dogmatixI was reading Yahoo! News and this caught my attention: USDA says it will close 259 offices to save $150M
Which, okay, saving money and all that. Although I'm somewhat perturbed by the fact that they're going to be closing "259 domestic offices, labs and other facilities"
Especially since "the savings will be relatively small in the context of the agency's $145 billion budget"
.....so what the heck are they doing with the rest of that money that's more importrant than the offices and labs? *eyes it dubiously*
I'm not really pro or con this right now, just... keeping an eye on it?
