Leading US #climate #science agency is in “gridlock” because Commerce Sec #Lutnick promised to inspect every #NOAA contract over $100,000 w stated aim of cutting #waste. But he has a huge backlog, #TedCruz warned programs “from post-#hurricane #flood assessment to janitorial services” are being held up. The delays come at a bad time: #Storms and# tornadoes killed 28 people last weekend, and more #severe #weather may be on the way. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/noaa-has-ground-to-a-halt-as-lutnick-has-left-contracts-unsigned/ #publichealth #FEMA #disasters

#Lutnick shits on #Canada ahead of tomorrow's meeting: "They have basically been feeding off of us for decades upon decades upon decades. They have their socialist #regime and it's basically feeding off of #America ... why do we do our films in Canada? C'mon! ... I just don't see how it works out perfectly."
I feel so bad for Howard Lutnick's two 20-something sons. Not enough factories in US, so instead of great jobs in a plant, they've had to settle for the top leadership roles at Cantor Fitzgerald. But soon - thanks to tariffs - we'll have lots of factories so there will be great gigs for his grandsons. Yes, indeed! #Lutnick #factory #tariffs

First of all the EU prohibits the use of substances having a hormonal action for growth promotion in farm animals! In other words they think USA Beef is crap. Secondly no one produces a better steak than the Florentines: La Fiorentina!
And Organic Grass Fed Alberta Beef and Bison are world class! And under Canada-EU Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) these are exported to Europe! EU knows quality!

"While #DonaldTrump, who held a surreal press event for #Tesla at the #WhiteHouse... may be exempt from federal #conflict of interest laws, #Lutnick probably isn’t. And the Code of Federal Regulations specifically prohibits #public officials from using their office for #private gain"
