I wonder too if there will be a lot of teacher call-outs to honor Carter, that maybe local school districts can just close as well.

When the government is off, federal contractors don't get paid. I have to use up my leave or take an unpaid day off whenever the government decides to give its worker random extra days off. There was just one on 12/24, too.

How often does a President pass?

Ford in 2006 and George HW Bush in 2018. So averaging once every 8-10 years. Inauguration is on MLK Day this year, so not an extra day. It evens out.

Surely, the average time between presidential deaths is the same as the average presidential tenure, so a number less than 8 years.

In recent history, Carter and George HW Bush both lived a really, really long time, which threw things off. Between Clinton (recently hospitalized for an infection and had quad bypass surgery) and Trump (McDonalds) and Biden (showing his age). I’d expect more than one death in the next 8 years.

But, Obama, Clinton, Trump, Reagan, and Bush 1 were all two term presidents since Carter (5 8 year terms if Trump is still with us in 2028) vs just Bush 2 and Biden who were not (so 2 4 year terms). So the average term length since 1980 is just under 7 years (my back of the napkin math says 6.86 years). So one every 8 years isn’t that far off.

With such a small data set, it just takes a couple people living into their 90s to throw the numbers off.

Yeah, Clinton (cardiovascular disease), Biden (physical and mental deformities) and Trump obesity) objectively aren't getting there. Obama's commitment to health and W's Teetotaling and commitment to painting could help). Being sale Biden is already above the male average and Clinton and W are getting close and have obviously better care, so I'd go 78 Clinton, 88 Obama, Bush 89 (his stated pledge to never stop eating fried food kicking food outliving out his faith-based evangelism and Teetolaling, for referenced the oldest living Texan is an evangelical Texan of which there have been several in the latter two), and Trump 83 (his commitment to seeing out the presidency outliving his obesity and rage issues) if I were betting on this.

You make quite a bit more as a contractor than direct hire feds so you can pound sand.

Right but you don’t work

DP. I'm a federal physician who just covered all pediatric call for my hospital from last Tuesday to this morning. Well, someone took the pager so I could sleep for 8 hours midway, but otherwise, it was me, because we are short-staffed. All the deliveries, all the inpatient, all the admissions, all the transfers.

You can pound that sand in from both sides.

Curious, What federal hospital has pediatric services? Military hospital? Walter Reed?

I see you’re minimizing T’s long time severe mental disorder.

NIH and Walter Reed both see pediatric patients.
