There is no lawful reason to justify the distinction for the Department to exclude perched water...
All water bodies in Missouri need to be protected by the Missouri DNR.
The MO DNR is in charge of limiting water pollution in MO. NOW, they are attempting to make their rules even more unaccountable than they already are...
"Perched water" is the water that cracks foundations and basement walls over time as it either flows down to the groundwater table or out to a surface water source.
This is being done in response to the United Hog Systems CAFO application in Livingston County...

Slavery is not a sin. It is never outlawed by the Bible. Manstealing is but not slavery.

1/“What would need to be true for you to….X”
Why is this the most powerful question you can ask when attempting to reach an agreement with another human being or organization?
A thread, co-written by @deanmbrody:
2/ First, “X” could be lots of things. Examples: What would need to be true for you to
- “Feel it's in our best interest for me to be CMO"
- “Feel that we’re in a good place as a company”
- “Feel that we’re on the same page”
- “Feel that we both got what we wanted from this deal
3/ Normally, we aren’t that direct. Example from startup/VC land:
Founders leave VC meetings thinking that every VC will invest, but they rarely do.
Worse over, the founders don’t know what they need to do in order to be fundable.
4/ So why should you ask the magic Q?
To get clarity.
You want to know where you stand, and what it takes to get what you want in a way that also gets them what they want.
It also holds them (mentally) accountable once the thing they need becomes true.
5/ Staying in the context of soliciting investors, the question is “what would need to be true for you to want to invest (or partner with us on this journey, etc)?”
Multiple responses to this question are likely to deliver a positive result.
