The Washington Post @washingtonpost.com · 2d

The first wave of missed paychecks from the government shutdown is likely to hurt the economy in many communities.

The longer other services remain shut off, the more the shutdown’s effects will spread.

The pain from the government shutdown is about to hit the public

Federal officials are bracing for the worst effects of the ongoing government shutdown to collide with the U.S. economy this week as missed paychecks and the absence billions of dollars of government ...

How is it not clear our MSM is all National Enquirer/Russian State shit now? People need to turn it all OFF, don’t click on MSM clips or read subscriptions (except substack), listen to overseas news and independent media, boycott advertisers, etc.
