Government Shutdown

I know of a Pharm Rep from McPherson who had $70k worth of champagne at his retirement party in Seattle.

Hey guys I think Shellshock is on to something here.  If you can't pay for defense we should allow Russian communists to come here and rape your family.  I mean pull up your boot straps and pay for soldiers like a real man, amIrite!

Also as long as we're on this....maybe we can charge people for exercising certain other rights.  Maybe, like a tax, on voting, at the polls.  Yeah, that could really generate some revenue. 

This is what obamacare does. You have the right not to buy health insurance for yourself, but you're going to have to pay the government for that right.

I'm not sure what you are talking about here, and I don't think you are, either.

The only hole in this is that still if you get sick(really sick) you can go to the hospital and they will still provide care.

Who pays for that care?

Should hospitals just turn people away that can't pay?

It's either that, or debtor's jail.

I feel like barter is being underrepresented here.

Boohoo, I don't get paid for two weeks out of my 30 year meaningless career that affords me above average salary, exceptional benefits and a fixed 830 to 5 job with 10 paid holidays.  Oh yeah, I can't get fired absent some atrocious behavior after my one year probationary period.  But feel sorry for me, pleeeeeaaase!

This is a bit dickish but every person in this country runs the risk of losing their job if their employer runs out of money.  I would feel sorry for all of them equally, but its life and if you didn't like it you should find a way to be immune (be your own boss).

it's not dickish at all and i 100% completely agree. nobody really cares about anything unless it directly affects them or maybe (maybe) someone they really care about. you think FR is going to say a prayer if some downtown kc law office folds? heck no he isn't. he's going wake up, take a shower, hop in his car and head to kafe leopold for late brunch and some mimosas. that's just life. and no, no move. the house across from me is just bigger and nicer than mine.

FTR, I'm not really complaining. The timing sucks for us a little, but our situation is pretty different than the typical 40-50k guy who is gonna feel some strain if he goes two weeks without a check. I'm really more in the detached camp. Plus, I can still work remotely and suck up some extra tax teet dollars.

Also FTR, I've fired three employees in the last 3 years or so. So you're welcome, America.

It is an elite city, so I have no doubt.

Ha. Really meant that more as our two incomes w/ no kids versus people in our same office with 3 kids and a stay at home wife.

This is going to make a pretty slow moving episode.  One of those that saves money by not having a bunch of other non-main characters with lines and stuff.  I mean, we'll watch it because it's on and otherwise wouldn't get our fix for the week, but it won't be entertaining. 

[john "teach me how to" dougie]

More guards to keep people out than it would take personnel to keep it open. Also, closing parks on government land not operated by the federal government. It's now obvious obama is trying to make this as painful as possible. What a drama queen.

Yes. Just like McDonalds turns me away from a cheeseburger when I forget my wallet.

...to expand: There's no reason why we should treat health insurance any different than other goods/services. If you can't pay, you don't get it. It's really not that hard folks.

Should the police help you if you are being beaten in Los Angeles?  Keep in mind, you didn't pay crap in taxes in Los Angeles.

[CNS]

The point is that he wants free McDonalds if others are getting free health care.
