Funny that. I too live on a coast, and I too lean leftest on stuff. How funny. I don't hate Trump, I disagree with almost all his policies, but I don't hate him. Although I do have a very negative opinion of Democrats, humph, go figure.
I always thought comparing scares was a MAN thing to do, obviously I was wrong about that.
Wallow in the self pity of these government employees who, if your claim is on point that they have no option but to die from not getting a paycheck for a month if you like. That sort of behavior is not for me.
I kinda liked it when you called me "elitist".
If my mother was still alive I'd show it to her, I think she would smile over it.

Wow! Elitist much Cassandra? I gave you an example of how some of my family members do things, and you come back with Fuck you! And my whole point is that to spend less than you bring in, not go look for more money to spend. Although, both sides of the coin work, I was addressing only one side. Fuck you right back with bells on. For the record, I think it's you being judgmental, and yes, elitist, about other people's circumstances. YOU are the one saying anyone who isn't saving is either choosing to do so or "just doesn't know how" to save. YOU are the one making negative assumptions about them, their characters, their habits, etc. I am the one noting that poverty and living paycheck-to-paycheck is not always -- or even usually -- a choice, and noting that I know this from first-hand and second-hand experience. IF a person is bringing in MONEY, I am saying IF they WON'T save ANY of it, they are IDIOTS. The concept is SIMPLE, but maybe not easy.
I think you are not telling the TRUTH. You elitist, have never been poor in your life. Real poor people have found ways to overcome and even thrive. YOU have no IDEA.

Sigh))People choose to live pay check to pay check. Maybe have a good hard look at how both illegal and legal immigrants live for their first few years in merica. These people tend to, like rural folks, pool their resources together, so each of them can prosper. I have immigrant family members who live in two bedroom apts at a rate of 8 and 10 ( 4 adults) people to the apt. each sharing in the cost for housing and food. Point is, folks don't "have to" live pay check to pay check. I think they do it because they don't know any other way. As for me, yes, I'd still like to be able to afford a hooker now and then, along with my 12 pack of beer, but I choose to squirrel away that money for a rainy day instead, which I know will come.
Edit to add; As for Robs original point, I don't have any kind of problem with professional pan handling. Corporations have been doing it for years so why not individuals?

I find it disturbing that claiming to live pay check to pay check is a badge of honer. Whatever happened to living below you means, in order to prepare for a "rainy day"?

The way I understand the situation is that all the government employees will still get paid, it's just a matter of when that pay comes in. If that is in fact the case, a few short term no interest loans ought to fix it up okay. Kinda like normal people do in temporary short-fall situations.

Like Saddam Hussein, like Bashar Assad, being "bad" people seem to be all we need to justify fucking up a country. Same USA, different president.

Well, one thing for sure, the southern border is a whole lot closer to us than Syria is.

Really, it ought not to be that difficult to pull 2000 military personal out of Syria. One wonders if Trump is actually the one who is running the country as often as it is that he gets his mind changed.

How long do you have to give it before you call seizure? The label says 4 hours

I think it's just as likely that the market is reacting to the mid-term elections. Hopefully the new congress won't wreck too much havoc in the next two years.
