@historyinmemes Getting a dirigible to even moor to the building was immensely challenging. Can you imagine what walking single file down a gangplank, more than 80 stories above the ground would feel like, even on the calmest day?
@BeeKamens@HouseGOP This change imposes term limits on committee members (which may or may not be a good idea), but I do not believe it changes the underlying rules for all House Committees that requires a pro-rated balance of Dem and Rep members.
@Angry_Staffer Not saying I agree with the outcome of this ruling, but isn't the court's role to read the law? The branch of government that should be reading the room is the legislative branch.
@samstein Not yes and not no equals maybe. Your position is EVERY candidate who ever answered maybe went on to run? Not sure the data would support you on that.
@Angry_Staffer Eliminating the tax does NOT stop inflation, it just sets the price expected to continue to rise back. Inflation would continue, just applied to a (slightly) reduced starting point. They assume that over the period of the tax hiatus 80% of the reduction would reach consumers.
@tribelaw It is so easy, after the fact and with the benefit of hindsight, to see the obvious, adopt a superior attitude and find fault (or something more sinister) in those who failed to pick up what was going on as it was happening.
@SpevansEvans@Angry_Staffer I don't understand the linkage drawn between these issues. They are not mutually exclusive. We don't have to choose one over the other. Addressing inflation does not make it impossible to preserve democracy; or vice versa. Both are serious; both need to be addressed.
@AustinSLin Reminds me of college days when we would make grilled cheese sandwiches by wrapping a cheese sandwich in tin foil and iron it. (That was the only use the Iron my mother sent me off to college with ever got put to.)
Attending Engineering Change Lab USA w/ @NSPE VP Rick Guerra in Houston. Interesting insight from Mark Abbot (Canadian ECL): technology & society have been co-evolving throughout ALL of human history. We are just being more aware and getting more intentional about it.
One of the highlights of my year, representing NSPE at the Annual Seabee Ball, celebrating the 178 anniversary of the Naval Facilities Engineering Command & 78th for the Seabees. Thank you, RDM John Korka PE, commander, Naval Facilities Command for including us.
