    Less, about 30 billion. Instead of giving money to Argentina, we could give people a year of health insurance and still have 10B leftover.

    It's not idiotic. It's a year so that people who sign up for the ACA know what their payments will be for one year. I'm sure that if by miracle a budget was passed, which hasn't happened since 1997, that the budget would override anything in the cr. In fact as a matter of negotiation if reps wanted to to do that, ok fine. But they don't want to negotiate. That's why we're shutdown.

    We're talking about ACA subsidies, dumb ass. When the govt opens people will get snap regardless. They're supposed to get it now but your boy is blocking it.

    Democrats really extend the Olive Branch One-year extension at a cost of 30 million. That's less money than we just gave to Argentina. Republicans would rather shut the government down than give healthcare to people for one year. Your moved Donald

    Yeah I've been more disappointed than pleased with the most recent cod releases. Was thinking of going back to battlefield

    I went Xbox because friends had Xbox and we would play cod together, this was obviously before the cross platform play. My son took my Xbox to school. I thought about buying a new one but haven't had the itch yet. I was still playing MW3 up until the summer.

    I was cheering on the crash? How does someone even do that? Go crash? Burn more?

    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?
  23. Ron_Artest

    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.
