Something developed and pushed by tech bros exhibits bad behavior you say?

Two thoughts…
I imagine fire happens in red states, but now that he’s in, and will try to stay in, who cares? (from his point of view)
And…
If everyone in the forest service is laid off, who’s gonna rake the forests?

I like your thinking here. Are there a few billionaires on the right side of history who could also join forces?

In the second image the Badger has just been loaded and preparing to sail.
I believe railroad car service was in operation from 1953 to 1983. After a hiatus and uncertain future, it was rededicated (in 1992) in as a non-railroad car ferry.

When I saw it back in the late-70s, it was sailing from Milwaukee on the Wisconsin side, where these two pictures were taken.
In the first image, Chesapeake & Ohio EMD SW9 number 5091 (built in 1953) looks on near the C&O ticket office as the car ferry Badger prepares to steam across Lake Michigan.

That's okay, we don't need experts working in that agency with the weather turning increasingly deadly and unpredictable. Not at all. JFC.

You don't know how much it upsets me to realize (with your help) I spelled her name wrongly. Kinda ruins the whole deal.

All we need are some Rs to come to their senses. But I've been thinking that for eight or nine years now.

JFC, people said he’d rob the country blind, but this is a little too on the nose isn’t it?

I’m just hopin’ he goes too far too fast and actually pisses off the cult and they rebel en masse.

I need at least a little bit of hope for chrissake.

I wouldn’t mind cutting their budget, don’t get me wrong, I just want to see those two thwarted, seriously.

Is this a bridge too far though? There’s gotta be an army of lobbyists working for the military industrial complex that will do all they can to protect the status quo. (Although I just read that Rs in congress are actually scared for their lives if they buck the wishes of dear leader.)

Spot on, his statement is absurd.

Not into "leaving it to the states" any longer?
Or just certain things?

At this point, I'll take it. Wouldn't it be something if he rose up and got a following of middle-of-the-road Rs and took over the party? I imagine something drastic would happen to nip that in the bud, unlikely as it is in any case.

The leopard thing is too on the nose here. "Sad" also pops to mind. But it is a bummer to read this and know that it's happening to thousands of people.

We need people *who voted for this person* to get angry enough to demand that their representatives do something to stop what is happening. Our country is in their hands, simple as that. Obviously, a slim majority isn't going to do it, we need a true groundswell to combat the theft and destruction.

Ken Burns said the national parks was one our best ideas, that this one thing that everyone (on both sides of he political spectrum) could agree upon. We need people who voted for this person to get angry enough to demand that their representatives do something to stop this.

This and all the rest.

I’d say the leopard thing but things are too serious. If T and M piss off enough people who voted for him, maybe we all can turn this thing around. Your uncle needs to speak with Rs in the house and senate, they’re not gonna listen to me.

The money went to the normal places, it’s the lower taxes (begining in the Reagan era) that wrecked things.

This is what I was thinking: these corps had it pretty swell lately, wouldn’t THEY want to put the breaks on all the bad stuff goin’ down (that will lead to lots of folks not being able to purchase their products)?

And when it comes to pandemics, won’t it kill them too—or is their panic rooms that well stocked?
