I'm a federal employee being required to work during the shutdown (if it happens). I have a critical public safety related job. I'll probably get paid when it's all over. However, I have a lot of coworkers that are really getting fucked
Because I hate hearing about bourgeois bullshit I haven't been paying attention to congressional news. Well, now they got my attention. What the hell is going on over there?
Woah, the Americans are doing war in my one bastion of peace? My sanctuary? Get that beacon out of here!!!
typical americans sticking their flag literally everywhere it's not wanted
GOP wants to cut funding to a bunch of shit, including Ukraine, and do some fucked shit at the border. They seem pretty split on it though. I assume the Dems will cave eventually and they will compromise soon. idk tho, I haven't been following it that closely.
It always amazes me that the US has a system where if the government fails to do the one thing it has to do, they just close it.
It doesn't have to, they could just pass a bill that it would automatically renew the year before's if they don't reach a new agreement in time. They do this so they can have these dramatic little fights.
This is how Canada and the UK function. I imagine it's why the political fights are marginally less dumb.
Yeah, and the GOP wants cuts from that funding so they won't do it. The whole system just creates a terrible opportunity for this shit to happen again and again though.
I was almost right. I told my wife it was probably a fight over whether we should focus on emisserating Russian workers or emisserating Chinese workers. I forgot about our Mexican and Central American comrades. I'll try to do better.
Edit: my wife can't listen to bourgeois news either.
The Obstruction Party is doing Obstruction; soooo much Obstruction they are Obstructioning fellow Obstructioners.
