90% of Nuclear Regulators Sent Home Due To Shutdown
An anonymous reader writes "More than 90% of nuclear regulators are being sent home due to the Federal Government shutdown, as the agency announced today that it was out of funds. Without Congressional appropriations, the nuclear watchdog closes its doors for what appears to be the first time in U.S. history. CNN reports that while a skeleton crew remains to monitor the nation's 100 nuclear reactors, regulatory efforts to prevent a Fukushima-like incident in the United States have ceased."
Because it's all a show!! There are no real cuts just a reverse dog and pony show to try to "prove" how important the federal government is.
Paying taxes to buy civilization is like paying a hooker to buy love.
Give it a few days.
Hopefully these teahadists are not going to go that far. Even that seems too much.
If you can't get the votes to repeal something, just shutup sit down and deal with it.
