If it took multiple debt ceiling hikes, I'd rather achieve the savings.
People get together and go to the movies or on hikes, but everyone maintains their own independent domicile.
I go on a lot of hikes. I read a lot. I play piano.
And I can imagine Farmer saying he doesn't care if no one else is willing to follow their example. He's still going to make these hikes, he'd insist, because if you say that seven hours is too long to walk for two families of patients, you're saying that their lives matter less than some others', and the idea that some lives matter less is the root of all that's wrong with the world.
My idea of a vacation is staying home and doing short day hikes, floating the river and things like that.
