...which is why he had to buy a president instead of buy the presidency.

Or just run them without TSA, like we used to before 9/11

It may be wrong, but here I'm hoping someone starts a paparazzi site where people anonymously tip off the location of these celebrities and keep track of where they are all the time.

And if someone is going to hijack a plane to pilot it into a building, i doubt their mission would depend on a large tube of toothpaste and a nail clipper

He made a bunch of his cars bulletproof and even a couple that can withstand a chemical attack. I think he's been scared the whole time.

Probably because parks and museums usually just close whenever this happens, so they're not working without pay. They're just on an indefinite suspension

I can't imagine coming in to work if I'm not being paid on time. Indeed, if there's even a whiff of maybe I won't get paid, I'm not coming in unless I'm paid in advance.

Every government worker that is told they're not getting paid should do that. Money in my account now, before I come in to work.

So is a South African buying his way into the U.S. presidency, but here we are.

We seriously need a law that prevents this stupid shit from happening again. Maybe if they don't pass funding, we just renew the last passed funding

What we do in Australia is of the government can't pass a budget we dissolve the government and go for elections.
Clearly the MP are not doing their jobs so make them run for their jobs again.

Why doesn't the "no new wars!" gang cut military spending by 65-80%? Defense readiness doesn't cost $800B/ year.

Damn. Imagine just showing up to work knowing you won't be paid, with a bunch of other coworkers who are in the exact same socio-economic hostage crisis.

Gotta wonder if there's some kind of organizational remedy. Like... a collection of workers who could all respond together as a single labor unit to demand a different set of policies on pain of withholding their labor until their demands are met.

Until working is optional I never blame the lowest in the hierarchy. I've worked some shit jobs of questionable morality in my time because I had to eat and pay rent and couldn't gamble having a roof over my head on a better job coming along.

All airport jobs look shit, I mean that sympathetically.

You don't like poorly trained, poorly paid rent-a-cops screaming at you to take of your shoes and empty your pockets and x-ray you while they steal your Nintendo Switch?

Sure, but people still go there to try and make money for their livelyhood, sham or not they don't deserve to be unpaid.

Nope. Elon Musk is still the president.
