Yes, they would.
- Just like the SEC posts information that makes the largest financial companies look bad.
- Or the CDC posting things that make the WHO look bad
- Or the FTC
- Or the DOJ
- Or the FBI
I'm just sick of news agencies fracturing this country.

I'm just sick of news agencies fracturing this country.
Ya I’m not all in in gov run media but I do believe there has to be accountability for the media. There has to be some way to hold media accountable for purposely perverting the truth. It’s becoming more and more volatile and breeding extremism on both sides which isn’t going to end well. I’m all for the reporting of news but there is a huge difference between reporting the news and creating news. Seems to me the media we have now spend more time creating stories as opposed to just reporting them.
And how many of those departments have had a leader fired during the Trump administration? If the boss doesn't like what you say, you're gone.
So you're saying because the president, Trump in this case, could remove the head of the agency, that the agency would not be valid? I feel like you just invalidated a shit ton of agencies.
The executive branch only has so much power. He/She can remove the boss and appoint a new boss, but they can't dictate what the new boss says/does. Trump is finding that out 1st hand.
where is your steadfast demand to see proof for this like it is for other things? You see a pic on Twitter from some half ass TV station's camera man and it's the truth. Barr says it and you need to see proof. Got it.
@DuckTalesLOL just walk it back now, we'll all forget it happened. Don't go further trust me
I don’t know anything about this guys but I was sent this earlier from a friend and he seems to make some pretty good points. Specifically the way the news chooses to portray things and the hypocritical elected officials. I wonder considering most have come out and confirmed racism is a major problem and has been for a long time why are they just now speaking out and desiring to make a stand. Most of these politicians have been in office for a long time but instead of focusing on there failures they choose to pin it on the scapegoat (Donald Trump). I’m not saying Trump shouldn’t take part of the blame for this but there is a lot of blame that can be passed around the government. I find it harder to believe these politicians have all of sudden woke up to all the injustices being done then I do believing that they are saying what they know that there base wants to hear on a hot button topic so that they can accumulate votes.
Yes, I'm saying exactly that. He's done it multiple times already during his administration, he's also fired people investigating him and his staff.
But, not even specific to Trump, any President that would have power over what news can be shown will abuse it.
I don't know the inner workings of the departments you described earlier, but those departments are dealing with reports/findings/data, that is information that is hard to fabricate/sway an opinion on.
The news is quite different.
yeah, 6 minutes have gone by without a response. Not a good sign for dicktales. You're much better off getting an immediate non-researched response based on emotion. 6 minutes means he's researching. Putting together a bullet point presentation.

[Use this wiki, copy into excel, use =concatonate(transpose(array) formula to produce]
Again, just because the executive branch can change the boss, doesn't mean they dictate the boss. They can choose the boss and assume that the boss will impose what they want...but that boss also can't break the law. China's CCP is so strong because there are no laws against the government from becoming authoritarian and enforcing whatever they want.
The assumption that because the president can oust a boss therefore making the position and/or agency invalid, would pretty much destroy our democracy
You certainly called it
Excel motha trucka. Don't challenge me on excel; I'm the excel whore for my company: every sector of business wants some of this ass.
oh yeah....... I saw that one spreadsheet you did for Covid.
We had a guy that was an Engineer by trade but basically kept his job because he could do Excel like nobody. He was our Excel whore. Literally could do something in 3 minutes that would take me 2 hours.
It's called job security!

Can't wait to read the @DuckTalesLOL vs @jdr0269 discussion after I'm off work in 8 hours. Don't disappoint me.
nothing from nothing, but I really feel like the Deputy Chief Management Officer of Defense, Director of Cost Assessment and Program Evaluation got a raw deal.
Honestly, I love excel. We have state statutes that have required us to inform our customers if/when we have products that have substances beyond exposure thresholds. We don't prepare consumer products (shit you buy off the shelf), so we can't produce exposure statements; however, we can provide statements based upon our customers use of our product and whether or not our product would have a substance beyond the limitations required for statements. I read the statute, incorporated it into an excel, synced it with our SAP database, and produced a template using acess to make it the a 4 step process and then a click of an icon. It takes 5 minutes to respond to a customer.
Our competitors currently use a third party that charges them over 7 figures a year to produce, review, and publish.

Not sure if people saw this one:
Senior Director for Global Health Security and Biodefense of the National Security Council
Well @jdr0269 is 100 times smarter than I am, so I'll concede to him on the subject. We're just discussing hypothetical situations anyway so in the end it's not that important.
Don’t be surprised if I start inboxing you if I get a job involving a bunch of excel
I learned Control-V is paste a few weeks ago so I can help too.
You and I will never agree on this. I know by now I’m not changing your mind on anything and you certainly aren’t changing mine on this.
Bull shit on the smarter thing.
I agree on the hypothetical. I would like it to be so in order to have CNN respond to, "you said China hacked our computers to help the Pubs, XXX has stated they did hack our computers; however, it was both and they saw equivalent propaganda for both pubs and dems. Care to comment?"
I love helping with excel. I have training videos for our company to provide to new hires. Let me know if you need any help.
Hot keys are great. I'm not one of those freaks that doesn't touch the mouse, but if I have an action I do CONSTANTLY, I learn the alt code and I've found it definitely speeds things up.
CNN replies with “expert correspondent” who spins it however they want. Foxnews does the same.
Threw me off for a second when you kept saying "Pubs" but I got it in the end when you said "pubs and dems" lol.
Internal my man. You'd have to have a company email, haha. Additionally, it's filled with company sensitive info.
Maybe the "intro to excel one"...give me a moment. And no one can make fun of me. I literally was trying to dumb it down for the computer illiterate.
It's an 1.5 long and 440 MB. Anyone have an idea on a free storage location other than dropbox (company blocks that site) that would take a file that size.
