“Kristi Noem hands $10k checks to TSA Workers who did NOT call out sick during furlough – Video”
I can’t tell from this video if this was done in Orlando last night (or early morning), but when I landed in Orlando at 2:30am this morning, and walked to baggage claim, there were a group of about a dozen TSA employees gathered at the exit lane, and they looked very similar to this group. Perhaps they were waiting for “someone” to arrive and give them $10K checks?

It is debatable whether those TSA (and ATC et al.) people that could hang on and not call in sick (unless truly ill) deserved this extra bonus over their colleagues who (for whatever reason) could not or did not show up every day they were required to do so. Some of the latter may not have had confidence they would eventually see their missing back pay or they had unanticipated costs, etc. [I know of one ATCer who arranged a low interest loan to carry him over this time span. That option might not have been available to everyone?]

Schlossberg’s just another sick little puppy.

His family knows it (but AT LEAST he hasn’t wandered off the ~~plantation~~ manor like his first cousin once removed—though boy, wouldn’t they love to remove that cousin entirely!)

OTOH, maybe he’ll grow up—having ALREADY demonstrated that he KNOWS how to delete Internet posts that prove beyond the shadow of a doubt that he’s an insane wanker (i.e., showing that he had some sense of SHAME / REGRET / CONSCIENCE?) so maybe there’s some hope there…

(On the third hand, maybe he’s just another—“the drugs made me do it”—psychopath…with political ambitions…)

Whatever…yes, alas, he’s probably a shoo-in to replace Jerry “Antifa’s just an idea, it doesn’t exist” Nadler…

One thing pennies are still used for is the “smashed penny” souvenirs at places like zoos and museums, and even Disneyworld (one AesopSon and his family just returned from there and his wife is a fanatical fan of that keepsake genre).

Of course, you have to put 50 cents in the machine (2 quarters) to turn the handle to press the penny flat and emboss it with the chosen design.

What a steal.

The investigation began under the Biden administration, and the charges are the result of a nearly three-year investigation.

Back then, you could actually buy something with it. Even when I was a kid, penny candy was still sold – and for all I know, maybe it is today.

Way back when, my mom used to send me on errands to the corner store, and would let me have a “penny treat.” For a penny, I’d get a baseball card with a stick of gum. Pretty good value for a penny.
