Monk1:
Hey, how tall are humans? Like in Centimeters? Monk2:
Hmmm, about 10 or 20. Depends on if they’re adult or human though. Monk1:
So if I build a fence that’s 30 cm high, that should keep them all penned in, right? Monk2:
Oh absolutely. They can’t jump. Monk1:
I didn’t know that! Monk2:
Oh yeah, that’s what they say about humans. Can’t jump. Can’t climb trees either, so don’t worry about planting some real close. Monk1:
And I should make the bars close together so they can’t slip through, right? Monk2:
Naw, man. Humans are real wide. Haven’t you seen them in a vat? Tip to tail at least 150 cm, crabwalking everywhere. Just make the bars another 30 cm apart and they won’t be able to fit their huge, gigantic heads through. You can totally save on materials. Monk1: Oh, thanks! My manager was going to get on my butt about that if we went over budget! So how does this look, for keeping a bunch of 6 year olds in?
Most companies are probably going to continue their regular food safety procedures, but a few things you can do to reduce some personal risk:
Buy hard, solid veggies and fruits (apples, melons) or ones with rinds (bananas are probably fine). Scrub the peel/rind thoroughly with soap and water before consumption.
The more solid and dense the meat, the less likely it is for contamination to spread very far. Buy your meat in solid cuts, NOT GROUND. Especially not ground chicken rn, salmonella bad.
Cook things thoroughly. Follow guidelines for the internal temperatures meat is supposed to reach and stick to those guidelines. Use a meat thermometer. Make your steaks well done for a while.
I’d stay away from shellfish as a whole if I were you. The diseases you can get from it are some of the nastier ones. No sushi for a while, too. If you have fish, make sure it was frozen following anti-parasitic guidelines and cook thoroughly.
AVOID LEAFY GREENS. This is where we’ve been seeing the most outbreaks lately, so be very careful.
The pregnant, elderly, immunocompromised, and the very young are the ones most at risk in an outbreak. If you are in one of these groups, be extremely cautious and avoid soft cheeses and prepackaged deli meats. Check on friends and family in these groups. Report symptoms of foodborne illness to a doctor so they can report to the state health depts that are still running.
Even with these in mind, remember that most outbreaks of foodborne illness are due to things like improper cooking and storage. Stay safe out there, folks 💙
trump is threatening to make the shutdown year-long if he doesn't get the funding for the wall. and most people (and families) simply don't have the savings to last as long as the shutdown may last - because the bills aren't stopping, just the income. people and families can't just go hungry. it's comparable to being laid off, except you don't even have the option of unemployment. so, no, your post isn't what the shutdown is like.
I personally think you should be fired. If you are a non essential gov’t employee then you are a non essential use of taxes. Fire them all, lower my taxes.
^^^^ plus it’s not “Trumps” shutdown. Give us the ducking funding or starve I don’t give the slightest shit. Trump isn’t the reason for the shutdown dumbass, it’s your democrats.
“It was reportedly the longest floor vote in modern Senate history.”
Yeah your democrats can suck a big fucking cock.
Trump didn’t shutdown your government.
Kinda seems like Trump shut down the government, just like he said he would.
“Let us do something indisputably pure fucking evil or we’ll hurt you, and its your fault”
“If you don’t completely wreck the budget to pay for an expensive and ineffective wall so the media will stop reminding everyone that I said I would do this thing that absolutely made no sense in the first place, I will withhold EVERYONES IRS checks, starve people, lay people off, and generally just screw over the government for WEEKS while toying with the idea of using a state of emergency to power grab using this as an excuse AND the people who support me will BLAME YOU ANYWAY! HA!”
As for the Democrats being the ones that shut down the US Government, they didn’t have the votes to do it at the time. They were the minority party in all the houses during the vote.
You’re also forgetting that the budget was passed by both the House and Senate, but Trump didn’t get the budget he wanted for the wall and spiked the thing.
So yeah, it is Republican President Donald Trump’s fault the US Government is partially shut down.
