Shut Down

[hurley842002]

That's funny because I was scheduling a tow yesterday and the driver's GPS wouldn't find the address I gave him. I thought he was on crack but it's YOUR fault. . JK, obviously. But interesting to know why it may not have been working.

Interesting, I was messing with a new mapping app on my phone and it was working fine. I'll have to try it again today.

I agree, but BHO has plenty of incentive to make this as painful as possible.
Federal cops = overtime to make sure no one walks around national parks.
GPS? Not essential.

That's the funniest part of how his administration is approaching the shutdown. They're doing the Clinton approach of making it as painful as possible but again, going ten steps further. I think they may have overreached and shown their idiocy to the point that even the lamestream media has to notice when they spend actual payroll dollars to close down something that not only takes no federal funding to keep open (e.g., open air monuments) but produces federal revenue (e.g., private monuments and museums). It's one thing to say the shutdown means there's no one to process your passport or NFA form or to cut the grass but it's a whole other thing to say they're putting up barrycades and running rangers around to write tickets because people are walking onto an open air monument or National Park land.

My gps has been freaking out all week. Garmin unit.

They just pick and choose random sectors to shut down and furlough. Everyone in those sectors gets pissed each time, then when they see other sectors getting it they get pissed again because they know what it feels like. hit every group and you touch a whole lot of people. One more problem with the government....waaaay too big.

Good! Maybe people can learn to read a map again! Not likely Im sure, but I can hope. I cant beleive how many people know their address (dont know street avenue or drive tho) but do not know how to give directions to get there, or even the name of the nearest cross street.

Well, if anyone is feeling particularly saucy or troll-ish, how about giving "Rent-a-cade" a call to tell them you don't appreciate their role in all this?

I See no point in attacking a company that is renting equipment... it's what they do .. it's their job. at least their employees are getting paid.

What's that Edmund Burke quote about what it takes for evil to triumph? Something about good men to stand by and.....profit?


And believe me, I take the side of business over almost everyone in most circumstances. But this is ridiculous. Ethics and common sense and integrity mean more to me than a few bucks on this one. That's just me, though.

I like compromise. Compromises means that no one gets everything they want. Here is my suggested compromise:

Raise the debt ceiling and permanently defund the ACA.

or

Keep the ACA and no increase in the debt ceiling. The Senate Democrats and the President can figure out how to fund the entire government and the ACA within the current legal federal debt limit.

Either way, this is all still a small issue compared to the pending debt service issue the US will face WHEN interests go up.

Be safe.

Please don't be as short sighted as the politicians. Your GPSs are working with old technology. The new GPSIII constellation is supposed to start lauching in 2015. Let me amend my statement to say we are working to ensure that your GPS is working 10 years from now.
