新变种来了！新西兰第五波疫情或持续数月          注：本文为编译/原创，欢迎转发分享；但严禁复制等未经授权的非法使用。违反上述声明者，本网将追究其相关法律责任。使用授权请联系[email protected]。         chineseherald.co.nz All Rights Reserved 版权所有          (责编：twinkle)          来源 -          相关内容                2024首个QV房价指数：房市在“缓慢但坚定的复苏”           AT无视成本大把花钱：一个交通项目建28个人行横道           火车频繁取消，奥克兰市长怒斥交通部门大佬：都是借口！           还能65岁退休吗？以后领新西兰退休金要先收入测试？           疫情通报：过去一周新西兰新增5878例           总理宣布：本月下旬废除前政府的这项法案！           政府部长喊话领失业补贴的人：不要躺平，否则……           您有一份邀请函待接收！国会议员邀您共庆龙年。
