It is with deep concern that I am following the developments in Venezuela. The good of the beloved Venezuelan people must prevail over every other consideration. This must lead to the overcoming of violence, and to the pursuit of paths of justice and peace. I pray for all this, and I invite you to pray too, entrusting our prayer to the intercession of Our Lady of Coromoto, and to Saints JosƩ Gregorio HernƔndez and Carmen Rendiles. #PrayTogether

Itās not a ābuyoutā. Media keeps calling it a ābuyoutā but thatās not the offer. Their offer is to get public servants to agree now to resign in the fall, but they keep working full time virtually & get paid for the work. Thatās not a ābuyoutā. I can think of another word though.

The Trump administration is reportedly offering buyouts to federal employees, with at least seven months pay, if they accept the offer by Feb. 6. Those who resign will get paid with benefits and be exempted from all applicable in-person work requirements until September 30.
