We did ATL to Hawaii for 8 hours, that wasn't bad.

UK from New Jersey was somehow worse and it was only 7 hours.

Okay quick thread of the sort of stuff you'll get if you pay a modest monthly or yearly amount to read Gravity Is Gone:

Today's newsletter, about the shutdown and RIFs and how employees are so in the dark that their bosses want them to email UP the chain if they get fired.

Federal Employees Have Been Asked to Tell Their Bosses if They Get Fired

Multiple people at multiple agencies said their bosses have told them to email up the chain if they hear about RIFs, because, per one source, "they probably won't be told if people are fired."

Oh, does it benefit the US to provide aid to foreign countries? That would have been good to know back in January and February.

Three key points:
1) The admin has been planning mass firings to begin in October since February
2) The work necessary to carry out mass firings is illegal during a shutdown, violating the Antideficiency Act, which carries a criminal penalty
3) This harms America, ridding us of talent and expertise

But don't worry, the media will breathlessly repeat the administration's bullshit

These are RIFs which were telegraphed before the shutdown.

Obama is lucky they have him one when they did, the drone strikes may have changed the conversation.

So many people die on our roads and there are communities that hiss and claw and fight to avoid any kind of restriction on their right to speed through them.

Greater Greater Washington @ggwash.org · 1d

As Montgomery County officials consider recommendations for safety improvements on one of Maryland's most dangerous roads, some neighbors have a need for speed.

Pro-speeding yard signs appear along University Boulevard

What exactly is the demarcation in this war? States are generally 45-55 splits, if that.

Why do people fantasize (and fatalize) about a civil war like conflict when you don't really have a separation,?

Surging debt is just part of the problem, according to Dalio. Festering global conflicts and wealth inequality are also creating an environment with “plenty to worry about,” he said.
