Morning All, I am coming through 5 days of straight 12 hour days at work which ruined my weekend and was looking for some relief for a few minutes and read with you guys. I wanted to say I HATE just about everything Trump does but I am glad he is taking a stand against Turkey about the Kurds. They have bleed, fought, died, and worked hard to save people of other faiths and beliefs in an area of the world that finds that stance to be Taboo. He said that if Turkey attacks the Kurds then the US will ruin Turkey economically. Turkey has the 2nd biggest army next too the US in NATO and I don't think military action is the way to go. Again I HATE Trump with every fiber but this one thing he is ABSOLUTELY taking the right stance. When you abandon an ally like the Kurds to watch them be killed by Turkey simply because the Kurds want freedom and to be recognized makes their subsiquent massacre on the US's hands. To note: Turkey calls the Kurds supporters of a "Terrorist Group". In reality they are angry with the Kurds because of the PKK and the YKG. These are the militant branches of the Kurds who believe the Kurds should have a free state and also the Kurds believe in a more inclusive and accepting government and society. In my view they are a bright ray of light in the Middle East. Anyway I am getting back to work. I have 4 more 12 hour days ahead of me before I am noping out. Will check back in, in a while Miss you all dc2london @heartbot jkjacq any everyone else I can't remember off the top of my head (Sorry am tired).

My father works for the executive branch and they are not aware of this either? Our premiums will be covered and taken out when we get retro-pay.
ETA: I see it is from the article above. I am still not sure on that as it isn't the guidance we were given.

There are even any conversations happening to reopen the government? This is so ridiculous. If there are, I just haven’t seen any reported.

Jonathan Chait is out here with ultra hot takes on why charter proponents are not evil big interests like public school teachers, without mentioning that his wife's entire job is expanding the reach of charter schools. It is...something. I did not realize that I, a public school teacher, had evil big interests. Thanks for the heads up.
