Its official.  The USA is now over $13 trillion in debt.   Folks, the ship is sinking fast and no one knows where the life boat is.

I wonder how accurately live that clock is. It's almost nauseating to set and watch.

That clock is supposed to be as accurate as humanly possible to make one.  Lots of super complicated formulas go in to the calculations.

Interestingly, If you open it, then disconnect from the internet without closing it, it keeps running.  



oops...... edit for punctuation.

Interestingly, If you open, it then disconnect from the internet without closing it, it keeps running.  

So it's obviously not LIVE, live. It's probably running on a calculator script based on statistics.

The original point I was trying to make is that the USA is now OVER $13 TRILLION DOLLARS IN DEBT!!!!

Not how the f'kn clock is built!!!!   

Seriously, are you guys engineers?

Sorry Mr Semp sir. The only reason I noticed, is because my internet connection was going in and out as I was going to close the clock.
