Everything that's wrong with America in one sentence
Guess who's exempt from a potential government shutdown?
I saw this today at CNN.
The Pentagon has also determined that the training and support of Ukrainian forces is exempt from a potential government shutdown, and will continue even in the increasingly likely event that Congress fails to pass a spending bill in the coming days.
Isn’t it nice to know that even if the U.S. federal government shuts down, Ukraine will still get all the weapons and related military aid they need to continue to fight and kill Russians? Americans may be furloughed from their jobs or have to work for no pay, but Ukraine will get paid.
That one sentence shows you the priorities for “your” government. Guess what? You’re not a priority, but war overseas is. You’re not exempt from a government shutdown, but Ukrainian military forces are.
So, if you want to get paid, America, or enter a federal facility that may be closed due to a shutdown, just wave a blue-and-yellow flag and tell the government it’s all for the war effort in Ukraine.
It is extremely disturbing that the American public does not complain about their government's corrupt policies. The level of pushback from the public is literally near zero. I suppose that it is going to take some really hard times to get people to respond to the corruption and criminality. Case in point, Senator Mendez gets caught with trunkloads of cash and gold stashed in his house, but the Blue Team voters will not be shocked that there might be gambling going on in this casino. And of course they won't be worried that the Biden crime family is also on the take. I am wondering what it will take to get the public to start complaining, but I have a feeling that it won't happen until some real disasters cause a lot of pain here in the US.
Lockheed will continue to be paid for support jobs on F-35, F-16 and F-22 largely caused by their design and production failures: cost plus good margin!
