no way this shutdown lasts another month let alone a year. I can’t even see it lasting through the weekend before thanksgiving. ATC just got their second $0.00 paycheck and I’m expecting this weekend to absolutely fall apart. Most Americans tolerance for an ideological crusade will vanish once they realize it might ruin their holiday plans. Hopefully the senate gets their head out of their @$$ and pays our ATC and TSA.
They held a vote in the Senate for bill solely to do just that. Only 3 democrats crossed over to vote for a bill just to pay military, ATC TSA and other critical fed gov workers. Fetterman, Osoff and Warnock were the cross overs.
Running the fed gov on CRs is bad policy. We need a budget.
Now on topic yeah the mid looks like some FOMO perhaps coming in the actual award.
