    But it was stupid, especially since they are supposedly so all about cutting government waste. Changing names of stuff, and being strict about adhearance to the change, is expensive and a waste.


    Why do you think it was stupid? There are geographic renamings every day.

    There really aren't.

    How is it expensive and a waste? Wow much did it hurt the american people? honestly is it any different than declaring it '(subject) day'?

    Because they are enforcing strict adhearance, that means someone...
    developers, administrative employees, etc... had to go through every bit of code, maps, signs, weather report templates, and anything else with that name and change it.

    Everytime we went through an administration change, some dumbass would get
    a bee in their bonnet and want to rename a bunck of stuff. We'd estimate
    how many (usually millions of) dollars it would cost just to change the
    code. If they weren't really a dumbass, they'd freak out and back off.

    If they were a dumbass, we'd do the work and spend the money doing something that makes ZERO money for the government, which makes it a WASTE.

    I never said declaring something "(subject) day" wasn't also a waste. I am
    not that type.

    not that you are aware of. There are streets, rivers, trails, walkways, buildings, cities, and towns that get renamed.

    are you sure about that? is there a law that they have to adhere to the change? do they have to drop what they are doing right now and make the change now, or just do it when there's many more changes due?

    hange

    Trump's press secretary said that all government offices would be adhering
    to the change. I am as sure as she is.

    do they have to drop what they are doing right now and make the change now,
    r
    just do it when there's many more changes due?

    Per what the press secretary said, it sounded like a drop everything and do
    it.

    so what do they have to do?
    do people even know?

    Is it really prudent to think about it right now?

    Per what the press secretary said, it sounded like a drop everything and do it.


    this is just food for people with tds.
