What have you experienced so far? Maybe it hasn't gotten to where you are yet.

I honestly don't expect to see much of it at all except in some fairly abstract numbers that mean terribly little to me other than talking points.

Here, they tried to run the school busses but not the snow plows. If I had a kid riding the bus I would have been pissed.

My friends and fellow service members overseas are trying to figure out what do do with child care. Dept of Defense teachers on overseas bases are getting furloughed one day per week as are other child care staff. Some units are considering reducing the duty week for people with kids so they can stay home with them.

Oh and also the schools can't make it through their curriculum on a short school week.

Apparently asphalt has been cut. I wish I could program the gps to remind me where the monstrous potholes are.

Don't military schools use that special military teaching stuff? Like, "1+1 is not 3. Your mother doesn't have 3 boobies. Are you stupid? Give me 20 pushups."

People operating in the free market and private businesses deal with this stuff every day. Companies lay off. Priorities shift. People get transferred. Hours get reduced or increased. Companies hire. Entrepreneurs start businesses. Restaurants come, restaurants go.

This is how the real world functions.

Grow the fuck up.

I want to go to Florida late spring but the control towers are not run by the private sector.
