Was literally a cryptologic linguist while enlisted and did dodic terp work.

What did you want to tell me?

More insults...

The Director of the BLM reports to Congress. This is undebatable fact.

If that does not land, there's nothing I can do to help clarify things further. I'm sorry we came to an impasse, and I hope your day gets better. Thanks for the conversation, take care.

That's quite a thin skin you've got there sport. I kid lol.

If you can't handle a little cajoling without flying off the handle then I'm sorry for provoking you my dude. I can see how without proper context and actively playing it out as a joke that would be rude and it won't happen again.

That said, have you anything to offer me in the form of factual critique over my statements?

The President can tell his cabinet to do whatever he wants. The BLM Director is not part of his cabinet, in not so many words they do in fact report to congress.

Regarding your other question about Biden's flippant nature, it's important to note that his stance on oil and gas development has not changed significantly since he took office. During his campaign and since becoming president, he has emphasized the need to transition away from fossil fuels and towards clean energy in order to address climate change and "create a more sustainable future". This has included a focus on promoting renewable energy sources like wind and solar power, as well as investments in electric vehicles and other low-emission technologies.

However, it is also true that the Biden administration has faced some criticism and scrutiny over its approach to oil and gas development. In particular, there has been some concern among industry groups and some politicians that the administration's policies could harm the economy and lead to job losses in regions that depend heavily on oil and gas production.

In response to these concerns, the administration has taken steps to reassure the industry and to emphasize that its policies are focused on promoting a gradual and responsible transition away from fossil fuels, rather than an abrupt or drastic shift. For example, the administration has emphasized the importance of reducing methane emissions from oil and gas operations, which can help to mitigate the environmental impacts of fossil fuel production while also supporting domestic production of natural gas.

But I guess we could just blame it on his age if you'd prefer to approach it without any nuance, it is funnier that way.

I approached you civilly, I guess this is all I can expect in return. Take care.

I'm a Texas business owner with family ties to oil across the southwest, I'm about as far alligned economically R as it gets. That you honed in on that specific detail as the entire crux for your argument really says a lot.

Do you have any valid points to make against my statements?

You really didn't then. The Director of the BLM is a permanent position that reports directly to Congress. Congress directly overseas their funding and what projects within the BLM's scope are funded. I even listed the reports and FORM NAMES that the BLM has to submit in reports to Congress.

If you're unhappy with people pointing out your lack of reading comprehension, keep your mouth shut. That's all it takes.

Read all the comments before commenting yourself, it will save you a lot of headache and me time.

Man, I'd like to see his sources on that.

That's a great question.

The decision to hold an auction of oil and gas leases in the Gulf of Mexico by the Bureau of Land Management would have been made by the agency itself, based on its statutory authority and the policies and priorities of the current administration. The BLM is an agency within the U.S. Department of the Interior, and its decisions are subject to review by the Secretary of the Interior, who is appointed by the President of the United States. Point to you.

However, it is worth noting that the decision to offer leases for oil and gas drilling in federal waters of the Gulf of Mexico is a longstanding practice that has been in place for decades, and is not specific to any one administration or political party. The BLM regularly conducts lease sales as part of its management of the Outer Continental Shelf, which includes the waters and submerged lands beyond state coastal waters. These lease sales are conducted in accordance with federal law and regulations, and are intended to promote the responsible development of the nation's energy resources. Congress is the deciding factor in allocations of funding within the BLM in regards to this matter.

It's not an either or, we can both be right you know.

I tried to be cordial with you, I made sure you knew it wasn't a direct attack against you, I gave you the exact documents they use to report to Congress, and gave you an analogy as to why it's important they obey Congress or lose their funding entirely, and your response is:

>You really are just stupid 😂 👋

Classy. Nice chatting with you.

Hey buddy, it seems we're starting to get a little heated, I just want to let you know I'm not attacking your intellect or character here. For all intents and purposes, the President can try to make them do whatever he wants.

That said, Congress can literally cancel them.

This is akin to your boss being the chief of police so it's okay for you to ignore the city council and mayor telling you to quit selling Crack to kids or they'll cut your department's funding and have you fired.

Let me know if there's anything I missed in my analogy, or if I need to clarify anything alright? I'm all for clear communication.

Congress can literally shut them down. They control their budget, they have the final say in where the money goes.

I don't think you understand exactly what this means.

If I control your income and I say "show me a report of where this money is going, it better not be to selling land for oil drilling" are you going ro say "fuck you I don't care if I have any income" or are you going to do what's required to stay alive?

My dude. They literally do report directly to congress.

The Bureau of Land Management is a federal agency within the United States Department of the Interior that manages public lands and resources. The forms used by the BLM to report to Congress can vary depending on the specific information or data being reported. However, some common forms used by the BLM to report to Congress include:

The Annual Report of Lands and Minerals - This report provides an overview of the BLM's management of public lands and resources, including information on the status of grazing permits, mining claims, and oil and gas leases.

The Report on the Status of Oil and Gas Resources on Federal Lands - This report provides an assessment of the status of oil and gas resources on federal lands, including information on production, reserves, and exploration activities.

The Report on the Management of Wild Horses and Burros - This report provides information on the BLM's management of wild horses and burros on public lands, including population estimates, adoption rates, and range conditions.

The Budget Justifications - These documents provide detailed information on the BLM's budget requests and priorities, including funding levels for specific programs and initiatives.

The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) documents - These documents are prepared by the BLM to analyze the environmental impacts of proposed actions on public lands, and are often required by Congress as part of the agency's decision-making process.

It's important to note that these are just a few examples of the forms and reports that the BLM may use to report to Congress, and that the specific forms used can vary depending on the type of information being reported and the requirements of Congress.

You know what. Fair play.

They also report to Congress, who controls their budget. Who created them. Who can dissolve them. Who has the final say in their activities.

But blame sleepy joe amirite?

There's a lot of reasons to hate our president, this ain't it.

The BLM is required to provide regular reports to Congress on its activities, budget, and performance, as well as to respond to requests for information or testimony from congressional committees. Congress also has the power to authorize and appropriate funds for the BLM's operations and programs, and to conduct oversight and investigations of the agency's activities.

How about you delete yours?

Talk about confidently ignorant.

The Secretary of the Interior reports to Congress buddy.

Hit me up when you understand anything kiddo.

You should probably read his comments then. 👉😎👉

>Pursuant to the Property Clause of the United States Constitution (Article 4, section 3, clause 2), Congress has the power to retain, buy, sell, and regulate federal lands, such as by limiting cattle grazing on them. These powers have been recognized in a long line of United States Supreme Court decisions.

Tl;Dr: OP blaming sleepy Joe over Republican Congress and Supreme Court decisions.

Edit: If you all took the time to do a single Google search you'd see that the Bureau of Land Management is an agency within the United States Department of the Interior, and as such, it is accountable to Congress through the Secretary of the Interior.

So Congress and the Supreme Court, both overwhelmingly controlled by Republicans.

Wipe that egg off your face.

Your assumption is that AGI is an AI that broaches the singularity, correct?
