• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Hi, welcome to [Federal Agency HERE]! Let’s get you started! Here’s your new employee handbook, work station and computer.

Where’s the desk?

Page nine of the employee handbook, you must provide your own furnishings. (Alternatively, we can provide the furnishings and garner your wages until they’re paid for!)

That's true. But none of us know how much of that 4.6 BILLION DOLLARS was spent on $700 chairs, so this is a bit of a strawman.

You actually can. If you care to look and spend some time and effort.

Pretty much all non classified US government contracts can be found online.

I found dozens of contracts within a couple minutes. Pulling details just takes a little more time.

Cool.

So how much did the government spend on chairs, $700 or otherwise?

The 4.6 billion wasted by the Biden administration could have been used for so many needy people and causes.
Amen, brother!

How indeed.

To be fair, it was the Supply Officer and not the XO who turned me down. I did go to the XO and he said "SUPPO controls the money, nothing I can do, you could try to turn up the heat." I guess the thermostat works.
