The Good: The government shutdown is over (at least for three weeks) and, hopefully, Donny and his minions will get paychecks out to those who have gone with two payless paydays tout suite. When you're forced to work and don't get paid, you're not a volunteer, you're a slave and slavery was outlawed many moons ago in this country.
The Bad: The Davises have suffered another loss of life and it's sad to report. I'm just waiting to find out the funeral arrangements to make yet another sad pilgrimage to Detroit. It seems like I see my extended family only for funerals these days and that's terrible.
Sit Down, Grandpa: When I saw the clip of millionaire Wilbur Ross expressing confusion over why federal workers were going to food banks to feed their families and suggesting that these folks take out loans (so they can go even further in the hole), I just thought, Sit down, Grandpa! You don't know what you're talking about! Seriously, when you hire people for government jobs who don't truly understand how the majority of Americans live, you're asking for trouble. If you've never lived hand to mouth or had to live paycheck to paycheck or work multiple jobs to try and make ends meet, then you don't need to be doling out advice to those who do.
