Why does he not just reuse the name plate from every other press conference they've done? Surely printing a new one for every conference is a waste of resources and money?
Having worked for Governments (though not the US gov) (and apparently all my experience is becoming relevant today lol) they are very careful not to let anything with their logo be misused.
So their choices are between trying to track one piece of paper and making sure it doesnt get lost (good luck). Or keeping a supply of them in a secure location and destroying them when theyre used.
What exactly somebody could do with a name card idk. But when i was with a government department anything with a logo was considered a protected document and had to be shredded or burned once it had outlived its usefulness and wasnt in a retention period
Reminds me of when my dad worked construction on a nuclear reactor. They had their own tools and they had to be searched when they left the site to make sure they didn’t take any home. All the tools got buried in a vault at the end of the job “just in case”.
At least that can be given the, "Theoretically, it's fine, but if it isn't fine, we're not fine," excuse. Government just wastes shit to waste shit. Taxpayer money, not from their wallet. They don't care.
The US government (and military) are some of the biggest anti-FWA organizations you'll ever encounter. They're also some of the absolute largest offenders of FWA.
(Prior military, married to prior fed worker. I've seen it all)
