While the Democrat spending spree continues to devastate Americans and demolish the economy, Whoever is Running the Biden Administration (Ron Klain?) just gave their wife a made-up job with full pay and benefits.
“For the first time, the United States is designating a special diplomat to advocate for global biodiversity amid what policymakers here and overseas increasingly recognize as an extinction crisis,” the Washington Post reported on Thursday, under the headline “In a first, U.S. appoints a diplomat for plants and animals.”
“Secretary Antony Blinken has designated Monica P. Medina as the United States’ Special Envoy for Biodiversity and Water Resources, signaling the Biden-Harris Administration’s commitment to resolving the world’s intertwined biodiversity and water crises,” the State Department announced Wednesday. “Monica Medina is the Assistant Secretary of State for Oceans and International Environmental and Scientific Affairs and will take on the Special Envoy designation in addition to her current duties.”
Medina is an environmental activist lawyer (Georgetown and Columbia) who founded an Environmental Newsletter. She has experience in the swamp, and her hubby happens to be the guy who is probably running the country (into the ground). No, not Joe Biden, White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain.
Klain runs things, including deciding who gets cushy jobs like Special Envoy to the Earth Birthing Person. It is a position that will require a workspace, office staff, supplies, underlings, and a large budget, all of which will add to the government’s already significant carbon footprint, deforestation, and emissions. It will also increase the regulatory burden, which, by extension, will exacerbate that carbon footprint exponentially across the increasingly fruitless plains.
As usual, this is the opposite of the advertised outcome.
Do you know what would reduce emissions if you are into that? Downsizing the federal government. It is probably one of the biggest polluters on the planet. But that’s not what Democrats are after. Their number one goal is to grow government, even if it means creating a make-work job for the White House Chief of Staff’s wife.
The Lorax with a six-figure salary and a mission to increase emissions.
