FYI: The name “Pinjamin” comes from my love of pinball. It’s my main hobby in this era of my life. I have nine machines at home. Come on by sometime and give them a flip!

With this EO, Trump is explicitly seizing control of agencies meant to operate free from presidential interference, such as the FCC, FTC, FEC and financial regulators.

Now any new regulations must go through the White House. Monumental change here.

www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...
“Therefore, in order to improve the administration of the executive branch and to increase regulatory officials’ accountability to the American people, it shall be the policy of the executive branch to ensure Presidential supervision and control of the entire executive branch. Moreover, all executive departments and agencies, including so-called independent agencies, shall submit for review all proposed and final significant regulatory actions to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) within the Executive Office of the President before publication in the Federal Register. Sec. 2. Definitions. For the purposes of this order: (a) The term “employees” shall have the meaning given that term in section 2105 of title 5, United States Code.   (b) The term “independent regulatory agency” shall have the meaning given that term in section 3502(5) of title 44, United States Code. This order shall not apply to the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or to the Federal Open Market Committee in its conduct of monetary policy. This order shall apply to the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System only in connection with its conduct and authorities directly related to its supervision and regulation of financial institutions. “

If they ban mRNA vaccines for 10 years we will have no #BirdFlu vaccines. The current #H5N1 vaccines are made using chicken eggs. We don't have enough eggs to make vaccines for the entire population in case of a pandemic. The hens are sick with Bird Flu. Stupidity

I I love using games and teaching game design to students of all ages and levels, from elementary school to post-grad. I go over some of the activities and tools I have used to integrate games into my classroom in this week’s MonarcWriter newsletter.
