To answer the CR question: if the government shuts down, they will receive their back pay, just as they have every time it has ever happened. Would I do it? Only if I was planning on quitting in September anyway. It just means less work during that time period, nothing more.Copy and I’ve seen that. There are some nuances in the DoD, however. The gaining non-federal organizations have to agree, as well. Huge conflict of interest when there are possibilities that the Fed agency still has the purview to “task the employee”. And it’s up to the agency. Also, the agency has to approve the scenario (including the JAG). So while this is a cool feature for someone let’s say in the IRS, a cleared DoD employee more than likely won’t get to enjoy the double dip (unless the go work for Wal-mart).
There’s also the legal implications of the budgets and policies.
VISP hurdle - max allocations are currently set to $40K for DoD and $25K for everyone else. Agencies typically on the hook for that cost and it must be offered by agency (not OPM). Anticipate lawsuits.
CR hurdle - how are they funding this until Sept when the 2025 CR hasn’t been approved? Missing fine print on what happens if budget doesn’t come through?
Lots of risks IMHO for people thinking this is legit. I’m tuned in tho.
The HuffPost is a head scratcher…
Short term this year yes (but how much work are they actually doing? I bet you'll see negligible difference in govt prodtion) but after 8 months you'll see great savingsAppears to be a great deal for federal employees. The taxpayers will get the shaft. But, what is new about that?
#metoo ol boy. Keep the faith. TRUMP isn't going to shit on the people who do things the right way like all of us. He is making the big breaks more palatable by introducing the smaller stuff to help the Olds and poors out 1st. We will get relief too. He knows we can hold on better than the others for now.I don't get tips, no OT, and am not retired. O for 3 for me. Patiently waiting on my tax relief as property taxes and cost of living are still sky high. Skol!
Sounds like bullshit.Plausible that during the fueling some jet fuel was spilled on the tarmac. The jet fuel fumes got into the cabin of the plane when the passenger doors were open while it was being refueled. You have all smelled the strong odor of the fuel when you have been on a plane during boarding.
When the patient was boarded onto the plane, and if they required oxygen, the oxygen mask would removed before the boarding steps. The patient would be loaded and the supplies including bags and oxygen tank/tanks. Maybe the oxygen was not turned off during during the boarding process and oxygen was released in the small cabin before the mask was placed on the patient.
After take off, any small spark would become a an explosion in a sealed environment containing jet fuel fumes and oxygen. Maybe a faulty speaker wire sparked when the pilot triggered the in flight initial announcement. Possible static electricity spark.
The concussive force of this explosion would concuss all humans in the sealed environment. No place for the pressure to release. Such a force would break every eardrum and render everyone unconscious. If happening in the main cabin the force would also push toward the cockpit and knock the pilots forward and unconscious. They would push the flight yoke forward creating a dive from the pre-dive explosion.
Do you have a Payne theory?Sounds like bullshit.
Just like Payne Stewart story.
I understand the slow coordinated withdrawal. As I said, patiently waiting. But hurry the fuck up! Haha Skol brother!#metoo ol boy. Keep the faith. TRUMP isn't going to shit on the people who do things the right way like all of us. He is making the big breaks more palatable by introducing the smaller stuff to help the Olds and poors out 1st.

Copy that. I’m thinking even more long game tho. There is no fine print on this deal - just some FAQs from OPM. I can see them totally back tracking the whole deal based on the next budget. Nothing is in writing.To answer the CR question: if the government shuts down, they will receive their back pay, just as they have every time it has ever happened. Would I do it?

I believe Payne, a devout Christian, was going to blow the roof on the “Golf Rumors” conspiracy.Do you have a Payne theory?
Go on...I believe Payne, a devout Christian, was going to blow the roof on the “Golf Rumors” conspiracy.
So somebody sabotaged his Lear jet? And do tell about the golf rumors conspiracy.I believe Payne, a devout Christian, was going to blow the roof on the “Golf Rumors” conspiracy.
