social media sites are pretty perishable so I don't really agree with this snarky take unless you get really surface level with it, in which case I agree that it won't completely disappear because sites like digg and fark still exist

but who knows, maybe you're right and elon will finally figure out where parler went wrong

In one instance, the report says Balfour Beatty identified a work order to address “leaking moldy water” as “plumbing” and “painting” issues. In another instance, an Army family said they were told by Balfour Beatty staff that there was mold growth in their ceiling, but their work order history contained “not a single mold work order.”

“As a result, once Army Family #4 moved out of this home in October 2020, the military family that next moved into this home could not see from Balfour’s internal maintenance history report that it had a history of mold,” the report says.

Balfour Beatty is just one of several companies overseeing tens of thousands of homes for service members and their families across military installations. The company is “the nation’s largest provider of military family housing,” according to its website, and oversees thousands of Army, Air Force, and Navy homes across 55 installations.

They are probably close communication wise, but the entire point is to keep them separate for the most part for government continuity.

Ironically, the one guy to tell Pence he had no choice but to follow the constitution and there was no if ands or buts. Not to be accused of handing it to Dan Quayle, but it was a good he did the right thing and gave no option, but following the law.

Also seeing him at the inauguration (which good on him for attending) was kind of funny since he no longer has any of that red hair and actually looks far more respectable now with the grey hair, than he did when he was VP.

I think that MBAs are useful, in case you are looking for an answer to the question of "Is lightpole a total fucking idiot".

They've been trying to cancel them but there is debate about the president having the ability to do so. In the meantime they have been using the extensions and expanding forgiveness a bunch. My preference is to expand schooling to 16 years with 13-16 in college or tech school. Just canceling them is good but what about the people that come after?
