They are normalizing violence and a disregard for laws. Who is going to stop them? That's the question.

Beautiful.

Trying to get a little recreational reading in. Yet, still can't escape the effects of the efficient incompetency department. Sigh.

Any room on your schedule for a commission?

Do you take commissions?

My desk this morning. Slight breeze, good internet (from the work trailer), and no interruptions. Getting caught up on emails.

All the Feds being forced out are getting screwed by this. Guess that's part of the plan.

Some "expenses" are investments.

Visited the shipyard last week. New hot rivets alongside old hot rivets. New coatings underway.

Went out with Tyson.

Saw a lot of them back when I went horseback riding in the hills. I assumed their presence wasn't an omen 😉

The "elites" MAGAs should be worried about, that don't care about them (or any of us, actually) are the billionaires who are taking advantage of them and an entire nation.
E Ontis (@e-pidgeon.bsky.social) reply parent
60% are against it. We no longer have representation. All is a foregone conclusion based on a select group of billionaires desires - elites.
E Ontis (@e-pidgeon.bsky.social) reply parent
Good idea 💡

Gee, when the National Archives(properly) releases information this doesn't happen. But you know... pesky procedures.

Ok. Alliance is now offering annual, but I am suspicious.

Darn spell check: Stanford, Crocker, Aster, Rockefeller, and... Carnegie)
E Ontis (@e-pidgeon.bsky.social) reply parent
Remember when the uber rich of the 20th century (Stanfords, Crockers, Ayers, Rockefellers) developed a conscience in the early 20th century? Can we skip the Great Depression and fast forward to that?

The problem is that our justice system is designed for addressing working class criminals. White collar crime has always been a slap on the wrist. Time to to fess up and do something about it?

Why do you choose to show a picture of him that looks like he's a cognizant authority rather than the feckless shill that he is?

Please take it back. PG&E was stellar when it was a public utility. Now it's a liability.

The way things are going I'm considering getting a burn phone for traveling abroad. That said, looking for recommendations on travel insurance. Do you get it, annual or trip-by-trip, or?
E Ontis (@e-pidgeon.bsky.social) reply parent
Agreed. A steady diet of comics and movies that depict people as helpless until some superhero shows up hasn't helped. Superheroes are the people who organize to do something about problems.

So, for sale?
E Ontis (@e-pidgeon.bsky.social) reply parent
Catch up. That was last week. Now they want to review every single contract, no matter what the amount. Projects that have taken three years and reviews by fund managers, experts and lawyers... are stalled.
E Ontis (@e-pidgeon.bsky.social) reply parent
Hope they are required to disclose that it is lab grown.

They do know that you can look up the pay of any federal employee online, right? It's already out there. Free. Online.

The press has failed in reporting on this. Purchase cards used by agencies are essential for supplies and services such as maintaining fire extinguishers, buying toilet paper, and acquiring parts for equipment repairs.
E Ontis (@e-pidgeon.bsky.social) reply parent
When is someone going to let the public know about the implications regarding the credit card shutdown?

The current administration has tripled bureaucracy and introduced layers of micromanagement I never thought possible

Someone posted weeks ago that they'd be fine with being forced out and then rehired at a higher rate. Guess what's happening. Exactly that. FDA is having to recoup their staffing losses at a higher cost and... with additional HR expenses.

Now is when downloading and saving info is a civic duty. Remember in 2016 when NASA opened their archives for download? Universities lined up to divy up the task.

Probably because the VA posted social media about... oh no 😮 diversity. Yikes. Oh now. The snowflakes on the right are in a panic. Basically.

Where are the US Marshall's when you need them and... whose call are they going to answer?

Now is the time to remember that, like the military, US Civil Servants have less rights than you. We swear an oath, and are restricted in what we can say. Ball... is in your court.

Dude. Get over yourself. It's just a photo opp for him. You realize that, right? He's going to dim your light and marginalize your gal. Good luck with that.

Thank you. I tell people: you don't like the law (that We The People) passed, then change it. But do not direct me to ignore the law in favor of political or monetary gain. I took an oath. Period.
E Ontis (@e-pidgeon.bsky.social) reply parent
That depends on our citizens.
E Ontis (@e-pidgeon.bsky.social) reply parent
Talk to your political reps. Do not underestimate that. They need your input to provide statistical support. Americans seem to have forgotten how to work the system. Outrage isn't enough, and social media is a tool... not the destination.

Visitor attractions, recreational beach, waterfront promenade, public event center, visitor center, museum, research center, library, collections repository for multiple parks, boathouse w/boat building programs, wooden small boats collection, and a fleet of National Historic Landmark ships?

Let's play a game. How many people do you think it takes to run a park with 3.5 million visitors a year that includes what is posted in the comments.

How's it going at work? Let's just say... I've run out of chocolate. Also, hot tip: before you order everyone to be "in office" check to see if you have space and desks for them.
