You should not wake up at 7am on Saturday morning thinking about me. It’s not healthy. 
 

You already know that I am not gonna cry about federal government RIFs.

Nothing says "we know we're making a smart, well thought out decision" like trying to sneak their firings through on Friday night before a holiday weekend with a whole lot of other shit going on right now.

We’re well into the burn it down phase.  Keep the government closed so the military and ATC miss paychecks.  It’s going to get spicy.

Glad I'm driving for my next slate of business travel, JFC

Sir, the menu offers only the following choices:

1  Bat shit crazy

2  Craven coward kneeling in obedience to a fascist overlord

3  Ordinary grifter/crook

4  Breathtakingly incompetent

5  Staggeringly weak and impotent in resisting any of the four types of idiocy/evil listed above

 

Now, are you gonna order or what?  Because the drive-thru of America's Shittiest Political Future is getting kinda backed up.

Don’t forget what a hassle pronouns were. I mean, who wants to learn names.

I haven't had to fly for work since early last month, and I'm holding out hope they won't need me to until this shit is settled. What happens if ATC personnel, already not getting paid and hearing trump talk about no back pay, decide to walk out en masse?

Definitely a worry. Or at least there will be “sick outs”. Longer this goes the more stuff will be impacting air travel. (i fully get why TSA and ATC would be like “fuck this”) 

I have another trip out tomorrow from Sun-Wed and then a trip from Thu to Sun. Curious to see how off rails this starts to get.

we're already putting together a back up plan for our Chicago/Madison trip in a couple weeks... just leave the day before and drive,  overnight in Omaha.

i assume SWA will give vouchers in lieu of a refund which, whatever, we'll use them. but this shit needs to get settled before Thanksgiving week...driving to PR may be tricky 😝

Just don’t go there.  Nobody wants to revisit that, “How do sharks and mermaids on their period get along?”debate.

This entire admin is basically run to appeal to people like Ana. Announce that you’re going to hurt people he doesn’t like then quietly fix it because doing it is tremendously stoopid. 
 

Adults bigly in charge.

WASHINGTON, Oct 11 (Reuters) - In the second week of the U.S. government shutdown, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention notified some 1,300 employees they would be laid off - then rescinded hundreds of those notices within hours, a person familiar with the matter said.

Two thoughts on this shutdown.  

One, the pain point starts Oct 15 if military misses their paycheck, then the big one is if November 1 comes as federal employees miss their second check.

Two, I think Trump just wants Obamacare (ACA) renamed TrumpCare.  Then it will be the best most beautiful healthcare ever.


Third, it's the Epstein files.  It always has been.

trump's only issue with 'obamacare' is the name / branding. he has zero idea about any part of it

They have found that many who benefit from ACA, that want Obamacare repealed, don't realize they are the same thing.

That sounds really scary. Not sure if it will make a good Halloween outfit though.

Don't call what you're wearing an outfit. Maybe you could go with this for Halloween.
