    Can you prove you're essential

    I can think of one way of demonstrating how essential we are…

    If we weren’t essential we wouldn’t be going to work right now. We wouldn’t have been made to work through the pandemic. We would be allowed to strike. There is plenty of precedent of the government considering us essential.

    Has anyone else heard that funding for SAIC training has extended until the end of the year, or is this something I'm imaging... or dreaming?

    Heard that on a membership call... nobody seemed to know the truth.

    I know someone that works over there, and yes they’re funded through December now.

    Can anyone confirm this? Even if true, sounds like a long shot.

    When they paid the military on the 15th they used DOD money that was appropriated for R&D but not yet designated to spend on anything specific. Changing the color of the money so to speak.

    Unclear if there’s anywhere in the DOT budget they have money sitting around that was appropriated but is still un-designated. I don’t know enough about the details of the FAAs finances and I doubt anyone here really does either

    Not an expert but I honestly think there is nothing that can be touched without congressional approval.

    You think these mofos care about congressional approval? Not caring about consent is kinda their thing.

    How is the minority party, without control of either house of congress or the White House, shutting down the government? How did that party gain so much “power?” What other magic powers does it have with no control?

    Do you get their talking points sent to your email every day too? Can't you think for yourself? Do you really believe the BS you spew?

    Do...do you...do you think that Obamacare/ACA is insurance in itself?

    I don't. I think its another way that congress skims off the taxpayer. Also It ruined the workforce as those who used to work 40 hours a week now only work 28 hours so that they don't get company health insurance. Typical of the Dims and Congress overall. They make problems worse. EVERY TIME!

    Do you think it could be a glaring problem with our health care system that it makes sense for people to work 28 hours instead of 40?

    I stated an irrefutable fact. Not surprised to see it went over your head & was beyond your level of reading comprehension. Like Deadbeat Donnie said himself, “We won with the poorly educated. I love the poorly educated.”
