Strike

I have. it's definitely affecting ATC and there is reduced staffing and a moral problem with those who ARE working but not getting paid. The impact is minimal in general and these things do highlight how bloated and unnecessary much of our government is though.

*BUMP* Libs here continue to look stupid, defending illegals over their own country.

"The Donald Dome" has a nice ring to it.

To clarify, I'm a (student) pilot and am flying out of a GA airport, albeit one of the busiest GA airports in the country. But not a commercial airport. Still towered and tangentially affected by the ATC shortage but thus far I haven't had any ATC related delays in my flights. So not really the same circumstances you're dealing with. I was just busting balls a little bit. Good luck on your flight.

I'm flying today too. No delays anticipated.

One I found interesting was an actress from the Sopranos named Drea De Mateo joined onlyfans because otherwise she would have lost her house: https://deadline.com/2023/09/drea-de-matteo-onlyfans-savage-1235547457/ I read other articles about this when it first became public and, IIRC, she also needed money to care for her mother or something. I don't really buy that she was never paid much for her acting. Maybe on the Sopranos but she was the star of a Friends spinoff with Matt Leblanc (Joey). Granted, it only last a couple of years IIRC but as the star of a sitcom based on one of the biggest sitcoms ever I have to believe she made decent money for those couple of years. She also had an ongoing role in Sons of Anarchy which, while not a starring role, had to pay decent when she was in an episode. Regardless, she clearly needed the money and onlyfans basically saved her. I don't think she does full on porn. I've never visited her page. But whatever she does on it seems to be working for her.

Uh, the thread title is about pulling the sheets off of us. That sounds racist to me.

James Carville wants to run a pedo against a Republican. What is wrong with you Dems? I know @The Real timschochet will support this but what about you other LIbs?

Whatever Tim. Health insurance wouldn't be so expensive if the ACA had actually addressed costs. But it didn't. Health insurance wouldn't be so expensive if we didn't have to pay for health care for illegals. But because of people like you, we do. The list goes on and on. It's not the government's job to pay for people's health insurance. I'm sorry if some people struggle to afford it but that's on them, not me or the government. We're like 30+ trillion in DEBT. That should be our focus.

Why do you assume it's only men going there to see women? Sexist pig!!!!

We shouldn't be giving 40 billion to Argentina. We should give them 100 billion!!!!!

Because even with any savings DOGE made, we're still in a huge hole. The purpose of DOGE wasn't to find money to give to subsidies that were passed as a TEMPORARY measure during COVID. Covid is over.

No we're not. No one has removed the ACA subsidies. Those were codified in to the ACA way back when. We're talking about ADDITIONAL subsidies that were passed TEMPORARILY due to COVID. COVID is over.

No. I'm suggesting getting rid of the ACA. Are you suggesting no one had health insurance before Obama let the health care industry write the Obamacare bill?

Right. You made it up.
