Yanno folks….I’ve been thru quite a number of so-called shut downs. Only “non-essential” personnel are off work. Out of the “gazillion” govt employees, I doubt it’s a large percentage. I don’t get snap or other aid but I’m old enough for the mandatory ‘old age checks’. Never missed one yet.
Can a certain type of folks be ready to stir up the rage before it’s even a potential problem? Yep. Keeping the populace enraged on issues they CAN solve at the last minute [I agree with James Mitchner]…..can keep everyone from watching what the OTHER HAND is doing.
OldMtWoman …not gettin’ my knickers in a knot over this one….
