Not that it makes it easy to go a month without a paycheck

isn’t it common practice/advice in the USA to have a buffer ? I know not everyone has the opportunity to do so, but I taught my kids to aim for a buffer of at least 2x netto paycheck to cover emergencies/unforeseen. Or if the own a house, car etc aim for 8x. They still do that and it helped them to stay out of debt (other than for buying the house).

Dutch army '87-'88. One of the things they had as a rule: you would be placed in a position where you could learn a new thing. That mean that t.ex. a carpenter was learned how to cook while a cook was learned carpentry.

agents working without pay during shutdown

I also read air traffic employees calling in sick by the dozens (okay the have some other beef too) but how does that work in general ? Will government employees get payed for the hours worked during the shutdown whenever it ends ?

I’ve had it, and i’m in favor. Though not perfect, there are good aspects that helps to learn and accept how a society works.

small as one could reasonably allow, and the ceramic is almost an inch thick

they better heat that cup with a blowtorch for 5 min. before they pour coffee in it or they will only be serving something akin to iced coffee

starbucks has no coffee. just some sugared fluid on which they insist it must be mixed with milk, one way or the other

in the light version? yes!

Sure. Enough money and military available for an extra hobby. /s

You mean just like … tariffs ?

The top 5:

• 36 days and counting
• 35 days
• 21 days
• 17 days
• 16 days

The gap between 2:nd and 3:rd as well as looking at an overall average of around 10 days … Is’t a strange and worrying record that trump is holding with his 1st and 2nd place.

PS: could someone call DOGE? The 35 day shutdown costed the usa $5 billion this ain’t gonna be cheaper

You’re not wrong. It’s uplifting news, but it’s a turning point at best. The USA really need to keep that momentum going. There is still a long road ahead.

If not for the suits they could be mistaken for an ICE team /s

thrown into jail

and no doubt … raped

OMG! Who is in control of the government ??? Tell them to end the shutdown ! … oh … wait…

@trump : You already had place 1 & 2 for several days now, but as of today both are a 35 streak! No way a new record can escape you ! CONGRATULATIONS !! (too soon?? /s)

Absolutely!
