Are clean air, clean water, and safe food supplies going to be privileges that only the wealthy can afford? While big box stores move to clean efficient renewable energy our current administration moves away from progress.
But. OF COURSE, his property in Washington D.C. gets an exemption so IT can stay open…
The historic Old Post Office Tower maintained by the National Park Service in the center of Trump International Hotel in Washington D.C. will reportedly reopen during the government shutdown.
The arrangement raises the appearance of special federal treatment for a private business owned by President Donald Trump.
The historic 270-foot tower and hotel — once the headquarters of the U.S. Post Office — is owned by the GSA. In 2013, the agency leased the property for 60 years to the Trump Organization. That agreement noted that the property could not be leased to an “elected official of the Government of the United States,” but the GSA determined the deal was in “full compliance” because Trump had agreed not to accept direct payments from the hotel.
The hotel is at the center of an emoluments case against the president. The emoluments clause of the Constitution bars federal officials from accepting gifts or benefits from foreign officials or governments. The case, filed by the attorneys general of Maryland and Washington, D.C., accuses Trump of skirting the prohibition with the hotel where they contend foreign leaders can curry favor with the president via pricey bookings and parties.
A spokesman for the Department of the Interior told E&E that the parks service was attempting to keep “iconic areas” open during the shutdown, but that did not include the tower — until the GSA stepped in.

I’m sure Individual 1’s administration considers that to be the bright side.
He’ll brag about how his EPA practically runs automatically!

I’ve seen government contractors dumping trash in estuaries in order to get the government contract for cleaning them up.
