twelve years. The feds claimed the statute of limitations bars Plaintiffs’ claim because “Plaintiffs and their predecessors in interest ‘knew or should have known’ that the United States claimed a conflicting interest in the … Allotment more than twelve years (indeed, more than a century) prior to commencement of this litigation.” They submitted a large number of exhibits to back up their claim, including a 1977 definition of an allotment in the federal register and a 2004 environmental assessment, all of which contains statements such as “land owned or under the control of the Forest Service.” Then, of course, there were the grazing permits themselves which permitted grazing “upon lands owned or controlled by the United States within the Apache National Forest” (1948) and “upon lands administered by the Forest Service within the Gila National Forest.” The feds won. Many times we are very busy and resent all the time spent dealing with government forms. You best slowdown and be knowledgeable about what you are signing.
USDA hacked Something is awry with USDA’s computers. “A large cache of publicly-accessible PDFs recently started appearing on USDA.gov that link to pirated media including movies, TV shows, sporting events, and video games in what appears to be either a hack, an inside job, or some kind of bizarre glitch.” Don’t worry friends. All your data and personal info is perfectly safe with them!
VR goggles After reading a study about how virtual reality goggles made cows happier, a dairy farmer decided to try it out on a few of his cows. He reports success, in that “milk production went from 22 litres to 27 litres per day.” If you see a taxpayer wearing a government-issued VR headset, you will know we are all in trouble. Until next time, be a nuisance to the devil and don’t forget to check that cinch.
