"It's no mystery why they've gone after every watchdog that keeps you from getting scammed, poisoned or maimed, from the FDA to the EPA to the NLRB. They are the kind of people who say, "So long as it was in the fine print, and so long I could foist that fine-print on you, that's a fair deal." For them, caveat emptor is a Latin phrase that means, "Surprise, you're dead."" - @pluralistic

A three-headed jack-in-the-box, sproinging out of a box bearing a Facebook terms of service update notice. Each of Jack's heads has been replaced with the hostile red eye of HAL 9000 from Kubrick's '2001: A Space Odyssey.' Each head wears a top hat. Two of Jack's six hands have been replaced with Facebook 'thumbs up' icons. Each of the three aspects of Jack brandishes a cruel whip.

There is a cave which (was) accessed through a pipe culvert. Due to housing development, it is no longer there. It was a historic record site for cave crayfish and I think cave fish as well. The directions to where the culvert intercepts the cave are accurate, but the bottom of the pipe turns to stone, and it appears the cave was filled in.

This is obviously a horrible idea for many reasons - the selfish reason being "your house may literally cave in" as chucking limestone rock into a solution cave that is carving out limestone is obviously not going to work. In the nearby city there is a law against filling a cave because they learned quickly this is horrible structurally. But this is the county where no such regulations exist.

A classic example of how it may sound good in theory to have fewer regulations and oversight so you can "get shit done easier", but the reality is, regulations are there so you don't fuck shit up. Of course, if one also just ignores rules & regs and does whatever they want to whomever they want, we have a different kind of problem. :blobthinking:

A concrete culvert yellowing with age in a grassy ditch with limestone cobbly stone from a quarry around it. Entering this small 2 foot diameter culvert we can see a small person in a red caving suit and black muck boots. Just their legs and rear.

#JeromePowell said #Fed independence is a matter of #law! [tyvm]

His remarks on Fed independence drew a round of audience applause in Chicago.

He said:

We are protected in the law

Fed independence has broad support across political parties

I don't think the case before #SCOTUS on independent agencies will apply to the Fed

Fed is not going to be influenced by political pressure 👏👏

An Indian Drugmaker, Investigated by ProPublica Last Year, Has Recalled Two Dozen Medications Sold to U.S. Patients
—

FDA inspectors found serious problems at a Glenmark factory in India that manufactured the recalled drugs. Another medication made there has been tied to deaths of U.S. patients.

Whether or not the mass #tariff program is an entirely idiotic economic substitute-for-policy shouldn't be an issue and not just because it's settled/obviously so. It is a *deliberate* tactic, not a mistake, in furtherance of the Giant #Plunder and #Disruption, to collapse The #Public #society, systems, #norms, institutions, and of course, #democracy. Economists and pundits must categorically weigh in with clear messaging to that effect, in the crucial spirit of #counterdisruption, #publicOversight, sensible #regulation, #humanSecurity, #antiTrust, #teslaTakedown, #disloyaltyToFelons, and #peopleFirst policy. Without this focused view we're doomed, is the issue.
