boondoggle

In August, EPA administrator Lee Zeldin said in a post on X that the Solar for All program was a “boondoggle” and that the agency no longer had statutory authority to administer the funds.

Whatever they think, the 39 scientists are part of a machine now defending its own activity and privilege, in one of biggest boondoggles in the history of policy making.

And no rules at the Guardian, apparently, regarding outrageous boondoggles and ocean-going junkets.

We also see a collective resistance: a statewide prisoner strike in 2022 that tries to call attention to a free-labor boondoggle that can only be called modern slavery.

Ossoff called Georgia Pathways “a boondoggle that’s wasted tens of millions on pricey consultants while Georgia hospitals struggle and Georgians get sick without health insurance.”
