Out of curiosity, what does this do to the USD? I know it is a “small” amount relative to our country, but if they are swapping $40b in U.S. Dollars for a currency of high volatility, isnt it a guaranteed loss of believed stability in those USD up to that amount?
It’s been true since the budget reconciliation act of 1974 was put into place: https://www.congress.gov/crs-product/R40480
The year started October 1st. 20 hours later they could have passed it through the senate.
Government “shutdowns” didn’t exist before then as they do now.
Where they did it for the Big Stupid Bill: https://www.naco.org/news/us-congress-passes-reconciliation-bill-what-it-means-counties
Edit: also if you read the article you posted, it states they could use reconciliation to get around the 60 vote necessity.
The could also reconcile the budget, break it into parts and they could have had the government portions that are shut down back up by October 2nd. Only 4 budgets have passed without reconciliation since 1974. They just reconciled the “big beautiful bill” on July 1st (passed 51-50) so they know the process . They need 0 votes from Democrats to pass the bill
The number of people I know of that are wondering why their e-filing for taxes with the IRS haven’t gone through yet (deadline was the October 15th) is pretty high. “They normally go through in a couple hours”
There have been massive cuts to the federal government, and something like half the IRS is furloughed apparently at the moment. I have no evidence that’s why something that normally runs fairly smooth is delayed… But it sure as hell would make sense.
We found the rolls of tape used in their office with the words ANTIFA and their name written neatly on them.
I’m just now hearing about it, then again I didn’t know there was a tron 2 or 3. I just knew the first one came out
The illusion of the U.S. being a free country will hold for a while, to those who wish it is true. That’s the problem
Sorry to hear it stranger. If you ever need to rant or something feel free to dm me
While I understand they are all elliptical, isn’t that the reason they moved Pluto to a dwarf planet, because it’s orbit was “to elliptical” and crossing Neptune’s orbital path?
Yarp, about a decade ago after a break up I went on a 2 month bender, nothing but alcohol and fast food. Drink maybe 10-12 hours a day on average. So more than 2000 calories a day in drinks for sure, and idk what in fast food. But I walked everywhere to not get myself into DUI situations. I lost 20 pounds in 2 months.
Edit: Throw in the couple packs of cigarettes and you could call it super healthy
I love the ever permanent comet in that image. I like to think it somehow has a tail, yet sits in orbit
25-50 is a wide span, maybe they are hoping we get our prison system better and focus on rehabilitation in the next 15-20 years
Doesnt that mean they can arrest everyone at the beach for nothing other than them not having their paperwork in the water with them. Throw them in the back of a truck and then if they so happened to be a green card fine them.
The whole thing seems sketchy.
“Why are you arresting/ticketing me?”
“Because there is no way you have papers in that Speedo”
Why would a country like China want war with the U.S. They are on the up and up, taking over large swaths of the future markets in vehicle production, energy storage/accumulation, and have a large workforce. The U.S. has AI as it’s one edge at the moment, which everyone is wondering how much it will collapse down to like 3 companies and profitability be low for many companies.
It isn’t in China’s best interest.
Not to mention the soft power vacuums the U.S. has opened around the world that China can start picking up if they find it in their interests
Sit in Senate hearings, study/learn break ties. Honestly not a bad job when you don’t have a crazy administration. But it hasn’t been smooth sailing for a VP in about 51 years now
Maybe they thought you meant 2025 AD as in after Donald. 2025 Before Collapse there was a guy we used to know as Jesus. lol
Please exp,clearly I don’t make this post, and no one should have any idea what you are talking about… so let’s have your false narrative conspiracy theory posted here
Did you miss when they reduced the investigations from 80k or so to 0? Every package has to be investigated now. It’s lock down. Only a believer in extreme government overwatch would believe in that. You know… Like MAGA
Sticker says made in Nepal, came from Nepal… how many investigations are we going to perform on a $15 t shirt because he took the exclusions out for cheaper product.
If you filed an extension in April, it extends your due date to Oct. 15th. Sorry for the worry, lol
