As someone with adhd, I do like the way it breaks up the text for readability. Just bullet points would work well too though.
A someone else with ADHD, it absolutely wrecks the flow I get into trying to read it.
E: It's really important though so I'm going to reply to myself in a bit after making an edit that would make it easier for me, myself, to read, in the hopes it'll help someone else like me. (The process of editing it will make it something I can read, lol.)
Disclaimer: I did this because it's what's easiest for me to read, and hopefully it'll help someone else.
This Executive Order does the following:
This is the biggest executive power grab in U.S. history.
If left unchecked, this is the moment the U.S. ceases to function as a democratic republic.
#The President Now Controls All Regulatory Agencies
The SEC, FTC, FCC, and FEC are no longer independent.
Elections are now influenced by direct White House oversight of the Federal Election Commission (FEC).
The FDA, EPA, and consumer protection agencies are fully politicized.
Implication: There is no longer any neutral enforcement of economic, environmental, or election laws. Everything is now dictated by political loyalty.
The White House Can Block Agency Budgets or Direct Funds Elsewhere
Implication: Congress no longer controls federal spending on regulatory enforcement. The executive branch can choke out opposition agencies and reward allies.
The President & Attorney General Have Final Say on All Legal Interpretations All federal employees must follow White House interpretations of the law.
Implication: Legal consistency is gone. Agencies cannot push back against corrupt, illegal, or unconstitutional directives because the President’s interpretation is the only interpretation allowed.
Installing White House Liaisons in All Regulatory Agencies
A “White House Liaison” will be placed in every independent agency.
Implication: There is now a direct enforcement arm inside every regulatory body. Even agencies that resist presidential control will be internally monitored and controlled.
Seeing how I got downvoted I get that many people may actually like reading those text full of those emoticons. I guess I’m becoming too old.
Oh wow! Well, that was uncalled for! I wasn't one, your opinion is valid for you, not everyone likes the same formats for walls of text.
