Until fairly recently, we didn't consider it a huge accomplishment to keep the government funded for another year. That was the bare minimum Congress should be doing.
Then Republicans decided to use brinksmanship for everything, every year, no matter the circumstances.

So... me. Work in aerospace, more space, not as much aero. Can fix my own car, choose not to. Can fix the random appliance of your choice. Hardcore introvert in person, which is why I love online. Lifelong science fiction fan. Read constantly. Scalzi is my favorite author, because he mixes exactly the right amount of snark into his writing. Together with a guy 30+ years, married since it was legal. Own a home in CA and don't plan to leave unless I immigrate to another country.
