There won’t be a (long) shut down. Maybe just over a weekend or holiday. The economy is too fragile to tolerate a long term, multi-week shut down. None of those loons want that over their heads - it’s all about their egos.
It’s only when the economy is strong and stable do they let it go long.

They don’t care anymore brother. They just made a policy that puts at risk 1/4 of the healthcare industry with 2 days of notice.

Stock market was up past two shutdowns as well

True but (unfortunately) those types of policy don't get the same type of media coverage as a shut down.

At least 25% of American doctors are on H1B visas. Trump dropped the $100k/per year H1B fee EO with less than 24 hours notice.

This will make american doctors more valuable huge win the biggest
Did anyone work those flights about to take off? There was at least 1 emirates flight at SFO where all the Indians demanded to be let off and it went back to the gate. They can stay in the USA but if they leave they can’t come back.

That fee is for the employer and it only applies to new visas fwiw. It’s also going to be tested in court, so who knows if it will hold up

And that’s not true either. Someone with a valid H1B can come and go as freely as before.

Looks like they clarified it but there was def people freaking out.

That wasn’t known at the time and basically every H1B employer was telling their employees to either stay in the US or get back to the US asap.

Flexeril is 8 days I think from last dose. I have a standing prescription after my back surgery my doctor puts in every year. I haven’t filled it (knock on wood) but I can anytime *if* my back gives me problems.

I guess the difference between me and you is I filled mine and put it in the medicine cabinet. I also have a steroid dose pack that is only a couple days but under my name.
Flight surgeon actually helped me switch to methocarbomol which isn’t that long. But I got both.
Excepted employees have 2 options to take approved leave during shutdown, OPM says
I posted this link in the 2019 thread and within a couple days the shutdown was over, imagine that. Poor employees who were ill at 4 east coast facilities inadvertently ended the longest shutdown in history.

We are rapidly approaching the point in our careers where the amount of fucks given are about empty. Having been around the agency quite a bit, as controllers filter into these other jobs, this attitude is increasingly becoming prevalent. The "prestige" and "just make it work" mentality is dying off rapidly.
Just in. A bill proposed to keep FAA funding during shut down.

So this would negate free leave?
ClearanceClarence said:So this would negate free leave?
It would theoretically also negate zero paychecks, but that depends on whether time and attendance gets done. You might at least get paid straight 80 during a shutdown and have to track diffs to make sure they backpay you properly. Might be less headache than having to track everything.

Dems would be so dumb to agree to this. So they probably will
