Another Government Shutdown For No Reason Whatsoever

Keith’s 29 Sep note: OK Team NASA – if you are a civil servant then the OPM Guidance for Shutdown Furloughs is a must-read If you are a contractor or grantee check with your local HR office. Regardless, everyone is going to get royally screwed over due to a dysfunctional clown train also known as the U.S. Congress. Update: Administrator Nelson statement: “If House Republicans force a shutdown, it will have devastating consequences for NASA, families across the country, and America’s global competitiveness. “We are deciding what actions are needed in the event of a congressional Republican-led government shutdown. NASA will maintain the people to protect life and property – operational missions, such as satellites, landers, and rovers, as well as the International Space Station and its crew.” 30 Sep Update: The clowns on the Hill played musical chairs and punted the shutdown for 45 days. So … it looks like everyone’s Thanksgiving may be miserable.
