Government Shuts Down as Bill to Extend Funding Is Blocked; Senators Continue to Seek Deal

UPDATED 12:04 AM

At least there’s a term for this shutdown, the “Schumer Shutdown”. It just rolls right off the tongue. The last one didn’t have a good name to it.

I notice the media is hyping the dire consequences of the Schumer Shutdown, but I don’t see that gaining traction as everyone still remembers the big nothingburger that was the 2013 shutdown.

Toys R Us Could Close U.S. Stores As Soon As Next Week

March 10, 2018

It’s kind of sad, as I remember spending a fair chunk of time in my local Toys R Us back in the day.

Amazingly, for now, my local TRU is still open, even though it’s on the backside of what is basically a dead mall.

Maybe the quality of toys went down over time, maybe online shopping played a part…or maybe, it’s another Russian Conspiracy: just look at that backwards “R” in their name, could it be more obvious? :smile:

This has upset me more than I understand. Probably because of how helpless it was.

United flight attendant made a woman put her puppy in an overhead bin. He died.

Unless they have a near monopoly of flights, that’s too damn high of a percentage of deaths. Would not surprise me if they end up losing a huge chunk of business from this.
