Thinking a little of ways that HUD could help diminish the requirement of expensive staff, some trash cans are overflowing in open spaces of national parks - why not offer wheelbarrows to carry the trash to a common bonfire site where the homeless can gather to sing folk songs to each other until they are asleep. This would save the cost of ownership and operating a heavy duty truck. If there are 3 parks in each state on the mainland that would save 144 times this expense while promoting job skills they could take to the next place once they save up another deposit.

Remake most of the drug commercials, after all when the side effects are acute allergic reactions to the marvel medicine then it is time to put street drugs to the test, experience will let this person decorate a new crib because the shortage of narcan will become bad news for the tweakers who go too far.

Imagine air force 1 being staffed by the homeless, you would see Mrs and Mr President waving to the crowd while the streaming cookout smoke leaks from the door at the top of the steps, it you look at the 4th window back someone put up a Redd Fox poster of him hollering at Lamont to conceal the fake news reports forming before the departure.

TSA is now staffed by displaced HUD residents, they learned how to live in the airport from a few movies and have learned new languages to the surprise of airline staff, they are willing to work lots of overtime hoping air force 1 will come to where they are at to get the good food.

The EPA has stumbled back to oblivion and replicars are everywhere, front wing Windows are tilted open in the milder climates, smooth upholstery fabric is very common, when you lift the trunk lid you can get groceries for a family of 6 or 7 with tennis rackets and shoes too, when you travel over 5 hours your kids can lay down to sleep without needing to put feet outside, and if you had a puncture in a tire you would have a spare tire to drive on with tools to change it.

City operated refuse trucks have snow plow mounts saving the cost of duplicate vehicles, these pseudo staffers have saved so much money the buildings they once lived in have been converted to car showrooms, bowling alleys, clothing stores, and the occasional legal office.

Happy New Year

Every time the Govt "shuts down" (i.e. the 10% or so of non-essential folks), the public sees it as more and more of a stunt, because the impact on most of us is so minimal. Sure, it's horribly annoying and potentially a financial burden to those who are furloughed or working without pay, but it's happened several times in last decade. So anyone in a "non-essential" Govt job should be planning for this now. It's not an unforeseeable event any longer. The phrases "safe Govt job", "guaranteed Sec 8 rent," etc. should be disappearing from people's vocabularies, hopefully. If not, I don't have much sympathy for them as they're not paying attention to what's going on in the world.

I think there are more than 10% of the Govt that would qualify as non-essentially (caveat: I think the IRS IS essential and should be back at work now, but that's another post). Maybe this "shut down" (minus the IRS) could continue indefinitely....and would the other 90% of us notice in a year's time? *shrugs --173.20.xxx.xxx

He's speaking tonight. I think they will use an emergency declaration based on the drugs coming in. ICE caught some folks last month with enough Fentanyl to kill us all. Not sure if they were going to drop it on us with crop dusters or put it in water supplies or food. I cry ever day for the little policeman who watched Cops as a boy and left his beautiful Fiji to come and help us. --73.248.xxx.xxx

Really? She believes that large amounts of Fentanyl being brought in are to be used in "crop dusters" or poisoning our "water supplies or food." She goes straight to either terrorists or crazy conspiracy theories.

The reality is that large amounts of Fentanyl are brought in for making drugs. The funny thing is that she even mentions the drugs coming in. So why the heck does she make the illogical leap from using Fentanyl for drug production (which is the main thing it is used for when smuggled in -- to be mixed with heroin or cocaine) to terrorists suddenly using it to drop it on us from planes or poison our food/water supplies??

Sorry, but it's like she gets half of the facts and then runs straight to tin-foil-hat land every time...

because John MI, it was enough to kill us all not enough to make drugs to sell on the street. The actual news was that it was many pounds, many many pounds. Too many pounds to risk carrying all that in here to make some street drugs. It's made in China. You will love this one John. North Korea was going to drop three or four radioactive devices on us in July. Un had been planning this since at least 2013. There are news articles on line about it showing him in front of maps planning where he is going to drop the radioactive "gifts" that NOKO was going to send. Somebody tipped off our government and Trump and Pompeo got their fast. The problem was the war games off the coast of Korea and Japan. It was killing fish, making them inedible, poisoning the water and just generally terrorizing everyone in the area. All the missile launchings and threats were because of the damage the war games were doing. Exploding something under water kills fish and blows up their swim bladder so they can only float helplessly and die. By the time they get to shore they are rotted so no one can eat them. NOKO people are starving. Let me make it simple. Someone comes to your town and blows up all the supermarkets and reataurants. So our Pres and Mike Pompeo listened to what they said, stopped the war games and the missiles stopped flying and we are not buryig our children and pets right now from radiation poisoning while we vomit and lose our hair from radiation poisoning. You, me and them owe our president a huge debt of gratitude. --73.248.xxx.xxx

Vee,

Clever!

My main man's son died recently from fentanyl. Sheriff says a lot of it came to our city recently from Mexico, not the US. (according to the Mexican traffickers he has arrested locally)

In 2017 12 local folks died from drug overdose.

In 2018 30 died.

The police are using 30+ narcan each month in our city of 45,000.

Shutdown: I say learn to do with the 92% still operating like the rest of us.

John, you did hear of it but you don't watch the news all day like my retired self. Mike Pompeo, our Secretary of State, said in a brief interview that Kim Jung Un was "within weeks" of hitting us. Did you miss all the rocket firings aimed at Japan and toward Hawaii? The media doesn't cover it because they are too busy with the Hate Trump liturgy. They don't want to give him any credit. I don't have a friend at CIA. I have a friend at NSA and some day I may be able to speak of this. Not now. He announced the problem. News articles appeared that Un had been planning on hitting us since 2013. Google Austin bombing and North Korea. He planned to hit DC, Austin Tx, Seattle and Hawaii. I looked at several of the articles and the 2014 ones were in the Washington Post I believe. They are all online. Around the same time, someone online mentioned that there is an unguarded corridor between NOKO and the lower 48. I will keep that location to myself. Now we find out that Russia has a stealth bomber and they are now in Venezuela. So maybe NOKO was going to get them to drop some radioactive devices on us? The President and Pompeo risked their lives by going to NOKO. You saw what happened to Otto Warmbier, or maybe you didn't since you seem to be out of touch with the news.

OK, the statistics on the Fentanyl issue came out this morning and 1,357 pounds were interdicted by ICE in 2018. And John, it only takes 2 milligrams to kill a person. I'll break that pounds into mg for you some time today. My neighborhood had 9/11 terrorists in it. The first sign was Arabic graffiti on walls and fences. Nine people, plus a lot of support system people, took out over three thousand of our citizens. We now have people bringing in pounds and pounds of fentanyl. Why would I NOT think they are planning to kill or sicken a lot of people? --73.248.xxx.xxx

That is alot of fentanyll. However to distribute it to the entire population would require contamination of our air or water. Which would cause the drug to be severely delituted, thereby decreasing the dose to probably such a minute level that only the sickest, weakest of us might, be affected. And even then it would have probably just exasperated a pre existing condition. It is being brought in for illegal drug use. --97.32.x.xxx

In the same period that they seized 1357 pounds of Fentanyl, they also seized over 67,000 pounds of Methamphetamine and almost 50,000 pounds of Cocaine.

This isn't about poisoning our water supplies or air. It's pretty clearly about drugs.

John, what do you not understand about the tendency of a tiny bit, 2 mg, of Fentanyl being all it takes to kill a person. It's highly toxic. I suspect the other two you mention, not so much. --73.248.xxx.xxx

What do you not understand that an incredible amount of Fentanyl is used for making drugs in this country??

It is mixed with heroin or cocaine in tiny amounts on a regular basis. THAT is why I listed some of those other numbers for you -- to give you some context. 50,000 pounds of Cocaine were confiscated! If you're mixing that with Fentanyl -- even in tiny amounts -- it still takes a LOT of Fentanyl.

Maybe we need to mail letters to the Democrats in the House. Maybe we need to swamp their offices with good old snail mail. Once they have piles of it in their offices they will see that we want that wall to keep out the massive amount of drugs coming in here. It only has to be a business envelope so it doesn't trigger an explosive search in their mailroom. Just a business size letter with a piece of paper inside with big letters on it. Build the Wall.
