It’s interesting that a publicly traded company has to file many reports and issue accurate documentation concerning its operations and monetary dealings. Knowledge that the government and shareholders require. It’s by law. Many big shots and companies have burned for illicit activity.

Isn’t The American government one giant company owned thru taxes by we the people? Why are we not afforded the same updated monetary reports and more importantly why are the “executors” of our money and assets not subject to the same consequences the judicial system hands private corporations.

It was reported in the last few days it’s been discovered that a percentage of pay that was earned by our troops, withheld by the military for the express purpose of feeding said troops, ( that in itself seems crazy to me) the account is missing 150 MILLION dollars of the soldiers money. I’m betting it’s going to end up more. How can people responsible, get away with stealing from the young men and women putting their lives on the line for us without question, not see the inside of prison walls for a couple millennia?
One small example.

Why does the US Government need 5000 horses? The pony express has been upgraded for some time now. I honestly am asking, why?

J Stanton said this:

So, here's a hypothetical. What about people who work at multiple geographical scales, how would working for individual states benefit leaders at the national scale?

President Trump comes out of a cabinet meeting and for some strange reason wants the answers to three very different land change change questions in short order. These questions are (the particular dates aren't really important):

Between 2010 and 2020, how much land was cut for timber production in states of Washington, Georgia, and Maine?

Between 2010 and 2020, how much grassland in Montana, South Dakota, and Colorado was converted to cropland?

Between 2010 and 2020, how much shrubland in Oregon, Nevada, and Idaho was impacted by wild fire and probably changed to grasslands?


How would the natural resource knowledge base in those nine states coordinate and process that request? Would you think it would take more than a couple of weeks??

And yet, if my actual management food chain truly realized what my team does, one of my contractors and myself could have nice approximations in whatever land measurements the Prez wanted in probably two weeks because we have national datasets that the country has invested in and I have 25 years (actually more) of multi-scale U.S. land change knowledge that I can draw and deliver from.

I doubt multiple state agencies could provide that information as quick or with less man hours used. And those are just some sample land use or land change requests that I and one or two people could do at a national leader's request because we have built a system and I can execute from it. Most of the people I work with are the technicals, I'm the synthesizer of their pieces and parts.

I don't regulate anyone, manage any land, or push money digits from here to there, and I have very little fat to cut because my food chain has mostly done that already because they don't "get" knowledge dissemination. They like making datasets but actually using them, that is for other "stakeholders" and "customers" to do.

sounds like he manages the wild horse herds down there .
