Then Congress should have established it as a Congressional Committee. They never had the authority to give their power to the Executive branch by playing a shell game with Constitutional powers.

I'm not arguing that it wasn't intended to be independent, I'm saying that Congress never had the power to do it. They wanted to avoid the hassle and electoral ramifications of making these regulatory decisions, so they tried to pass it off to the Executive. They need to get back to doing their job.

I know what it means, I just don't see how it can possibly be Constitutional.

"The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America."

Uhm, no. That third quote there means the President can say, "I need a Chief of Staff, so I'll create the position and hire someone to fill it.", that the Judiciary can say, "we need clerks, let's hire some", and the heads of agencies (who work for the President) can decide they need deputies to help run things, and hire them. And, as they are Executive staff, fire them.

Anyone who works for the President but needed to be confirmed by the Senate, can be fired by the President. Ambassadors, Cabinet officials, etc., all serve at the pleasure of the President. The Judiciary is a separate branch of government.

Most importantly though is Article II of the Constitution - "The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America." That pretty clearly means what it clearly means.

According to the Constitution there is an explicit hierarchy in the Executive branch. Article II begins: The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America.

It does not say, "The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America, or whatever agencies Congress sees fit to create".

When did you think Congress handed its regulatory authority over to the Executive branch? I'll give you a hint: it wasn't anytime after 2000.

What? Is that satire?

US Constitution, Article II Section 1 begins: "The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America."

That's the civil service.

It has also restricted those powers and rejected delegations. "Humphrey's Executor", the decision underpinning independent agencies, has always been controversial.

I can't see a way to call Constitutional a quasi-legislative, quasi-judicial, agency ostensively under the executive branch but not under the control of the person in whom all executive power is vested. How can that not violate the separation of powers? It is very nearly the creation of a 4th branch of government.

Black Friday was bigger in raw dollars because of hyperinflation but overall units of everything sold were down.

Traditionally we get 8 years of Democrats fixing Republican malfeasance. We didn't get that this time we barely got 4 years and two of those for the Republicans were heavily sabotaging anything the Democrats did.

So buckle up it is going to be a rough three years and it's entirely possible Trump's getting a third term.

That's the idea, but in practice they just become shackled to the political whims of the bureaucrats.

What policies to implement is a political question. What makes for good policy is a political question. Political questions need to be answered by those the People elect to answer them, not bureaucrats accountable to no one.

Regulations are supposed to come from Congress, not the Executive branch. The executive branch enforces them, under the direction of the President. That's what the Constitution says.

I know that anecdotes aren't data, but I've never seen a properly installed GitLab, except for the official GitLab.com. Every instance I've worked with so far (about 4, spread across 3 different organizations and 2 decades) suffers from occasional random timeouts when authenticating.

Right wing politics do not result good economic outcomes. It's basically trickle down economics combined with corruption.

So they have to give their voters something. Some reason to keep voting for them even as the economy collapses.

Anti-science and anti-vaxx are the solutions they came up with. You might not have a job or a home but nobody's going to tell you how to raise your kids and nobody's going to make you get the fauci ouchie.

For self-hosting, try Fogejo instead. It should be a lot easier to host and administer, and has a nice "smoothness" to it. (I used to use it back when it was still Gitea...)

Perhaps it's my software engineering bubble, but I have to simplify my communication style for people who speak English as a second language. So many speak English as a second language. I would have guessed that would discourage odd phrasing. Additionally, texting on a phone is painful, so one would assume that would encourage simplification across all languages. I write 10x as often as I speak...to coworkers, extended family, etc. Even with my wife, I am texting her as many sentences as we say to each other...mostly because we're often at different locations due to work or us separating for kid activities (one is with the oldest while the other is taking the youngest somewhere or vice versa).

And another protection that is failing you. Stuff like this is critical to keep capitalism functioning and it's all being torn down.

It's become painfully obvious that the billionaires don't like capitalism and don't intend to keep it around.

That would be the time to start asking what that means for you personally.

If society is built around tipping, and youbknow that, then you're "an individual" that punches down if you don't. You're literally the baddie. That is unless.yoh limit yourself to exclusively purchase from.establishments that you know for a fact pay a living wage. Do you?
