My dear Friend & POTUS, DJT,

            I hope you enjoy your visit to the UPS Hapeville Airport Hub today. I encourage you to extend your stay. Why spend 4 hours flying to & from GA, when you will only be on the ground for 1.5 hours? I understand that your remarks today are going to be about how your changes to NEPA will expedite the construction of the new truck lanes on I-75, why not take a ride down I-75? By the way, are you sure those dedicated truck lanes are a good idea?

            Have you asked Ja’Ron Smith (JKS) about the changes you are making to the National Environmental Protection Act (NEPA.) According to today’s NYT, “The NEPA change is likely to have an outsized impact on low-income neighborhoods that are already disproportionately exposed to environmental hazards.” According to a recent piece about JKS  in the NYT (which was very complimentary), he’s your go-to guy when it comes to low-income neighborhoods. I know he’s a champion of “Opportunity Zones,” & those zones might not improve if the air quality suffers. I’m sure you’ve heard that folks with lung problems get slammed by CV, so let’s do all we can to protect the air.

            I’m sorry that the “Find Something New” ad campaign did not go over well. I think it’s great that you were encouraging people to get training to become wind turbine technicians. Does that mean that you’ve had a change of heart about wind generators? It’s too bad that laid-off workers are not receptive Ivanka’s employment advice.

Do you have plans to “Find Something New”?

            HYITL,
