they're talking about salaries
do you have any idea what kind of decent paychecks they actually pull at the US Army Corps of Engineers?
The whole country is heading straight for a 3 PM crash, mark my words.
Anyway, I noticed they’ve folded under public pressure—or let's be honest, just because the morning news cycle decided to go after them—and shut down the Office of Regulatory Efficiency Coordination.
Now, look, I'm not saying that office was some groundbreaking institution, but I happen to know they were deep into prepping paperwork to snag some federal funding from the EU, specifically through an IPA grant. And we're talking real money here, maybe around a million bucks.
But hey, whatever. When the big headlines say something is useless, the Federal Government just pulls the plug.
Honestly, I'm kind of dreading what's going to hit the stands this Saturday, but at least we'll get a clear preview of the Federal Government's next moves for the week.
Folks, I swear, this country is starting to fall apart at the seams.
Just because you see squid everywhere along the coast doesn't mean they aren't thriving in other oceans too... and honestly, thinking fried calamari is the absolute peak of our culinary game is a bit of a stretch, don't you think?
I remember there were even those little roadside stands trying to sell roasted chorizo, but they just couldn't make it work and went bust.

Nah, it's true though, we don't have anything that's truly "ours"... if you can actually think of something uniquely American, let me know
Maybe just stick to pizza?
So, yeah... I went from being a total Europhile to a complete skeptic. It’s not even about them taking our money or losing our local flavor—I don't care if we can't make our own homemade bacon grease anymore—it's just that, because of what I do for a living, I've finally seen through the whole colorful facade of it all. It's all just one big, flashy lie.
I was really just trying to make a general point that this "imported" stuff isn't any better than what we grow right here at home... everywhere you look, it's just the same pile of nonsense.
Regarding Interpol... man, that's just an organization packed with overpaid, bloated bureaucrats (at least from what I've seen regarding those folks in Lyon) who landed cushy jobs way more sophisticated than those small-town politicians back home in D.C.
People like them thrive on these artificial monetary constructs because, let’s be real, there isn't a single shred of actual economic logic that justifies feeding them or paying their salaries for the results they actually deliver.
That's why the whole notion of reporting the global elite to Interpol—treating them like some kind of honest, independent, or autonomous body—is honestly just childish. It belongs right up there with finger painting or making DIY Easter cards in preschool.
