Believing that education will suffer if the US Department of Education is downsized is laughably simplistic.

Yes, but Marchionne has been very local about how much these regs are negatively impacting his company. (I would know, I used to work for the dude).

Nate has just be proven to be wrong all the time now. He was correct once and people got a boner for him. He was never right again.

I have to apologize for Kinja user marathag who is trying to push around misinformation about who controls energy policy in the US and Canada

Words have meanings. EVERYONE knows what the word permanent means. If you don’t actually mean permanent, don’t use the word permanent. Linguistic fidelity is a great attribute to have in someone that is paid to convey ideas to the masses. Arbitrarily redefining words to sensationalize headlines is not.
