I like the idea of Secret Service enrichment activities being exactly like dog enrichment. They just release a bunch of Government mooks into a room with some of those doggie treats puzzles, but I stead of beggin strips, it’s full of domestic terrorists addresses.
I don’t think it’s as likely that the Feds break this strike like they did with the railroads. Their argument against the rails was that almost every other industry relies on them to move product, while having fewer new cars will only effect the new and used car markets.

This is incredible news! While 20,000 is fewer jobs than I would have liked, it’s still 20,000 more people that are fighting to save our planet than we had before. Plus all those jobs will provide income to all those people and families, and they’ll be able to recirculate those funds to their local economies. I bet this program will generate more income than it’s cost over the long run, and that’s not even counting all the monetary savings that a more stable (or at least slower changing) climate will bring.
