'Do You Hold A Degree In Any Science?': Ryan Zinke Hammers Dem Witness Over Mining Impacts

[@K.navery2U]

We the people have had enough of activists holding positions that matter. go back to Harvard and find your safe space, adults are in charge now

[@forensicbadassprofiling]

We have to start asking.... Who hired this guy who clearly doesn't even have any qualifications to be installed in a power position like that? And why was a guy like this even hired? Let's hold everyone accountable for these horrors that they've inflicted upon the American people.

[@steveb796]

Look at the unqualified clowns Conald Dump is trying to put in.

[@booyahinc]

So only people who have been indoctrinated at a corrupt university are ‘qualified’ to have an informed opinion? Sure, it’s not like science and education can happen elsewhere, right? I mean, unless you also take pottery, how can you understand climate data?

[@jerryshelton1481]

No none of these people know what the hell they're talking about

If you're going to fight with a USNavy Seal, then you best do your homework!

[@peterschmidt1453]

It's not about land or environment, it's about graft, people trying to grab a share of wealth they had no hand in making. A deep underground mine is unlikely to affect the surface but grafters will try for a slice anyway.

[@mchankerhoff853]

Science died in 2020

It's the same as Shaolin Temple in Chy na,, the government and those in power reign over it and become the mouthpieces for them.

[@grampydeathblade2217]

I count 19 empty seats that Taxpayers are paying elected officials to be in. Some suggest; I must not know blah blah blah. If they cannot make it to a committee meeting that Taxpayers are paying them to attend, produce some method proving your need to be absent, assign someone else or resign from office. See, I'm flexible.

[@TruckLover-t3p]

More weakness placed into our government.

[@db151fpo3]

If you are called an "expert" to testify and don't have a science degree in a science-related field, then you should be kicked out of the room. Also, if you make a recommendation but never been to the area in question, your opinion should not be even in the record.

I’m so proud of my state. Ripped the federal liberal representation out and threw it away. We still have our pockets of gender confused insanity, but the state is finally red. Getting rid of Tester was huge.

Define Elk-not using any "arbitrary term"

[@gingermolina8356]

He got is degrees online

[@DeborahGrantham-xh6dn]

Won’t affect, Elk, birds, wildlife quite as much as surface mining for minerals needed for batteries, not as much as solar panels that require stripping the land of vegetation, or the building of wind generators that kill eagles and flocks of birds. Both of which cannot and are not recycled.

[@mikenero6704]

All these BS bureauceats need to go, be prevented from EVER, working in any US government position again!

[@wakcackle3555]

Does the mine receive any authority to tell someone on the surface that they no longer hold access to the surface?

[@fredgardner2870]

How about getting rid of all these committees,just have committees so senate and congress can act like they actually work,, they don’t work they act,,

[@donjohnson6634]

Please ask Bill Gates the same question and Honorary degrees are worthless.

Stop telling everyone Native Indians are sovereign nations ... They do Nothing but take US Govt tax dollars Annually and Do Nothing with it. They Pay No taxes based on Each Tribes (simply family Units) Compact agreement. If You wish to still be a Nomad, live off the land, Never Advance then by all means, join an Indian tribe. Its time to Think a lil more before giving it all up so a fish can go up stream, which it still does today.

[@patmcbride9853]

Reservations actually trap and harm Indians, even when they get a casino.

How many "certificates" from these goof-ball organizations are floating around, out there? As if holding one, makes you an "Expert Of Sensitivity & Compassion, Holding All Knowledge" kind of a guy.

You're doing a fantastic job! A bit off-topic, but I wanted to ask: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How can I transfer them to Binance?

[@chrisgriffiths2533]

Underground Mining Can Affect Surface Conditions. So More Detail Needed about Methodology. But Certainly if the Underground Machinery is Fossil Fuel Driven then the Air Exhaust System Will Reflect that Exhaust. Plus UnderGround Water, including Waste Water Will be Affected by All Underground Activities. Then there is Mine Fences and Mine Security. Interesting Topic.

[@ruthnovena40]

Every mine must have a sys in that filters all of this or they dont get a permit,

[@kevinwalker4623]

@@ruthnovena40 Supposedly true except when the epa polluted the colorado river from some obama mine a few years back. The government requires permits from citizens but are exempt.......

[@allenatkins2263]

You have a certificate in grifting.

[@mikethompson8881]

Easy answer. How you think people get machinery and personal to and from the mine?

[@KeepItReal33]

So we should shut down ALL roads and highways in the United States because it’s disruptive to wildlife?

[@spaceherpies]

One road doesn't destroy an entire hunting area. Try again.

[@mikethompson8881]

Did he ask if one road would destroy an entire hunting area, or did he ask how underground mining affects surface mining and fishing?

[@spaceherpies]

@@mikethompson8881 your answer amounts to hardly at all. Not a good reason to defend being against the mine.

[@mikethompson8881]

@spaceherpies Which one of those questions was asked? The first? Or the second?

What's ironic is you voted for Biden and Harris and you're calling into question a Republican's concern with qualifications? Now that's rich!

[@jackthereefer1]

Our installed Vegetable in Chief Joe Biden/Democrats are more concerned about filling quotas than hiring the most competent people. If the Democrats didn't have double standards, they wouldn't have any at all.
