I'm inclined to be lenient concerning Blue Sky today. My own troubles suggest that I'm not alone, and logically, others may have met with similar Blue sky hindrances.

It is indeed imperative that this matter is understood with clarity. Query: Elaborate on the impediments to the release of SNAP funds. Clarification: A contingency fund exists within the USDA. However, its utilization is contingent upon the primary program possessing extant funding. 2/2

SNAP!
Essentially, we have a backup plan that only works if we donโt need a backup plan! So, to summarise the USDA's contingency funds are purely for decoration! I think they have been spending far too much money on pencils!

#DisasterBarbie gives due process to no-one, citizen or not. She doesn't have the same immunity as trump has from SCOTUS, and certainly can't fall back on executive privilege for this BS. She must face charges for crimes against humanity.

This makes me think how that original art and films have scarcity by design from galleries and ticket sales. Are we commoditizing creations, abandoning scarcity-based value?
