New countdown
Written by Goro, January 22, 2018
The Senate and the House voted today to end the US government shutdown and continue negotiating a funding agreement involving DACA with a new deadline, February 8th, coinciding with the first day of the PyeongChang Olympics (competition begins a day before the Feb 9th opening ceremony). A new countdown thus begins and this time it will parallel the Olympic countdown. (The Super Bowl is Feb. 4 and the SpaceX Falcon Heavy test flight may well take place early February as well.)
