To memorialize for later use against the GOP, a couple points made on recent posts to this thread.

(1) The dingbat, MTG Congresswoman form Georgia, actually stated that Health Insurance and all insurance was a scam.

(2) The Speaker would bring up (in any context) the possibility of not paying back pay.

Next week, one side or the other will fold. Can't say I'd be disappointed if its the Dems. This has all the feel of going thru the motions and showing some fight for the Base. And if the Dems win on healthcare, its actually a win for the PUBS. It just saves them the trouble of fixing it before the end of the year which they know they have to do to save their own skin. Saving Republican skin is not high on my bucket list.

The em-dash and ellipsis are the hall marks of AI slop. I'm sure it will be corrected one of these days, but for the moment It's amusing the see prompts begging the AI to not use em dashes and the response comes out like "You're right — I did use an em-dash is my last response... I promise I will stop using them"
 

Of all the replies a pilot doesn't want to hear when they radio air traffic control, "the tower is closed due to staffing" is probably pretty high on the list.

But that's apparently what happened Monday at Hollywood Burbank Airport in Southern California as a pilot was preparing for takeoff and looking to co-ordinate his departure, according to audio recorded by LiveATC.net and reported on by CNN.

Burbank's air traffic control tower was temporarily unstaffed Monday, one of many incidents in U.S. airports caused by staffing shortages during the government's shutdown. In an advisory, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said flights at the Burbank airport were delayed by about two hours because of "staffing," noting that its tower had "zero" air traffic controllers.

An FAA spokesperson told the L.A. Times the tower was without staff from about 4:15 p.m. to 10 p.m. local time, and during that period, a San-Diego based air traffic control facility was controlling air traffic.
