When I was in the airport yesterday, there was a handful of NATCA people pamphleting to get passersby to call Congress and demand an end to the shutdown. Edit: I told them I wish I could help, but all my Senators are Democrats and are already trying to reopen the government, and the House already passed a CR. The guy was like "we try not to take a political stance." Akumu fucked around with this message at 01:19 on Jan 24, 2019 |

booseek posted:Don't open up any kind of investment portfolio through Chase or any other bank. You will be killed with fees compared to a low cost mutual fund. They can't prove to you that their portfolio will do better than a portfolio of index funds so why pay the exorbitant fees? Apropos of nothing, this reminded me of one of the most underrated accounts - Charles Schwab checking. It's totally free and they reimburse any ATM fees and no foreign transaction fees. Super useful if you find yourself in countries that only take cash or you're just sick of being nicked and dimed by your bank. They open a money market account in your name, but there's no requirement you use it. Only downside is no branches so you have to do all your banking online.

Owlofcreamcheese posted:ICBMs are all far out in the middle on no where, submarines supplies are all on the coast though, and I don't really know where nuclear bombs for planes are typically kept. if the US actually broke into 5 sections I'm not sure how much each would be nuclear armed or to what degree. The B2 bomber fleet is stationed out of Missouri so there's probably a sizable stockpile there for the Air Force

Yeah, based on the lists of Senate Rs feeling the strain that have been floating around, figure there's probably enough uncertainty in Mitch's caucus to pass the clean CR, but I've got real doubts about sending it to Trump with a veto-proof majority. Ain't gonna happen.

I don't think this was posted here, but re: air travel and stuff: the shutdown is already affecting safety: https://twitter.com/jonostrower/status/1087798047453569026 (This was for a general aviation accident, but to simply say "yeah no we ain't doin poo poo for right now" is horrible. (They apparently sent a furloughed investigator after public backlash, but the fact that they were expecting to get away with doing nothing is proof that this shutdown is actually going to kill people in more visceral ways than just starving them out)

Nuclear weapons are based around the US so they don't all get obliterated in a first strike. It makes sense that every region has some nuclear capability.

Breaking into old peoples houses, and killing them. No none motive. Everybody I know in the area is scared, checking up on there parents. The works. They finally catch a suspect. He's undocumented. Literally perfect fox news bait. Nobody is talking about it. Maybe it's popped up on radio, but nothing from the usual sources. At most you get dumb poo poo about accusing Trump of using it to try and distract from the wall. Maybe he said something. He says a lot. People are pissed off about the shut down to the point where they can be both afraid of a serial killer and still recognize it's not the biggest problem they have to deal with.
