A trillion dollars per year. When you think about the money involved in defense, won't a multi-billionaire be the better choice?

Quote:Originally posted by second: Quote:Originally posted by 6ixStringJack: 1. GWB steamrolled because he was still riding the sinking coattails of 9/11 that saw him be the most popular US President for the most extended period of time in modern history. Before the 2004 election, several things were known about Bush: 1) There were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, but WMDs were Bush's justification for war. 2) The U.S. Army was torturing prisoners at Abu Ghraib prison. Iraqi civilians were being killed by the hundreds of thousands. 3) Osama bin Laden had not been captured, but his capture was Bush's justification for war in Afghanistan. Bin Laden was in Pakistan, the next country to the East of Afghanistan, where Obama would kill him on May 2, 2011. 4) Bush had not finished the last two years of his service in the Texas Air National Guard, avoiding service in Vietnam, but President Bush would go to enormous lengths to claim he had not gone AWOL, smearing everyone who said differently. Bush did not fulfill his obligations and should have been ordered to active duty in Vietnam. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_W._Bush_military_service_controversy#Six-year_service_obligation Despite points 1, 2, 3, and 4, the worthless assholes who would become Trumptards voted for Bush.

Democrats were crushed by the NeoCons because of 9/11. All of those NeoCons just walked across the aisle and announced to the world they were voting for Harris. This trash that passes as journalism you have here is nothing but textbook false equivalency. The kind that AI will be doing in your place soon. -------------------------------------------------- Trump is fine. He is also your current President.

Quote: SECOND Signym, you are not Erin Brockovich. Personal injury lawyers could do what your department would never attempt. But then the lawyers became fabulously wealthy, unlike employees in your department who get paid the same piddling amount whether they do a half-ass job or nothing about pollution. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erin_Brockovich#Pacific_Gas_&_Electr ic_litigation
Quote: SECOND: Bringing this back around to the tax code, IRS employees make exactly the same piddling amount whether they do a half-ass job or nothing about tax cheating. Unsurprisingly, that is why tax cheating runs to a trillion dollars per year.

Quote:Originally posted by 6ixStringJack: All I know is that I've got enough microplastics inside of me to melt down and make a LEGO Millennium Falcon when I get cremated, so somebody at the EPA hasn't been doing their fucking job. SIGNY: So, are you for or against regulations? SIX: I am not.
Quote: SIX: Simply because I don't trust anybody in control of enforcement. Especially not when our system of government can theoretically change overnight every 4 years with a whole new group of people who handle things entirely different than the last group did. How long has the EPA been around? Name one thing they've actually done for anybody other than make manufacturing anything in the USA so cost prohibitive that we just don't do that anymore unless we use more taxpayer dollars to subsidize the work.
Quote: SIX: And our government's go-to excuse is they aren't spending enough money and they need to keep growing these agencies to enforce laws that are already on the books. And they just keep passing more laws on top of the ones they already aren't enforcing. They're really just there to put the screws to somebody they don't like at this point, when it's so easy to just look the other way when you don't have a problem with them. It's another shiny example of how something sounds like a good idea until you have human beings in control of it. These crooked fucks have poisoned everything and continue to poison everything if the money is right.
Quote: SIX: I'm more worried about them outlawing half the poison they put directly in our foods. Take a look at a bowl of Fruit Loops in the UK compared to ours. Our bowl of Fruit Loops looks radioactive compared to theirs with all those food dye colors that are banned everywhere else in the world because they're poison.

IMHO fatalism is just an excuse. We're ALL gonna die of something, SIX. If you truly believe it doesn't make any difference what you do, then just stop taking your insulin.
Quote:Or recognize and accept that you're rationalizing, for whatever reason. You'll think about/do something about some things but not other things of equal importance ... and be honest about it.
Quote:FWIW everyone I met from other regional, state, and Federal agencies was an intelligent, honest, and diligent worker. Of course, I only met tech people, and only up to about the manager level. If their agencies were like ours, the higher you went the more crooked it got, and once politicians were involved...

But if you cross t's and dot i's you can get all the way thru. I did.It is straightforward to fire people on construction projects. Suppose you don't, and I have seen projects where they weren't fired because of softhearted concerns about the families of worthless craftsmen and subcontractors who couldn't keep a promise even if they tried hard. In those cases, the projects bog down, go years beyond schedule, and are far over budget, which happens all the time on government-run projects.

Quote: Since the start of the Biden-Harris Administration, USDA has invested more than $2.7 billion through REAP in 9,901 renewable energy and energy efficiency improvements. Almost 7,000 of these projects were funded by over $1 billion provided by the Inflation Reduction Act.

Quote:Originally posted by 6ixStringJack: No real movement in the House seats today. California is slow walking their last 4. I think it's pretty safe to say the Alaska seat goes Republican and the Maine seat goes Democrat. There may be a recount in Maine it's so tight. 99% counted right now and they still haven't called it with a .5% lead by the Democrat. I think Republicans will get 1 of the last 4 California seats (D13). Virtual tie in another one of them with 50% each at 90% of the vote counted in District 45. Republicans should have 220. Maybe they eek out 221.
