  1. RE: Fox News and the influence it has. Earlier today, the kids and I ate at a small diner outside of town. They had a pair of TV's on broadcasting Fox, on mute---with the captioning turned on. A segment on egg prices was played, and the chyron on the screen correctly stated it was because of bird flu, but the 3 people they interviewed on the segment (all some government official) clearly blamed the problem not on bird flu, but Biden policies that did not prevent bird flu. One person claimed the reason this was such a bad deal now is because the Biden admin slaughtered all these chickens. So, yeah----this is what is being fed to the populace. In 2024, it was Biden's fault egg prices were high. In 2025, it's bird flu, but the bird flu is Biden's fault.

  4. There's always tomorrow. Hell, I expect an EO mandating it.

  10. You left out "thoughts and prayers". Of course, maybe team GOP only knows to use that in regards to school shootings. Maybe "thank you for your sacrifice" will become the new term to use.
  11. Let's turn this around. What makes you so confident throughout this process that the people who took this offer are going to be made whole? People who are questioning it have seen what Musk and Trump have done throughout their careers. Musk has his fingerprints all over Treasury at present time, and they are currently, in spite of court orders, withholding congressionally mandated funding to cities, states and other organizations. You think some poor son of a bitch in Midland who took this offer is going to matter to these folks? And remember, anyone who took the offer waived the ability to sue afterward, so good luck with that.
  12. And then there's the whole CR that expires on March 14. This fucking letter promises funding that does not exist as of today, February 13th. In other words, these promises were illegal. And there are no guarantees that after the smoke clears on whatever CR is passed in a month (which, we all know....isn't a sure thing these days) there will be funding for people that resigned a month ago. Other than an email "promise" typed up by someone probably not old enough to purchase beer.
