[image: image.png] opening thoughts: When you want to stack agencies with cronies and or steer contracts to friends, first think u do is get rid of inspectors generals. Yep! fits in perfectly with the Trump corruption agenda. So where are the democrats, no one has a clue to what the inspectors generals do unless you tell the Carl Sagan (1934-1996) in “The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark”, 1995: “I have a foreboding of an America in my children’s or grandchildren’s time — when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the key manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and whats true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness. The dumbing down of America is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media, the 30-second sound bites (now down to 10 seconds or less), the lowest common denominator programming, credulous presentations on pseudoscience and superstition, but especially a kind of celebration of ignorance.” part one: How Trump’s Deportation Plans Could Blow Up the Food System and Increase Migrant Labor.
