My daughter and her friend are affected by these cuts.
My daughter had a stop-work on a research paper she was working on. Her friend was laid off from a state agency because of the cuts.
I told her that private-sector employees have had to contend with these things for hundreds of years. Deal with it.
I was on a flight to Beijing about ten years ago. Over Siberia, about 3 hours from Beijing (on a 13 hour flight), we had to turn around because a Chinese lady tried to kill herself in the bathroom. The tried to cut herself and then tried to hang herself. Blood all over. She really, REALLY didn’t want to go home.
We landed in Alaska and I’d had enough. I took the next flight home instead of waiting another day to continue.
There’s a show on TV where they interview ATF and FBI agents about events like these.
They guys that were at Ruby Ridge were outright lying, claiming that the killing of Vicky Weaver was a missed shot intended for either Raney Weaver or Kevin Harris. The interviewer wasn’t even trying to be credible.
