federal agency tier list: S Tier: Parks Service, Postal Service A Tier: NASA B Tier: GAO, HUD, BLM C Tier: FDA, USPTO D Tier: DHS, DoD F Tier: FBI, CIA, NSA

we’re canceling you at D, B and C you’re still sus don’t get comfy

also the only reason I’m separating out D and F is: evil, evil and VERY secretive

Where are we putting the US Consumer Product Safety Commission?

uhhh B probably?

IRS?

NOAA's gotta be up there. I live on their cone of probability during hurricane season

I love NOAA so much, I think they may be S tier

getting dudes to fly through storms is tax money I'd pay for twice if I could

AC-130 gunship? *yawn* WC-130 hurricane hunter? 👀👀

have a NOAA friend: CONFIRMED S tier nhtsa also goated

I worked on a joint NOAA/NASA project and I suggest we keep them on the same tier.

yeah during tornado season too (and national weather center who was based where my uni was and would operate as a shelter for people during warnings and such)

ha, I have been to that town and during a tornado too. I think a few tornadoes actually.

it’s a required experience, when i left the state i had to drive through 2 of them lmao

CBP needs to be somewhere on here with an asterisk that says their folks who keep invasive species out get to be like, A or B

Wait are they DHS I can't keep track ngl

Forest Service for the most part

CBP is *Forest service?!* We truly are a weird fucking country

Oh no wait you mean the invasive species thing huh Ok yeah that makes sense cuz they totally do that, but also we do have CBP folks at ports of entry who keep em out too

yes! Forest Service tracks them and removes them, CBP keeps them out at the borders and ports Forest Service are great, A-tier

yeah lol you can tell this is a joke because the real answer is WAY more complex and full of edge cases like that

Luckily you have USCG covered at the same tier regardless of where they sit unless they stopped with that "we're DHS during peace and DoD during war" bullshit

USCG is still military so they’re with DoD more generally. least evil version though still VERY evil (war on drugs, us latam policy, etc)

Oh yeah fuck the coast guard 100% They should give me one of their boats tho And probably free gas for life

Yeah, like if the US could do open borders the way California does their "border control", that would be perfect

Petitioning to add FTC to like, at least B Tier as they've been batting a thousand after getting non-competes abolished and suing Adobe 🤣

A tier: +NOAA

cancelling you for ranking Black Lives Matter so low

I know you’re joking but the bureau of land management is like,,, mostly cool except for logging and some pasture stuff?

Yeah, BLM’s grazing rates are so low as to be a subsidy for ranchers. On the other hand, they own the land that Burning Man happens on and they keep people from trashing it.

I have a friend who works for the Parks Service and she is delightful

extremely accurate, no notes

I’m a proud naturalized citizen who will only have to google two of these

mostly agree, but the history of the Parks Service is super problematic (i.e. full of nationalists and white supremacists)

FTC and SEC at B

SSA F tier, IRS would be S tier if they had any ability to do anything but have been nerfed to C by our evil overlords who know that it's the secret to our salvation this is really fun and I love you for doing it, I'm obsessed but will stop now

NOAA!

Don’t forget NOAA!!! S tier for real

I think CFPB should be in one of the higher tiers

where would you put NIH? A tier?

god yeah NIH is pretty unassailable

WHERE TVA

oh man B to C probably??? they displaced *so* many people but also did a lot of extremely important and good infrastructure.

Fair. Careful or we’ll make you rate Constantines next

OH NO THIS IS A GREAT IDEA putting Constantine V Kopronimos in S tier just to piss off some Orthodox Greeks.

The only thing keeping me from putting Constantine I in F tier is that it’d be unfair to rate him the same as his son

No OSHA? Cmon Cara

EPA also not found 😧

FAA gotta be C Tier. Used to be B tier but they are too underfunded to be anything over C.
