Yay day 30 and nothing feels new
Let’s go for sixty!
How are various government contractors doing throughout all of this? Curious…
It took only 10 ATC employees to call in sick last time to end the last shutdown. 10. Out of a total of over 11 _thousand_ employees. Just 10.
Imagine being in a rare position to achieve great change and end a shutdown and not needing huge numbers to do it, and doing absolutely fuck all about it.
Come on, ATC. You didn’t start this shutdown, but you can sure as hell end it. Call in sick. Learn from history. We know it works, it literally worked the last time this situation happened. It’s up to you to come to that realization.
Time for another thread where nothing happens. But we allow trolls to make stupid arguments and tell us nothing matters anymore.
There, saved you an entire day’s worth of discussion points. Go outside and do something meaningful in your neighborhood.
The fact that Republicans whole messaging revolves around accusing Democrats of wanting to.. *checks notes*.. give people healthcare.. is not the argument they think it is.
America is about to go hangry thanks to this administration.
