Impressed by the Trump administration part II

How fucked up can a system be when not doing something is more costly than doing something?  WTF

I know if a business I ever worked for had to be temporarily shut down for any reason, I wouldn't have been paid for that time.

Which ... would have saved the company money for that time.

Now, of course, if we're dealing with a for-profit company that generates revenue by being open, it certainly could harm the bottom line (depending on the profitability of the company during that time), but it's not like we're not going to still pay taxes for that time period.

How does it cost government more to not operate than it does to operate?

Officials broke ground for a $600 million Google data center in Jackson County, Ala

 

"Google said the data center in Bridgeport will be a hub for Internet traffic, fitting into a network that keeps the company’s search engine and its other internet-based products functioning around the clock. The project was formally announced in June 2015."

Oh it was announced when Obama was president. Well way to go Obama! Winning!

I like Quaker, but I assure you that you are wasting your time trying to explain something like this to him.  He is so politicized that nothing gets through.  Everything is black and white, and a Republican president is infallible.  No use debating with him.  

The biggest farce has been Trump backs Russia. Now he is blowing up their ally. I don’t agree or disagree at this point, but the narrative is old.

The only thing 100% is the Russians lie.

"for a while"

What was tried before with good intentions clearly failed.  The Brits and the French realized this and got on board.

This.  Likely trump is getting them rallied.

Well, taking Assad's chem weapons is yet another Obama foreign policy failure. 

Perhaps Ptown can give us an update on what foreign policy "successes" Obama has left.

It'll be awesome if we go to Nuclear war with Russia.

Once the missiles were launched, the French promptly surrendered.  ;-)

I mean, sounds like something he should have disclosed on air, but whatever. I find it pretty funny and just further validates Hannity is just a fucking tool.

Well, Cohen is a fixer....and I think all the guys at Fox had to hire fixers for the sex harassment claims.

Trump loves Hannity and Rupert Murdoch knows good business.   Nothing will happen.  

Fake news.
