De ware betekenis van Kerstmis

Bah. Humbug.

De ware betekenis van Kerstmis is niet dat kindje Jezus geboren werd, niet dat Sint Nicolaas zijn verjaardag een paar weken naar achteren naar voren naar achteren opschoof, niet dat je weer Zalig Kerstfeest mag zeggen van Trump, maar, gewoon, dat met Kerst die hele tent gewoon sluit zodat we in alle soberheid samen kunnen zijn en tot bezinning kunnen komen.

Wat betekent een 'government shutdown' voor die arme sukkelaars die het slachtoffer dreigen te worden in oorlog (open in incognito) voor tegen om Kerst?

"When the government shuts down, that doesn’t mean that all federal operations cease — just the ones deemed nonessential. Nonessential federal workers are furloughed, which means they are sent home and docked pay. (They can later be paid retroactively for this time off.) These jobs can include such things as working at national parks or monuments, processing passport and visa applications and maintaining government websites. During the last shutdown, 850,000 executive-branch employees were furloughed."

"But many of the government’s primary duties will continue to be performed, although the workers may not be paid for it. Trump, for example, tweeted that a shutdown will be “devastating to our military,” but that’s not true. The military is considered essential so it would largely continue to function, though Congress would have to reapprove a bill from 2013 to have members of the military continue to receive paychecks during the shutdown."

"“The military will still go to work; they will not get paid,” Director of the Office of Management and Budget Mick Mulvaney told reporters Friday morning. “The border will still be patrolled; they will not get paid. Folks will still be fighting the fires out West; they will not get paid.”"

"Government offices related to national security law enforcement, air traffic control, U.S. mail and others all remain open. “All of these people will be working for nothing,” Mulvaney said. “Which is simply not fair.”"

Mensen voor je laten werken zonder ervoor te hoeven betalen: is dat niet koren op de molen van die Sinaasappel in Chief?

Chinese hoaks

Het is een Chinese hoax dat de Marshall Islands leeglopen omdat ze onderlopen door klimaatverandering.

Al eenderde van de bevolking van de Marshall-eilanden is naar de VS gehoaxt wegens te natte voeten.
