Why is Louis DeJoy still in charge of the USPS?
He hasn't resigned, and the other members of the board of governors have not voted to remove him.
They serve 7 year terms, so Biden has not had a chance to appoint a significant number of replacments.
Because every time we start working towards a national ID system, conservatives insist the ID is the first step towards concentration camps.
So, we're left with the de-facto national ID system, SSNs.
The reason for this stupidity is that the cost of identity theft is dumped onto the victims, so the corporations have no reason to care.
No, the reason for this is any time someone proposes a national ID, a whole lot of crazy folks insist it's a scheme to haul people off to concentration camps.
So, we're stuck with using SSNs, the de-facto national ID we already have.
Tell me you know nothing about the FCC without telling me.
Hint: FCC commissioners have 5 year terms. And Biden's first nominee was confirmed in December 2021.
Also, rulemaking takes years. Pai killing it means it will now take years, instead of being close to wrapping up.
It's always the ACs with lengthy posts showing zero understanding of the Constitution.
Regulation of commercial speech is constitutional, and has been ruled so for more than a century.
So good of you to kill all efforts to do anything about this at the FCC.
Thanks to your tireless efforts, I'm frequently warned about the expiration of my car's extended warranty!
The US funds laboratories around the world to study emerging diseases in those areas. That way diseases that may cause a pandemic are found significantly earlier than waiting for it to appear in Kansas.
You might have heard of one that appeared in China recently. A lot of the initial information about it came from a lab in China that received US funding.
Of course, those of you who believe every post of Facebook think that was a bioweapons lab too.
"It had to come from the market" != "therefore it cannot have come from the lab"
Yes, actually it does mean that.
If it was infected lab workers, they would have exposed people in their orbit. It is not possible for them to infect people at the wet market and no one else.
However, it's just as reasonable to say that one of the lab workers went to the market to get dinner and dropped off some COVID.
No, it isn't. Because that lab worker would have also given it to a bunch of other lab workers, their family, the place they actually shop for food (Lab workers are paid well enough to not shop at wet markets) and so on.
The lab worker would have not only exposed people at the market.
Which is why code is starting to mandate heat recovery ventilators.
Sociopaths fundamentally do not care about other humans, nor about other intelligent life. And will use anything they can think of to justify their sociopathy as "normal".
FTFY.
If that takes 773 people, that still leaves well over 17,000 to choose from for the vaccine FOIA request.
The FDA does more than handle FOIA requests. The other employees are not available. They're busy doing things like reviewing other COIVD medications.
I don't need to. Apparently a judge already took care of that.
The judge can't appropriate money, only Congress can. His ruling appropriates money. His ruling is going to be thrown out because it's illegal for the FDA to comply with it.
What I'm trying to show is that it's not unreasonable to request that it be done faster
It is not unreasonable if you have Congress appropriate the funds to hire more FOIA examiners. Without that, no you can't just abandon everything else the FDA does to service one fishing expedition.
IANA NASA Scientist, but you could see which parts of the image move when you move the mirror. Move one at a time and you're able to tell each reflection apart.
That, and they also put actuators on the back of each mirror that lets them change the shape of each mirror as needed.
No, but you can get people from Department A to perform the administrative secretary duties normally performed by the people doing FOIA requests
You realize the people "doing FOIA" only "do FOIA", right?
Here's how many FOIA requests the FDA receives per month: https://www.accessdata.fda.gov...
The last reported month (Sept 2021) was 773 requests, and it was pretty normal.
After any salary raise, you will have less money at the end of the month than you did before.
