Notes On The Shutdown

JD Vance, Sean Duffy, and other officials gave a press conference on the disgraceful Schumer Shutdown, and Vance, who's an excellent speaker and has been speaking without notes, said that Democrats should not presume to threaten Republicans with demands about Obamacare or else the government will remain closed. Dems need to be reminded that Obamacare subsidies were only temporary during the start of the COVID pandemic.

The press conference mostly focused on the airline industry and how the air traffic controllers and pilots are dealing with the stress of not being paid. If they end up walking off the job, things will get even worse for them and for our economy as a whole. Sometimes I wonder if the Democrats are deliberately trying to ruin the economy just to make everything harder for Trump.

My own comment is about these TikTokkers who are threatening to steal from stores and from individuals to get food and money because they might have to go without "their" food stamps.  Why does nobody suggest that they get a temp job while the shutdown continues, so they can buy food with their own money? They look like healthy adults from what I've seen.  Get a job, or go to a food bank instead of threatening violence!
