A reminder of one notable scientist who was sent back to China during the last period of xenophobia.
I remember reading about this guy when I was studying nuclear engineering in the US.
He basically designed a Chinese clone of the old Martin-Marietta Titan series ICBM when he got deported back to China based on those trumped out charges.
Can another try at legislating pi be far away? Or maybe theyâll try tau this time.
Even if you agree with the notion of trying to reduce the size of the Federal government, this seems penny wise, pound foolish.
The Trump administration is increasingly skipping a form of federal disaster aid that helps states better prepare for future storms, flooding and wildfires.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency rejected requests for such resiliency money, known as Hazard Mitigation Grant Program funding, for Iowa, Mississippi, Missouri and Oklahoma last week, part of a trend that started this spring.
Aside from basically eliminating FEMA and pushing disaster assistance mostly on the states, Trump also plans for his office to dole out disaster aid to states. He wants people to come kiss the ring and dole out what he wants based on how much he likes the governor/state government.
Those willing to buy some Trump coin or Trump NFTâs will get the most favorable treatment.
canât wait to hear how florida likes this
DeSantis will gladly praise Dear Leader, so he probably gets most of what he wants after some groveling and Trump coin purchases. Newsome will get told to pound sand.
Iâm glad to see they rejected requests from states that voted for Trump.
NASA posted a pretty collage last year of space images. The Trump administration has made them take it down.
In the past couple of months, Arkansas and Missouri have both publicly expressed frustration that the feds have refused to declare disasters, which would open the door to FEMA assistance.
In my modeling, Iâve recently significantly discounted the potential for recoveries from TRIPRA because of the change in federal attitudes.
Shouldnât this require Congressional approval?
Mission accomplished, we solved hurricanes.
A quick search finds that carter established FEMA by executive order, so probably not.
Again, he doesnât care about anyone else but himself. Should anything happen to Mar a Lago during his tenure, itâll get rebuilt with even more gold inside by the US of A.
Perhaps a Julius Caesar moment is needed. Except that Caesar never shied away from military duty.
I think they are playing with political fire on this one.
I remember the treatment of puerto rico during his first term.
i think if something like that happened on the mainland, there would be a lot more visibility and the political fallout would be high.
but i would have said the same thing about storming the capitol.
So, flood insuranceâŚ
great question - also phased out?
That is in the Project 25 playbook.
