I picked the episode after scrolling through the hundreds of other miniature rectangles that bear a different program’s name on Netflix, rectangles that when clicked, lead to something…
The government shutdown has finally ended. Multiple federal workers have been furloughed, with even more working without a paycheck. As a conservative, I am mortified.The current administration has gone against their duty to serve as representatives for the citizens of the United States by refusing to cooperate with one another and pay hard working Americans….
