        Holy shit. Ben Carson and Trump are literally changing the mission of HUD. They want to ignore discrimination and emphasize so-called "self sufficiency," which means SCREW the poor and minorities.https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2018/03/ben-carson-reportedly-to-release-new-hud-mission-statement-that-focuses-on-self-sufficiency.html …

        How good a surgeon was Carson? Why did he leave medicine? He always seems totally lost!

        Well for one thing, perhaps they could buy less expensive furniture for those dining rooms they have in their offices.

        Wasting time on new “mission statements” is indicative of how lost this agency is under its current “leadership”.

        Carson is the sloth from zootopia. A year later and he starts trying to figure out what he's doing there.
