We should send him on a voyage of discovery, where he "tours" each prison for, oh say, 5 years and then once he has been through all of them he gets to pick the one he can serve his prison sentence.

He probably actually believes that there are luxury, coddling prisons where people intentionally go to jail on the taxpayer's dime so they can have have free room and board and not have to find a job.

I know Newsom isn’t ideal but he has national profile & contempt for maga nonsense & Fetterman is becoming one of the most popular Dems nationally. Know we’re gonna get stuck with Biden/Harris limping across the finish line but oh well. Really, Newsom? What works for CA won’t work for the rest of the US. Give me Whitmer any day

Mustang posted:We should have burned the South to the ground after the Civil War, Southern white society didn't have any redeeming factors and contributes nothing to the US. It's still a cultural backwater of ignorant racists and bigots to this day. Do you have any idea how many variations on this post you’ve done since, I dunno let’s just draw an arbitrary line to Covid-19? The south has you hosed up man. It’s not too bad if you’ve got money. Sorry you tried living in Florida broke. That poo poo would suck if you weren’t into the weather and never got to enjoy poo poo like the nature of Florida because you are couch surfing or working a triple or whatever other hell you had to go through to live in FL as a College student without the GI bill I assume. (I’m like 99% sure you weren’t dumb enough to be Prior-E..) You and Florida are like me and Weed and also like most Jimmy Buffet songs- old hat! And everyone knows the tune even if they don’t know the exact words. I want to help you not feel so angry about a place you no longer live and never have to again. And that will be completely underwater and memory holed by 2223. Don’t worry about burning down the south, until the gulf waters get to the Appalachian’s/smokies it’s gonna mostly drown itself. Time and climate change are not on the Southeast’s time. Not looking great for you in the PNW either- but at least you like we’re your living man. You should focus more on that, the area and geography you love. You are the furthest thing from insufferable when it comes to this- but I’d just like to see you be happier man and I swear to god I think you’d be happier focusing on Washington and all the great things there where you live instead of Florida where you (thankfully for you) don’t have to live. 🙏

goddammit there's about 2/5 of us down here that aren't like that and our only hope to leave is for all the chud shitbirds in blue and purple states to keep moving here and creating vacancies where they came from that we can take while also reducing their electoral influence by overconcentrating themselves so if you wanna do something constructive get into conservative spaces and start helping convince more of those assholes that SC is the new FL so I can get the gently caress out of here

Almost every government person I've talked to in the past few weeks have had no idea there's even the potential of government shutdown on the horizon, it's hilarious. Ironically the only one tracking already had vacation booked months ago for the first two weeks of October and will be enjoying the chaos from Barcelona.

If you're a contractor, you're funded, and you're doing the work off government property you're solid until the funding runs out. If any of those aren't true then get ready to do nothing and not get paid for it.

The first is true, second is above my pay grade but I think we have a couple tranches of funding, and we are well and truly on govt property. So it's a land of contrasts? I expect whatever happens we'll get flogged and told to keep at it, if at least by our own management to try and regain some lost schedule.

For what it's worth, this is the first time I've heard of any type of plan, to the extent that "House Leadership" actually exists: https://twitter.com/bresreports/status/1704627673199194141?t=_uwaagItbalH_1bVCG08pA&s=19 My guess is that it gets torpedoed before Saturday and then a whole lot of shutdown plans get dusted off.

There's a chance your work will be deemed essential and you'll be allowed to come on site and do it but it will be very circumscribed if so. That decision will be made by the client.

From personal experience, we've run into issues during past shutdowns where the Government failed to forward fund their contracts (i.e. like paying your utility bill ahead of time if you know you're not going to be around to send the check at the first of the month for the non-government contractor types) and then finding out the guy who signs the checks was deemed non-essential and sent home when they ended up coming up short. Any office's shutdown plan should include those types of considerations although it's dependent on how on the ball the Contracting Office and Program Control are.

I haven't heard about a contract keeping its funding status quiet before. My employer proclaimed our full funding rather loudly.

At this point if you weren't already forward funded out of FY23 it isn't happening. If the contract is structured to rely on incremental funding that began at the start of FY24 you're out of luck too.

Looks to me like it's time to buckle up for a shut down. The coo-coo for cocoa puffs wingnut-o-sphere is just completely off the reservation on this stuff and don't look like they're headed back to civilization any time soon. Their plan seems to be trying to distract everyone from the shutdown via impeachment which is.....well good luck with that. Glad the concept of a default had the can kicked down the road a good few years because these loving loons are just crazy enough to do it.

A lot of air traffic controllers think that several facilities on the east coast having a lot of people starting to call in sick helped end the last shut down so I won’t be at all shocked if there are immediate impacts to air travel with even more staffing shortages than we have normally. So good luck if you’re planning on flying anywhere. It was never really an issue before even though the leave is free as it doesn’t actually exist but people got fed up missing a few paychecks.

Guess it’s a good thing I got refundable airfare. Goddamnit.

She tried contacting the government office and she couldn't get a sufficient response. So since she was about to have a baby, she decided to name her baby something stupid that would obviously get rejected to find out what happened. Oh, they didn't miss it. Some clerk she'd badgered for info previously saw that, and had a fit of malicious compliance.
