Civics, Friday, December 8, 2017

Steve was trying very hard to look like he didn't have a Santa hat stuck to his head. It wasn't working. "Well, we're almost out of classes," he said, "so a refresher about how agencies can affect your everyday life are probably in order. For instance, there are federal agencies in charge of enforcing the quality of the air you breathe."

Tony was making that hat work for him on the other hand. Just embracing the weirdness today.

"Agencies that protect employees from being overworked or placed in unsafe conditions," Tony added. "Agencies that set standards for the education provided to your children in public schools... this is a private school in case you're wondering."

Which explained, kind of, why the teachers just rolled with having non-removable hats on their heads today. "Agencies that decide what can and can't be brought onto an airplane, whether you need to take your shoes off to get cleared, and what happens when your hair sets off the metal detectors."

Very lax hiring practices at this school too.

"And whether or not to impose rules on what a company can and cannot do in regards to basic services," Tony added. "All these things will affect you at some point in your life if you live in this country. So the people who make these decisions are very important."

"Which is why there has been, well, basically non-stop screaming about the massively unqualified to actively dangerous people working in agencies in charged with, say, airport security, environmental controls, nuclear safety, and the internet," Steve said.

"So, today we'll discuss what qualifications you think should be in place for these jobs," Tony said. "An ideal résumé if you will."
