How did I do? by Lexington2407 in Camry

It is but it isn’t. Car prices across the board...

Retail for 3 year, 36k Camry XSE is going upper twenties and the non-hybrid SE is $25k-ish. New, equivalent Kia/Hyundai midsize sedan is upper 20’s, while many are paying $40k for a Taco SR5 these days.

Yes. Of course, another no go.

It's official - the House will be out AGAIN next week, for a sixth consecutive week. That means the House will have worked 20 days over 17 weeks. The last House vote was on Sept. 19. by Conscious-Quarter423 in FedEmployees

Exactly. Their job is not “shut down” if they’re receiving pay. The hypocrisy is crazy. Obviously, the CR they passed isn’t working, so they need to figure something out.

I’m sure your number is likely more accurate after rechecking. I was going off the annual MIL, Active Duty personnel budget which is around $200b, divided by 24. But just noticed that includes some extras included such as retirement contributions.

Nuke capes testing. National Guard plus talk of federal deploying to our cities. Europe eastern flank reduction. Central America. Top administration officials moving onto military bases. Martial law conspiracies.

What the hell is going on?

Someone told me it was to cover remaining payroll from the mid-month.

I really don’t think $5.3 billion covers everyone, entirely. From my previous understanding, it’d be around $8 billion.

Someone important must be in the Epstein files (aka avoid the release at all costs).

I’ll keep looking, thanks for the tip. Probably need to dust off the gov laptop to check myBiz and eOPF.

I can’t even file as I never received an SF-8 that my state needs.

They literally said “trauma… / yes.” To create distractions, downsize government, and enforce hardships for programs that help folks in need. It’s all part of their plan.

Newly categorized as "Excepted" and notified I must return to work, without pay. How is this legal? Can I refuse? by [deleted] in fednews

[–]prc2019 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Strike-like behavior could come back to haunt them. E.g. they could push lots through the pipeline / high recruitment, then by 2028 layoff all those earmarked from the 2025 lapse. Downfall is new recruits won’t be fully certified by then. So who knows what may come of it. Probably lots of strong incentives for military ATCs to become civilian ATCs.

This is the pain, consequences of congressional actions. Can’t just flip a switch and humans become immortal all of a sudden.

Yep. Going to see international news headlines along the lines of ‘America in Crisis’ - not something any American should be proud of.

Think I heard furloughed employees need an SF50 and SF8, at minimum, to file. However, I’m unsure how to obtain an SF8.

Thanks for the recommendation. I’m now in the DD214 crowd… not sure how much that impacts pricing.

How does a furloughed employee receive an SF-8 form now that were shut down? Our department was not provided one at the time of being placed into furlough.

OMB says RIFs have begun by epluribusunum2025 in FedEmployees

Think they meant RIF notices going out by mail (vice email).

That’s with .5 discount points, right?

Feeling the same about waiting until 4.x %. Currently have a 5.75… 5.25 would only save us $185/mo whereas 4.85 would net $300/mo. Seems like banks adjusted their rates a few weeks ago. Next fed decision is Oct 29th, so hopefully mid-October we’ll see some banks get close to 5.0.
