I'm trying to be positive today, but --- if there is no progress in the next 6 hours or so, Theseus' paychecks will stop. Actually, they have already been preemptively halted, which is a real great sign, right? We'll be ok for a little while, with the money we have in savings, but this is just ridiculous. "Freedom isn't free," except when there's no budget and servicemembers are in Iraq and Afghanistan with no paychecks. We're sent around the world to advance the country's interests - whatever those may be - and then we're left hanging out to dry because our leaders can't agree on anything. Thanks a lot, dickheads.
