There's a reason.
A simple reason.
"Wag the dog."

That's the endgame.

Sis will be easy, she loves coming here and she has so much PTO saved up she could like take an entire year off.
Older bro is the wild card. He's an international pilot and he just started at a new airline, so he may not be able to swing a vacation quite yet.

Most mass media is now owned by billionaires.
Billionaires love Trump.
Thus, they force the media outlets they own to cover for Mango Mussolini.
America's media ownership laws must be heavily revamped after the regime is dismantled.

Non-sequitur: there's an anime called How The Realist Hero Rebuilt The Kingdom, where the main character uses The Prince as his guidebook to rule.
It goes way into the book, quoting passages and explaining how he refers to it when making decisions.
I don't even like anime, but I liked that show.

Move to Japan.
They're begging people to buy houses here.
Though I'll admit we had to look long and hard to find a good house we could afford in the city.
Most of the cheap housing they're desperate to sell off are in rural towns and villages.

Bro is retired Navy officer.
According to him, even after retirement, some parts of the UCMJ still apply to officers. Do one of those things, they can un-retire you and haul you into a court martial.
Dunno if it applies to enlisted.

California isn't just the hot desert of southern CA. The mountains there get very cold and have tons of snow in the winter.

And for those not familiar with civil service, GS13 is HIGH RANK. GS15 is max.
An equivalent military rank would be Major General.
Dad worked 23 years before he made GS13. He held that rank for 10 years because he stopped actively trying to advance, just stayed in a job he liked til he retired.

The key here, though, is that Greene will get a prorated pension based on her $174,000 salary.
My dad's base income as a GS13, not counting years of service or time in grade, was $155,000.
Yes, Greene gets less, but she will still pull down comfortable money due to that base salary.
Total cheese.

Yeah, big difference between her and civil servants like my dad is that she served 5 years and did nothing and will most likely have a pension just as big as my dad's, who served 33 years in the State Department and worked his butt off the entire time.
