Elsewhere I mentioned most modern political practice is inspired by bolshevism and still wlsewhere I referenced Ars Technica today.
Just shut up ! Shut your fucking mouth ! Don’t you dare say a fucking word ! Everyone is sick of your negativity and hatred. Just sit down and agree with the People !
Pace Florida, and it’s ban on speaking of Climate Change ( and Sea Level Rise, for who speaks of rope in the Hangman’s House ? ), Wisconsin has issued gagging orders:
…the Board of Commissioners of Public Lands, which oversees logging on some state land among several other financial duties, voted on April 7 to ban its nine employees from working on or speaking about climate change. The move was led by State Treasurer Matt Adamczyk, a colorful character who ran on a platform of abolishing the office of State Treasurer—an office that had atrophied over the years.

Wisconsin’s Treasurer Wants to Cut Needless Workers, Starting With Himself
“I’m a big believer in efficiency,” said Mr. Adamczyk, 36, round-faced and garrulous. “I’ve always just thought that this office doesn’t really have any duties left.”
…
Eliminating his employees’ jobs has saved hundreds of thousands of dollars, he said. Then there is the smaller stuff: an unused printer sits ready to be returned. Laptop cases that belong to no one were stacked on a wooden table. He spent one day recently on the phone with Verizon trying to determine why his office had more active cellphone contracts than it did employees.
Perhaps because he fired the last employees.
…
Opening a large cardboard box, he pulled out tiny blue plastic piggy banks with the department’s name printed on the side. “Do we need these?” he asked. “No, we don’t.”
Mr. Adamczyk held up a new iPhone, still sealed in plastic. “This was a ‘floater’ phone,” he said. “No one ever used it. It cost $58 a month. You almost can’t make this stuff up.”
All places are going to have a lot of waste: worrying about the waste is also wasteful.
…
Even the agency’s newspaper subscriptions have not gone unnoticed by Mr. Adamczyk. The public lands office subscribes to several newspapers, including The Wisconsin State Journal, The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times. Mr. Adamczyk told Ms. Nelson that she should discontinue her subscription to The Times.
“I am beyond disappointed in this expense,” he wrote in an email to Ms. Nelson, adding, “this is simply a want and NOT A NEED.”
*He also objected to a brief mention of global warming on the agency’s website. In an email dated Dec. 23, he wrote to Ms. Nelson, “On the BCPL website, there is a sentence that states: ‘Global climate change is no longer debatable as a threat to ecosystems.’ Why is the BCPL concerned with discussing the hot button issue of ‘global climate change.’ ”
*
In an interview, Mr. Adamczyk criticized Ms. Nelson — who has spent much of her career working on environmental policy issues — for testifying before a Congressional committee on global warming in 2009.
…
Though he has not yet figured out a way to do so, Mr. Adamczyk has vowed to return 25 percent of his $69,936 salary to the state.*
I look forward to this paragon of ideological purity running for president in 20 years time.
No, I do not know whether Mr. Adamczyk is very large or the person he is with is very small.
