This is sidebar, but I’ve said this exact thing about calling and saying “I can’t make it in” on an OT shift. Pretty sure you can’t get a letter if you aren’t being charged sick leave and you never stated you were sick. Where people have fucked up in the past is abusing fatigue leave because then your ATM can draw a medical nexus from that and report it to your servicing flight surgeon, without violating HIPAA.
What is this medical Nexus you speak of ?
If you were watching this unfold in a movie, you would probably turn it off and say, “This movie is over the top. This would never happen. That’s now how the federal government works. That’s not how any of this works.” And yet……
I can understand that sentiment, but remember “Markets can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent.” - John Maynard Keynes.
It’s ok. I’ll hang out for a couple months and see what happens. This isn’t normal
I understand. The G fund investing in U.S. Treasury securities backed by the “full faith and credit of the U.S. government” might now be in question when Musk & his cohort of dweebs now have access to the Treasury payment system.
If that crashes then I don’t think anything matters anymore.
Good point. Maybe, those folks who invested in all those survival goods & seeds Glenn Beck was hawking back in 2009 will finally be proven right. The Preppers may be our new wealthy class.
Have fun being poor!
🤣 People so dramatic
So you didn't read what I wrote upthread a few days ago? All Trump has to do is sign a document and the backpay guarantee goes away. They are literally wiping out departments and firing people without any regard to the laws and processes that normally apply. And except in a couple extreme cases, nobody is intervening. Considering his personal friend now has control of the Treasury, I wouldn't even bank on receiving any backpay. (Not like we have any power as workers to stop it, either)
Lay off the drugs
Layoff the boots.
Well an executive order cannot change an act of congress so I guess you can calm down. I'd imagine a delay may happen but the law was passed in 2019 and I said there won't be a shutdown again because of it. If there was a shutdown OH BOY would it be crazy in this climate.
Exactly. The stupid anti-birthright EO, that tried to ignore the 14th Amendment along with case law that has supported it, was slapped down by a federal judge. There might be delays that require a judge to lay down the law, but federal statutes always supersede EOs.
I hope they shut it down, I got PPL to burn and it be badass if it was free lol
