This shutdown, now 28 days, this shutdown is the longest is U.S.A. HISTORY. Much of this shutdown can be attributed to a standoff over President Donald Trump's demands for $5.7 billion in appropriations to fund a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border. The shutdown impacts about a quarter of the government, 9 federal departments. More than 50% of the unpaid workers are still expected to come to work.]]> 2019-01-23 16:53:44 UTC https://padlet.com/jacob_goldberg2/4ho3pimki0tk/wish/323552642 jacob_goldberg2 https://padlet.com/jacob_goldberg2/4ho3pimki0tk/wish/323554396 2019-01-23 16:56:30 UTC https://padlet.com/jacob_goldberg2/4ho3pimki0tk/wish/323554396 agastya_bhatia https://padlet.com/jacob_goldberg2/4ho3pimki0tk/wish/323557169 The Navy Times estimates that as many as 43,000 Coast Guard employees are working without pay.

According to the book's twelfth page,
"The workers have 3 basic responsibilities; to protect the public, to protect the environment, and to protect the nation's economic and security interests in any ocean, coastal region, port, or inland waterway where they are threatened." One detail that supports this is since September 11, 2001, the Coast Guard has been a big component of the nation's heightened security initiative (pg. 14). Another detail that supports this is when some personnel found cocaine totaling a worth $80 million in a motor vessel. If the drug hadn't been intercepted, the cocaine could've sneaked into the country. The third and final supporting detail is the FACT that It's the Coast Guard's absolute responsibility to intercept attackers if the Navy fails to do so. The Coast Guard truly protects the country in every way they can and It's amazing what they do, and all the sacrifices they make (like other armed forces) to protect the people.]]> 2019-01-24 16:41:37 UTC https://padlet.com/jacob_goldberg2/4ho3pimki0tk/wish/324011008 jacob_goldberg2 https://padlet.com/jacob_goldberg2/4ho3pimki0tk/wish/324014504  In hurricanes, the author examines the hurricanes and how they destroyed our society, and explains that hurricanes in general do a lot of damage. Two details to support my thinking are hurricane Mitch which killed 10,000 nicaraguans, and 10,000 Hondurans because of mud slides. Another detail to support my thinking is that hurricane waves can sometimes reach 90 feet at a speed of 50 miles. ]]> 2019-01-24 16:46:21 UTC https://padlet.com/jacob_goldberg2/4ho3pimki0tk/wish/324014504 jacob_goldberg2 https://padlet.com/jacob_goldberg2/4ho3pimki0tk/wish/324391402  In Emergency Vehicles, the author examines vehicles that help in emergency situations, and explains that accidents happen , and that is why emergency vehicles come to respond to the situation.Two details to support my thinking are that vehicles such as ambulance rush to the scene to save the victim in dange]]> 2019-01-25 16:32:43 UTC https://padlet.com/jacob_goldberg2/4ho3pimki0tk/wish/324391402 agastya_bhatia https://padlet.com/jacob_goldberg2/4ho3pimki0tk/wish/324391495 2019-01-25 16:32:53 UTC https://padlet.com/jacob_goldberg2/4ho3pimki0tk/wish/324391495 agastya_bhatia https://padlet.com/jacob_goldberg2/4ho3pimki0tk/wish/324397175 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USCGC_Alexander_Hamilton_(WPG-34)]]> 2019-01-25 16:43:09 UTC https://padlet.com/jacob_goldberg2/4ho3pimki0tk/wish/324397175 agastya_bhatia https://padlet.com/jacob_goldberg2/4ho3pimki0tk/wish/324400510 America is often hit with earthquakes and tsunamis (predominantly West Coast) and the Coast Guard always does their job to protect the people, protect the area, and heal the injured. It's not only that, if for some reason some overseas attack gets past the Navy, the Coast Guard has a big responsibility on their hands. This is to take down the attackers in whichever way they must. Be it It's an aerial counterattack, terrestrial counterattack, or an aquatic counterattack.]]> 2019-01-25 16:49:45 UTC https://padlet.com/jacob_goldberg2/4ho3pimki0tk/wish/324400510 agastya_bhatia https://padlet.com/jacob_goldberg2/4ho3pimki0tk/wish/324403738

The author examines how climate change could result in a fire season, and explains that if climate change continues by pollution. Dangerous things can happen that are unexpected. Two details to support my thinking based on climate change is that one fire almost exceeded the size of Los Angeles. Another detail to support my thinking is that if the autumn rain continues. It will be less likely a wildfire would occur. On the other side, if there is less rain. Then a wildfire during the winter will have a higher probability to occur.]]> 2019-01-31 15:40:47 UTC https://padlet.com/jacob_goldberg2/4ho3pimki0tk/wish/326319740 jacob_goldberg2 https://padlet.com/jacob_goldberg2/4ho3pimki0tk/wish/326328326 2
