They want to disjoin the network and framework to do nothings and blamers. You cant have coordinated planning, preparednees, response or recovery if everyones procceses and products are different. They understand nothing and are obstructionists.
"Santa Claus" literally had me LOL! I burst out in raucous laughter. After some time to reflect, It did remind of a scene from the Marx Bros., Night At The Opera. Groucho and Cheeko are negotiating a contract. As they eliminate portions of the contract, finally leaving only a sliver of paper not yet torn off and discarded, one comments that this is the sanity claus. Groucho says "we can get rid of that also. Everyone knows there is no sanity claus." With nothing left, Groucho says "but we have a contract." "Of course" cheeko agrees.
Now if only you were joking...
As an aside, I wonder if the truth can be sarcastic. Adjective: Someone who is sarcastic says or does the opposite of what they really mean in order to mock or insult someone. So this piece cannot by definition be sarcastic. Therefore, it must be true. Now that's scary, not so funny. I can still laugh at it, so there is hope for me I think.
Oh, bravo! What a masterful stroke of legislative genius from the Beehive State! It's truly heartening to see Utah take a bold stand against the tyranny of... checks notes... federal oversight. After all, who needs a unified legal framework in a country as quaint and small as ours?
The bill you've so brilliantly dissected in your article is nothing short of revolutionary. "Utah to Feds: Drop Dead"? Poetry!
It encapsulates the pioneering spirit that surely must guide our forebears as they... navigated relationships with Native American tribes, managed environmental regulations, and ensured public health and safety.
And let's not overlook the sheer constitutional ballet performed here. The Supremacy Clause? More like a suggestion, really, akin to the pirate's code. Utah's bold move to essentially give itself a "get out of federal laws free" card is, without a doubt, the kind of forward-thinking strategy that will have historians, lawyers, and late-night comedians in awe for generations.
But the true cherry on top? The claim that this is merely a "process bill" and not a "policy bill." Genius! Why bother with the pesky details of policies that could improve the lives of citizens when you can just... opt out? It's like saying, "We're not breaking the rules; we're just establishing a process for deciding which rules are beneath us."
Truly, Utah is not just leading the charge towards a more divided Union, but it's sprinting towards it with the grace of a gazelle evading the grasp of federal lions.So here's to Utah, the little state that could... could totally ignore the fabric of our constitutional democracy.
May your roads lead you to the splendor of your own sovereignty, unencumbered by the collective will and wisdom of over two centuries of nation-building. And may your air remain as clear and your water as pristine as your interpretation of federal authority. Cheers!

maybe virtue-quashing?
Random musing: is the opposite of virtue signalling vice signalling?
Or virtue-ignoring.

Do I detect a note of sarcasm?
Yours. Not mine. I was demure and dainty in what I wrote.
No. Not at all. I loved this piece written in blatant scorching language.
On the one hand, "good riddance." On the other hand . . . sigh.
