The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

So maybe offering a buyout to every civilian federal employee might not be the best thing for air traffic safety, given that we're already short of controllers in the first place.

I’m guessing that air traffic controllers, as well as most other federal employees, have figured out that the buyout offer is basically bullshit, because there’s no money in the budget to fund it.

Not to mention that the offer came in a stupid email asking them to hit “return” and check “yes” if they accepted the offer.

This administration is good at banging drums and expelling vast quantities of hot air with nothins substantial backing it up.

It’s like they’re building a Hollywood set- all facade, with only an empty field to greet you when you walk “inside”.

“Mother Fletcher’s Whore House” flashing in neon lighrs over the entrance.

You walk in…. And find yourself standing on a dirt road with tumbleweed blowing…..

You turn around and read the hand painted sign hanging on the door….
“You’ve Just Been Screwed by Mother Fletcher”

Buy into it, andyou too can become members of the greatest felloship in the world. In fact, nothing like it has ever been seen before!!!

The felloship of those who have been screwed by Mother Trump.
