This is a bigger issue than people realize. Not just jobs lost. But their families losing benefits. Landlords losing tenants. Cities and towns losing revenue. This is how recessions start

More accurate, fewer words;
"There are plenty of contractors going under".
A friend furloughed 75% of staff (furlough w/paying for health insurance for three months), 50% exec pay cut, 25% rest of staff to keep as many people w/salary.
PS: Wasn't 18F a government office, not a contractor.

Vance just chose to roast Europe & stoke a culture war while ignoring an actual war on the Continent.
He gloated about Brexit & said Russian interference in Romania was its own fault:

It may be the most alarming speech ever given by a US official, let alone a Vice President, to a European audience.
