Scott Pruitt explains that, gosh darn it, he just had to charter all those first-class and military-jet rides:
Am I reading too much into things, or does his official statement really reads “What I’m afraid of is that, were I to travel like a normal person and be seated next to the proles, they might just glare at me on account of what I’m about” ?
Isn’t Pruitt the one who’s insisted on a 24-hour security detail, and refuses to put anything in writing about decisions made at the EPA? Yes, yes he is.
The man’s paranoid about something. Love to know what it is.
Well, too bad – you will never penetrate the Cone of Silence!
Does mother nature hire hitmen?
I dunno, but I wouldn’t be playing gold on a stormy day if I were him.
Funny typo, given the Trump admin.
Brings up images of Scrooge McDuck basking on his pile of gold coins. Which also is probably not a good idea in a thunderstorm, of course.
He also has a Cone of Silence installed inside his office.
It’s like a whoopee cushion, but with less noise and more pain.
Jesus, who needs all that just to watch porn during office hours ?
ETA : but seriously though, that just screams “HI I’M MAKING SHADY DEALS I DON’T WANT THE PUBLIC TO HEAR ABOUT, OK ?”
Who’s going to stop him? Some ethics oversight committee or something? Haw haw haw haw!
Mother Nature does not need to hire hitmen.
Mother Nature will not mention that it would be a shame if anything were to happen to that nice house of yours.
Mother Nature will clue you in with flaming 175 mph winds.
Have the proponents of the “Harvest Box” considered anybody’s food allergies? Lost or stolen shipments? Lack of fresh produce?
Something tells me that issues have not occurred.
Even worse, the presence of no longer fresh and beginning to rot all over the rest of the food because of delays between procurement and packing/delivery.
Canned food is a good enough replacement for fresh produce. I mean, fresh produce is for those effete libruls who eat sprouts and tofu. And if you are, say, lactose-intolerant, you can find the celiac person in the neighborhood and trade your cheese for their pasta. It will all work out in the end.
That is, until the whole system collapses and you are left with half as much money. Or, maybe it will not collapse, per se, it will just be grafted into oblivion, and the budget will still be allocated, and the contractors will still be paid, and the boxes will pretend to be shipped, and it will all be good. (Good for a few people, anyway, who will get paid for doing nothing, unlike those trashy food stamp recipients who get a handout.)
You think there is going to be any FRESH PRODUCE in those boxes…?
You sweet, sweet man.
Will there be any variation in what comes inside these boxes? I think anybody would be sick of the same old things after a week or so of eating them.
Well, sure – some kale, some arugula, just the right greens to toss with a dash of balsamic and your Government Quinoa.
