But that’s not what the Ds listed as their principal demand. It was about ACA subsidies expiring from a bill that they had written a few years before this.

The minute that they announced that I knew it was a lost cause, right up there with trying to get the Democrats to repeal Obamacare in 2013

Oh, it’s turned into a pretty bad newspaper, and I don’t look at it much

I actually don’t need a lot of editorials since I realized I’m usually smarter than the people that write them

Oh I blame both for this one

There are differences of opinion among different federal employees, but the position of the largest union has been that using shut downs to cause pain for some unrelated political goal is wrong.

I have seen four shutdowns and not once did the party started it achieve its goal. It’s a shit tactic.

Not a popular opinion here and I recognize my bias but they’re not wrong.

There are many people yelling about the idea of the end of the shutdown

Purporting to speak about what federal employees want

What we want is to not be used as political tools

Open the goddam government

I don’t think I have the picture anymore but three Christmases ago the local Winn-Dixie accidentally labeled the lamb racks at $2.70 per pound instead of $27 per pound

I filled my freezer with 10 racks of lamb, bought them out for less than $30
