Go figure one of the assholes that helped incite Jan. 6th is trying to block something from getting done. I wonder…

Army Corps of Engineers continues to suck

Army Corps reverses pledge to consult with tribes over Rosemont Mine authority | Local news | tucson.com

Moreover, as part of the early January decision, the Corps said it also will not consult with any tribe in the United States in deciding if the agency has authority to regulate a company’s discharges into washes.

What does Trump have to do with any of that?

Btw I wonder how many of us in this thread could get away with insider trading like that with no charges, fines or jail time… :thinking:

I don’t think anyone’s denying that it was “typical politics,” but stuff like that is why people generally have less than favorable opinions of politics. Candidates no one was really all that excited about, who were, considering all that’s happened this year, pretty tone deaf choices, being pushed by a party whose name refers to a system where everyone is supposed to have a voice when their primary process is anything but.

Both of my checks arrived by mail, despite my taxes being filed on time to qualify for the first as direct deposit. My first check arrived quite late last year. Thank goodness I found work after being laid off in March or I’d be hosed.

This is the government, it’s no surprise things are getting bungled.

Add to that the ongoing postal delays as a result of USPS short staffing. I’m receiving stuff shipped via USPS at least a month late currently.

Everything is a bit screwed up as a result of the pandemic, but you’ll probably receive your check in time. If they’re concerned about viral spread indoors, they need to implement mail sorting outdoors until this pandemic passes. Even at reduced capacity, rotate staff from external triage, to internal sort. Keep parcels and people flowing so they’re not indoors where poor ventilation contributes to viral spread.

I wanted to see the same thing for the election. It’s winter here, and not pleasant outside; but it’s a 100 year pandemic - so I’d feel safer under a canopy outdoor with fresh air flowing. Although that may be unique to Ohio, where they required selecting a partisan ballot for mail in votes and as an non-partisan voter I wasn’t willing to take that step.

There’s so much we could be doing in terms of communication and execution that we continue to fail at.

Oh word? :thinking:

‘We simply cannot stay closed until the vaccine hits critical mass,’ Cuomo said Monday during his televised ‘State of the State’ address.

‘The cost is too high. We will have nothing left to open. We must reopen the economy, but we must do it smartly and safely,’ he added.

He even has his own Wikipedia page now!

This is history now.
A thousand years from now, when women will have toppled the rule of men and an amazonian matriarchy of buff women will rule over mankind, people will look upon these historical figures and think: “Damn, people back in the 21th century were all crazy idiots”.

The Cuomo fears the Yang!

Yang’s first name not being Chad is a missed opportunity

Being a big Better Call Saul fan, Saul isn’t stupid; there’s no way he takes a client that isn’t going to pay him.
