Don’t the feds ultimately control the National guard? When they were sent to Afghanistan, did governor’s have to give the ok ?

People in Iceland trust that organisation that the data will not be coupled with any other data sets and will be destroyed in the end, so it is widely used. Your posts are exceptionally good and I have appreciated them a lot.

Dr.Caligari posted:Don’t the feds ultimately control the National guard? When they were sent to Afghanistan, did governor’s have to give the ok ? Its kind of complex system (plus there is the Army reserves which is separate). National guard units are kind of defaulted to be under the control of the state. National guard units can be federal mobilized and placed under national level control as well. Prior to 2007 this required state approval, but since 2007 the president can federalize national guard troops without consent of state governors.

No one wanted to be the politician that gave this the laissez-faire treatment, though, except Republicans right now. And the media is working overtime to make them look bad for it.

SHISHKABOB posted:What would they do if the feds showed up. Hold onto the boxes really tight? they diverted the plane mid-flight at the last second to a different MD airport, where they had MD NG waiting to grab the tests onto trucks to whisk them away. If the Feds were at the original airport they didn’t have time to scramble to steal them lol Dr.Caligari posted:Don’t the feds ultimately control the National guard? When they were sent to Afghanistan, did governor’s have to give the ok ? yes the feds can “activate” NG troops at any time making them legally identical to any Army unit- but unless activated they report directly to the governor. “Activating” is a big deal legal thing and not like a switch someone flips where a big blue light turns from blue to red and they change loyalty instantly.

Dr.Caligari posted:I’m in a rural part of the states and contract tracing , at this point, seems like a waste of resources in almost all instances. A good contact tracing app doesn't work by collecting information for a centralized authority to peruse and go CSI on. It's for the app users themselves - notifying them directly of other users who turned out to be positive cases and had been in contact with them. It's not a waste of resources if you get infection counts down by hammering R below 1 for long enough. In a situation where the number of infected is low - contact tracing is very useful, even when the virus is extremely contagious. If you give up and accept everyone will be infected, then yes, it's useless. But that's not an actual option, in my opinion. The consequences would be devastating, despite the optimism growing in many places.

Man, My roommate is really bad at this whole social distancing thing. Why are there like 5 people I don't know at my house right now  I kind of knew it would be like this, she's gotta be the most restless person I've ever met. It's really making me feel like my attempts to isolate myself are just stupid and futile though. It's funny because she talks like she' participating in this but she's been on 3 out of state leisure trips this month including plane rides, goes to friends houses probably 4 nights a week and has people over regularly. I feel like she's just asking to catch this thing and then here I am one floor away. veni veni veni fucked around with this message at 21:16 on May 2, 2020 |
