Congress spent $96,000 for a meditation app to calm the nerves of House staffers who felt traumatized by the Jan. 6 attack, according to federal spending watchdog OpenTheBooks.com.
Congress’ agreement with a San Francisco-based health software company gave House staffers a free subscription to Calm, its meditation, sleep and relaxation app.
Ohio Democratic Rep. Tim Ryan, chairman of the House Appropriations subcommittee on the legislative branch, announced the app agreement in a December, 2021 letter to staffers as part of a larger effort to address the trauma staff felt as a result of Jan. 6.
“As we head into 2022 and prepare to mark the first anniversary of the events of January 6, 2021,” Ryan wrote jointly with the subcommittee ranking member, “be assured that these offices are here to support you with their comprehensive mental and emotional support resources and to help develop and improve your resilience, growth, productivity, and overall well-being.”
The meditation app purchase was funded from a $1.9 billion emergency spending package Congress passed to enhance security after the Capitol breach.
Fox News reported that Ryan is well-known for his devotion to yoga and meditation. more here
Why not? When you don’t have to worry about yaknow, actually spending real money, a $100K is not even a rounding error.
We are actually at the point that the old Soviet joke has come true here, they pretend to pay us and we pretend to work.
…IDK, maybe if you don’t do things you KNOW you DESERVE to be hung for, you won’t have to worry about being hung so much?
Meditate on THAT.
They can use the app while working out in the staff gym.
What a mass of sissies.

…you know, if you had the nutz (so to speak) and the training to concealed carry your OWN firearm like Lauren Boebert, that would ACTUALLY make you MUCH more secure than any homosexual phone app can even pretend to make you feelz.
Just saying.

Other people’s money.
And all while our infants and young children starve. Typical uncaring conduct by reprobates and lowlifes, the stuff ‘that-party’ is built on.
How much will the civil war app cost?
