We rarely get pure, unalloyed comedic perfection with perfect morals and ethics, cynical and supremely principled. We got it with The Princess Bride, Vale Rob Reiner you absolute god.

In tracking contracts for the Everglades camp, it's been deeply unsettling to see the names of all the emergency management professionals and companies involved.
A system meant to help folks through the worst days of their lives pivoted to instead orchestrate the worst days of people's lives.

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

This level of disregard for informed disaster management is horrific
NOAA’s National Weather Service holds the federal responsibility for tsunami warnings, and has historically been a primary supporter of seismic data collection in Alaska
NOAA cancels longstanding funding for seismic data collection crucial to tsunami warning systems
The Alaska Earthquake Center has long provided NOAA with seismic data for tsunami monitoring and warning purposes. That work will wind down in November, after the federal agency said it can no longer fund the contract.

Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net
