    Today I had to apply for unemployment. This is a ridiculous shutdown unnecessarily affecting thousands of federal employees and families. Wishing all of them, and this country, better days ahead.

        Most of y'all voted for him now embrace his tactics. Oh it's personal now though so this is different.

        Oh hi, want to come work part time at a bike shop in Colorado and help us get more people on bikes?! In all seriousness, our hearts are with all the families impacted by this shut down. ♥️

        Agreed this is awful/absurd/unnecessary. I hope people with power to do so get their shit together ASAP. This is a totally unfair to people who, like you, just want continue to work in service of the country’s best interests. Unhappy growl.

        My wife and I will be filing next Monday. Was trying to hold out and hoped that we would be back to work. Unfortunately, looks like our jobs are being held hostage.

        I applied for a personal loan :( (trying to avoid the unemployment route). So sorry you’re being affected as well. Hopefully we get to go back to work again soon!

        Why not just take a 0% Credit Union Loan? You’ll need to payback that unemployment when you get paid, you know that right?

        fun fact, "better days" is basically the slogan for the BJP party in India. I'll let you google them.

        So sorry to hear this. Good science has never been more essential and yet - like factual truth, I suppose - suddenly finds itself curiously sidelined, chiefly by those who interests align neither with science nor truth.
