    Pay attention to whose doing the blasting, then use ignore. If they don't understand the need to vent, they probably aren't worth the time for other matters.

    In a few weeks none of us may be prospering.

    senate / house republicans have gone on vacation directly before a needed vote on the debt ceiling, they want the shutdown to make propaganda about why we cant pay debt and how its not their fault.

    my view is that if republicans dont want to do their job the dems should just write snd pass the bill without quorum and ignore the rules.

    if no Rbis there just dont mske a quorum call.

    As a Canadian, I can't share that gloomy outlook. While the tariffs are causing short-term pain, the long term is looking very bright. So many things are now happening in our favor; we elected a leader with financial expertise, many new trade relationships have developed and many big companies are moving the bulk of their operations to Canada. I can't help but feel very positive about the future.

    A government shutdown will remove the government’s remaining desire to pay entitlements legal or not and drive further shenanigans to finish gutting agencies.

    the pres desperately wants a shutdown to provide distraction so he can clear remaining legal issues.

    I don’t have any free capital to buy stock. However, you convinced me it won’t be Hyundai anytime soon. Don’t let me stop you from buying Hyundai stock. I recommend Hyundai stock for all MAGAots.

    South Korea trying to bribe the sociopath in Chief with Hyundai business ‘plan’ hasn’t worked with Ukraine either.

    To what "entitlements" are you referring? All of them are paid for from hard work.
    I receive a pension, which is a small fraction of all the millions I paid into it over the years.
