The official dock is 20% off too.

I want him, and all politicians, to be pressed on telling Americans how they’re going to do these things. Tell Americans in no uncertain terms how their policies will impact them.

I 100% agree with you there.

I’m just concerned about getting distracted by the “or else” part of his statement when his real intention is getting rid of the agencies.

Let me rephrase. He is saying “Get rid of these agencies or I’m going to fuck you with all of the power they give me.”

My point is that the details of how he fucks you is not as important as the fact that he is going to.

Before everyone starts jumping to conclusions I just want to start by saying Desantis is a toxic douche who I do not and will never support. Please hear me out though.

The worst thing about federal agencies is that the President can control them with Executive Orders. In other words, power granted to these agencies is power granted to whomever the President is.

Getting rid of them does mean that we lose many regulations in the short term but it gives the power back to Congress and the states (yeah I know some states are going to do stupid shit and Congress is going to sit around with their thumbs up their asses and take forever to enact policy to replace it).

Long term getting rid of federal agencies could actually help protect us should another tyrannical President be elected.

If you want an example of why executive power is dangerous just look at what Trump and Ajit Pai did to internet regulation after the FCC was given control of the internet in the name of net neutrality.

It’s a threat. He is saying if congress does not get rid of federal agencies he is going to use Executive Orders to try to force policy he knows will piss people off. I don’t think the policy really matters at this point.

Most of the stuff on YT kids already feels like it’s AI generated. I can’t imagine what it’s going to turn into once they go full AI or what kind of damage it may cause.

Jeff Geerling has a pretty good summary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kF5pyVUQBH8

Ah, and much of that energy would be absorbed on the way in. So the additional energy absorbed on the way out depends on how the surface material changes the reflected light or later radiates the absorbed energy.
