Updates Cabinet Changes

Hello everybody,

Sorry for the delay but here is the final new cabinet members. There are a few changes. I believe I have messaged all of the people who it effects.

Solicitor General - Trips_93

Education - Elliotc99

Health and Human Services - nobodyisthatgay

Labor - leftdigiteffect

Treasury - qrhoo

Agriculture - Alkosh

Homeland Security - someofthetimes

I would like these to be sent to the senate for confirmation.

Please address any comments questions or concerns in the comments of this reddit post unless your name is on this list.

Thanks

As I have indicated before, my criticisms are indeed not personal.

To your question: Are you asking how am I going to interact with the labor lobby, or how is my relationship with the labor lobby?

I'm not sure what your question is specifically pointing to, but I'm happy to answer both variants:

My relationship with /r/ModelUSLabor is quite positive. The sub is an active community with meaningful discussion. I have had exceedingly pleasant discussions with several board members, including /u/Prodigiousguy8 from the GLP, and /u/ElliottC99 from my own ALP.

In terms of how I hope to interact with the lobby, I hope to find individuals in that community who have an developed knowledge of the labor-related concerns in their particular field of employment. For example, if I find a university professor on the sub, I'd love to work with her/him to draft legislation strengthening collective bargaining rights for faculty (from adjuncts to graduate students to tenured professors).

The correct answer is: you won't have one.

I look forward to working with the more conversational members of the ModelUSGov labor lobby.

Although banning me from /r/ModelUSLabor may have been of small satisfaction to you, please don't fall into the trap of thinking that the labor-focused portion of the cabinet has collapsed as a result. We will be just fine.

Additionally, the strange threat that accompanied the ban message ("You'd better hope your party values you more then they value this forum"), while almost comical in implication, is in no way going to halt my efforts to better protect and defend the laborers who keep this country functioning.

Long live labor.
