Joel Bowman with today’s Note From the End of the World: Buenos Aires, Argentina…
It’s that time of the season, dear reader… when the government teases us with the only threat we wish it would actually carry out: shutting itself down.
Apparently, Congress was “scrambling” on Friday, writhing in desperation to avoid the unthinkable. From USA Today:
A government shutdown, which would leave thousands of federal employees furloughed with just days until Christmas and Hanukkah, will set in at midnight on Friday if Congress doesn’t act.
The House on Thursday rejected a deal backed by President-elect Donald Trump that would have kept the government’s doors open, with dozens of Republicans joining with Democrats and voting against the proposal.
That bill was a slimmed-down version of a bipartisan plan to temporarily dodge a government shutdown, known as continuing resolution, that Trump and his allies torpedoed earlier in the week.
Forever with the eleventh-hour antics, the State is like a psychotic ex that promises to stop stalking its former lover…only to show up at the ex’s wedding, drunk and flirting with the busboy, to spoil the whole celebration.
Free advice to American voters: get a restraining order… and a chainsaw!
