 Biden Bungles - Southern Border
It seems in cancelling the 1.9 Billion in existing contracts that the taxpayers will be on the hook for over 700 million dollars in fines... Under the conditions of existing contracts that is the price tag for sending contractors packing and leaving our southern border projects incomplete...
Not to mention the thousands of construction workers who will now be unemployed...

 Re: Biden Bungles - Southern Border
It was the initial contract that was a folly of immense proportion, a total waste of taxpayer dollars.

Biden - more interested in policy than economics - those contracts could have easily been converted to needed items like patrol roads instead of just canceling for convenience... A termination for convenience allows the federal government to terminate all or part of a contract for its convenience. ... After termination, the government is required to make a fair and prompt settlement with you. Generally speaking, settlement takes the form of a negotiated agreement between the parties.

 Re: Biden Bungles - Southern Border
According to the White House websites....
Just Bidens initial actions have put over 400,000 workers out of a job with the signing of his Executive orders...
And
The COVID-19 pandemic has forced the United States economy into an economic crisis. Across the country, more than 10 million Americans are unemployed, 14 million renters are behind on payments, and 29 million adults – and at least 8 million children – are struggling with food insecurity.
But - he has said "Americans will find New Jobs" --- well they better ! ! !
The question is where ? ? ? As his actions hit the hardest in outer rural areas which have the least social programs to help these newly unemployed Americans...

 Re: Biden Bungles - Southern Border
If you're not transitioned yet to jobs in clean energy, renewables, and environmental management you are late to the game.

 Re: Biden Bungles - Southern Border
And you are a hypocrite because in your profile picture you are driving a surface drive, which is not electric and cuts up marsh.... if you want to be taken seriously, don’t make it so obvious that you are a hypocrite. Follow the lead of your president and do away with your truck and your surface drive and find something electric so you can do your part like your president wants you to.

Seriously - during pandemic record unemployment these construction workers were getting top pay up until Jan 20 and making house payments and putting food on the table... So when were they supposed to make this "transition" you speak of ? ? ? Louisiana just like Texas provides millions of quality chemical plant jobs, on shore and off shore oil drilling and production jobs that up until this week were considered primary National Defense jobs that were vital to this nation...So when were they supposed to make this "transition" that you have imagined in your mind listening to this "Green Energy" platform of change ? ? ? It is not like you flip some switch and 300 million people just instantly change ! Change is incremental and takes decades not days !

 Re: Biden Bungles - Southern Border
Lets just be clear - Biden's actions were intended to hurt southern oil State economies and rural economies - because these are NOT "his people" - so he wants us knocked down and lined up in the bread lines to get whatever crumbs he decides to give us !
All of his policy is based on bringing America down and making it dependent on Big Government - not a sound and thriving economy with a free market system !
This will not work !
This will not stand !
Elections come around in 2 years - and so do NEW LEADERS !

OK - so WHAT IF - Texas agreed with you and just TOTALLY STOPPED all of the flow of natural gas - heating oil - lubricants - gasoline - and ALL ELECTRICTY sent into the National Electirical Grid and just told the entire Country to - just get another supplier - just like Biden is telling these unemployed workers to just get another job ? ? ? I can tell you - DISASTER - the entire country would go dark - people would freeze - the economy would collapse because the factories would not have power to operate - the big trucks would be parked on the side of the road - the railroads would be idled.... 300 million people can not be transitioned in days - it takes decades !

 Re: Biden Bungles - Southern Border
You are making my point for me ! It takes decades not days ! Gigafowl wrote: 300 million people can not be transitioned in days - it takes decades !
Currently much of Entergy power comes from coal plants & natural gas plants - they will be in use for decades ! ! ! You don't transition 300 million people overnight with an Executive Order ! You can't even get dressed tomorrow without wearing things made from fossil fuels and when you drive an electric car 30% of the components will have a fossil fuel origin ! Not to mention the fossil fuel origins of wind and solar power components of all kinds ! Funny you don't seem to care about the over 400,000 people Biden has put out of work in just his first week in office ! Many of those same people are you neighbors too ! .

 Re: Biden Bungles - Southern Border
All he cares about is that trump didn't win and everything good he tried to do however misguided are reversed regardless of the actual consequences. He cares not about the implications of socialist agendas and actions, nor the rationality and impact of the executive orders, nor the fact Biden has shown real and legit signs of medically diagnosable dementia. He wants Harris to be the president anyway.

 Re: Biden Bungles - Southern Border
Problem is DG is "hook line and sinker" totally hooked on these Green Policies which they think can be "magically successful" overnight !
The US simply IS NOT the problem in Global CO and CO2 pollution - China and India are !
And the absolutely stupid thing is that China and India are major producers of these "so called Green Products" which come from factories pumping out CO2 running on an electric grid of coal fired power plants !
Then these products are shipped across the oceans in marine diesel powered ships which pollute the air and water in obscene amounts !
Then when that fossil fueled truck delivers it to their home - they grin about all the good they are doing for the environment !
They forget - every dollar sent to China and India is another dollar used to destroy the planet !
