You realize federal workers will get paid for no productivity during this period? It’s like a delayed paid leave. What a waste.

Oh no. It’s a government shutdown. So unprecedented. It will be the fall of the republic. A pox on both your houses. :yawn:

These always worked out badly for the party that was trying to use the threat of a shutdown to enact a preferred policy rather than support a ‘clean’ CR.

For (I think) the first time, it’s the democrats in that role.

We’ll see how it works out for them.

They should have been more creative and said ‘the democrats want to kill all the nation’s puppies and kittens’.

I mean, if you’re going to just make something up from whole cloth, why not swing for the fence?

@LuFins-Dad time to set up a gofundme... as of 11am I cannot work (I'm a federal contractor), and do not get back--pay when the government re-opens. Time to tell the kids we're rationing the milk starting tonight.

On the plus side, I do have a garage slatwall project I've been meaning to get to!

Sorry to hear that. If worse comes to worse, I understand that we’re short on agricultural workers… That might help tide you over.

My guess is Elon turned them off for his people.

He complained about them a while back and said he’d ‘fix’ it.

Grok’s take:

As we discussed before, notes on high-profile conservative accounts (Vance, Musk, etc.) often underperform or vanish, per studies and user reports—potentially due to algorithmic tweaks, rater demographics, or manual intervention.
