When rates increase like this, people don’t pay more for insurance. They pay LESS because they no longer pay for it at all.

Note as awful as this is, it doesn’t apply to ATC, because ATC ISN’T furloughed. They’re excepted, and therefore working through it. They just have to wait, like other excepted Fed employees, to get paid until the government opens again and there’s money to pay them.

Guys, every person you see on Fox News in a mask is just Robert O'Neill, retired Navy Seal and occasional Fox News contributor. He's the former Antifa, former Gazan, former gang member. His eyes are very unique.

It’s the Bezos Post now. No point in reading it. Total loss.

As far as I can tell, this report is that Trump WASN’T spotted traveling to his golf club. Only his motorcade was.

The New York Times is a gaming app cosplaying as authoritative.

The only place I see Glenn referenced … ever … is by NYT Pitchbot. Is he really a thing any more?

I read “Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man” in college, and wanted to beat Joyce to death with my hands.
