As gas prices remain at record highs, Biden creates new office of 'environmental justice'

[SugarDaddy1]

The Department of Health and Human Services announced the creation of the Office of Environmental Justice.

The mission of the new governmental office is to "better protect the health of disadvantaged communities and vulnerable populations on the frontlines of pollution and other environmental health issues."

The office will reside within the Office of Climate Change and Health Equity, which President Joe Biden established last year.

Last year, the Justice Department also established an Office of Environmental Justice.

What he should do is promote the EPA to Cabinet status. That's decades overdue.

Just read that in some places in CA the price of gas is higher than the federal minimum wage.

 

[pecksniff]

There is no good reason why Biden should not do this while gas prices are high.

Actually, its charter needs to be rewritten by Congress with prison time for exceeding it. Gina McCarthy ought to go to jail for lying to congress.

If there's any agency that should be allowed to get away with exceeding its charter, the EPA is it.

We all know that we can't possibly do good things towards the environment because of inflation ¯\(°_o)/¯

We all know your knowledge of monetary policy and economics has been personally inflated beyond the boundaries of reality.

Good deflection...or not. Creating an office for environmental justice has no bearing, dipshit

 

[pecksniff]

Again, there is no good reason why Biden should not do this while gas prices are high.

Creating that office in the first place is the real dipshittery, didshit.

 

[pecksniff]

Creating that office in the first place is the real dipshittery, didshit.

There is a real need for it. "Environmental justice" because the burden of pollution falls most heavily on the poorest areas.

 

[ll74]

Creating that office in the first place is the real dipshittery, didshit.

Your opinion is noted. I guess at least you didn't deflect this time

The DOJ has had an Environmental Justice section for at least 25 years. I interned in the Environmental Crimes section back then and the EJ's offices were the next suite down the hall at Main Justice.

I think the story here is once again, the redundancy of our government.

Every agency seems to feel the need to recreate something that already exists
just so that they can control it under their "magic" umbrella of power/prestige.

Well of course. We are still paying for the Rural Electrification Agency.

Government agencies are immortal and constantly being created.

 

[Sh1ne0n67]

Here's another example:

"Biden’s Department of Agriculture announced earlier this month that in order for schools to receive funds for student lunches, breakfasts, and other food items, it must comply with its interpretation of the ban on discrimination based on sex in Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 and other food-related programs, which includes sexual orientation and gender identity."

Everyone wants to be in on the game without being elected.
Lia is a woman. If you see a man, you are the problem, not the solution.

They learned spin-offs from Happy Days.

Just what is needed, another 'feel good, do nothing' department within a department with no charter and soon to be without a budget. Prices should start falling anytime now.

Public Sector employees need advancement avenues too! They're people too. Important people.

They just aren't as greedy as those Capitalists that they desire to ride herd over.
They can get by quite nicely on a six-figure annual income thank you.
And they are all the more important for the official titles.
When you see a bureaucrat address them as
Your Remedial Relevancy...

They get a paid vacation every October; isn't that enough?

 

[Sh1ne0n67]

We stress them so...

They really deserve a lot of little supplemental vacations too.

The whole administration is beginning to look and sound like some middle school civics project.

 

[pecksniff]

Public Sector employees need advancement avenues too! They're people too. Important people.

And entirely necessary people. Government is not some kind of parasitic growth on the private sector, as so many RWs and Libertarians seem to assume.

And entirely necessary people. Government is not some kind of parasitic growth on the private sector, as so many RWs and Libertarians seem to assume.

Then howsacome so many are deemed "non-essential" every October and asked to stay home.

Is it too obvious to ask: If they are not essential, why are they on the payroll?
