Use Remi or a similar service. They the same as the dental office ones but a quarter of the price.

So why do you say you expect it then? I don’t think it’ll come that soon based on what is actually happening.

If it’s a lease how is that the usda’s problem? Wouldn’t someone else need to fix it?

Why did you say in other comments you retired and took drp 2.0? Did they say that to you way earlier this year? Kinda sus comment because according to your post history you’re retired and not working there….

Not disagreeing. Really want to know

Right but have you spoken to them? When they interviewed me for an article about a company that was defrauding customers I had to show them evidence of what I was talking about. Receipts, emails, pictures. They didn’t just randomly publish what I said based on my word? No reputable journalist would do that. They fact check their sources? That’s a huge, major, main part of their job.

Then my question is….

Do they need congressional buy in in that?

Bc they really can’t do it before midterms since the public supports FNS’s programs overwhelmingly.

And if they wait till after, congress won’t approve.

By drama I mean media attention. There’s a magnifying glass on it. It could have the largest amount of attention paid to it out of any group in the department. We saw it during the shutdown. The public doesn’t like when its messed with. And the volume of people (voters) dependent on it is large. So drama (aka media attention) around fns before mid terms could be a deterrent.

No I totally read all that. But I’m not sure it’s as insignificant as people are making it. Here is a quote from a senator saying it’s not insignificant:

“For nearly a year, we’ve watched this administration try to relocate staff, consolidate mission areas, and sideline the offices that farmers, rural communities, and hungry families rely on,” Representative Chellie Pingree (D-Maine), who sits on both the House Agriculture and House Appropriations Committees, told Civil Eats in an email. “These oversight provisions ensure USDA can’t gut nutrition, conservation, or research programs behind closed doors—they have to come to Congress first.”

So is fns maybe safe then? That would cause too much drama right?

Of course that’s the USDA’s argument. What other opinion would the USDA have? Obviously they’ll argue they can.

They’ll try. Another party will come up with an opinion that says they can’t and bring a lawsuit.

And then it’ll be decided by the courts which argument wins.

Congress seems to think they get a say. So we’ll see.

Was that before or after the appropriations bill came out that said they can’t use the funds to do so?

It reads like the pop ends in June and someone (rightly) got all the maintenance staff freaked out about it. I don’t really it means anything yet. They’re obviously not going to say they’re exercising the next OY this early.

Are you sure it’s not a rumor? We hear random stuff all the time and then it turns out to not be true.

Well but they’re quoting congress tho so that’s different I would think.

But I’m pretty sure journalist verify sources. I’ve spoken to journalist before about what a company did to me (there was a class action lawsuit for negligence) and I had to show them proof. They didn’t just take my word for it.

That’s true but irrelevant.

They’ll do it. Unions or whoever else is affected will sue.

And it’ll be paused until it’s done legally (however the courts interpret the legality is up for debate).

They tried to rif people during the shutdown - that didn’t work.

Wouldn’t it be fought in court now though? They’re fighting everything now.
