re: #83 Interesting Times

Luckily, my facebook feed is (for the most part) derp-free. In fact, one person on my list probably summed up this whole sorry mess better than anyone else:

One of my College classmates said, “Government shutdown, big yawn. Anyone actually affected by it?”, even though a mutual friend posted he’s been furloughed.

I suggested if he were a veteran needing help, or a working mom with a hungry kid who depends on WIC, he might feel differently.
