    US Federal Government Shutdown Thread

    The top two headlines on CNBC right now. If that's not a snapshot of what Donald Trump's America has become, I don't know what is.

    All good. See this is how discourse should be handled on the board.

    Not necessarily. Look, we're on the same page here, the flight cancellations were ordered by Trump as a means to inflict pain on Americans. Not as a response to ATC shortages. We've had ATC shortages all year and they've done nothing, and they have been working without pay for months now. But ATCs have been calling out more than normal and there is not indication that they are told to stay home due to these cuts. Semantics I guess. According to the FAA’s order, the flight cuts will increase to 10% over the next week, beginning with 4% on Friday, 6% by Tuesday, 8% by Thursday and finally 10% on Nov. 14. Again, the flight cancellations were ordered by Trump as a means to inflict pain on Americans as shown by this tightening. It's not a response to ATC shortages who are not predicted to increase at these same intervals.

    That doesn't mean that they told ATC to stay home does it? My understanding is that they just cut the flights but it's independent of ATC schedules. They still want the ATCs to show up whenever they can, but some aren't.

    Who ordered them not to work?

    Yes, and we've seen flight delays and cancellations already. What was significant about announcing a 10% cut today? Did a bunch of ATC announce they will be out today going forward? No.

    It was amazing how quickly Biden declined. Trump will be a vegetable by the midterms.

    Everything got worse due to Trump policies after he said he would fix everything on day 1. It's been almost a year now. How much longer should we wait?

    oh shut up. Nobody wants planes to crash, stop it. I'm all for safety but I don't believe this is being done for safety. I believe it's just another punishment by the president so he can blame democrats. Same with choosing to end SNAP. The president can end this shutdown today. Get everyone in a room, work out a deal. It's what strong leaders do. He refuses. Also you're wrong on the filibuster, a simple majority ends the filibuster. They just refuse to listen to Trump and do it.

    Transportation secretary Sean Duffy, famous from MTV road rules and married to Fox News host, cancels flights for Americans today but is also flying to Wisconsin to raise money for his son in law's congressional campaign. Rules for thee not for me.

    Trump: I'm cancelling your flight until you give in and give up your healthcare. Great message to America.

    Hear that America? The billionaire president who has made $3B this year from corruption doesn't want to hear you cry about how expensive everything is anymore. Now back to the new ballroom...
