Nope. I am retired and I will still get my SS check.

What government shutdown.

Essential, have to work, no pay. Have to live with it.

Yes. The sombrero memes have made me laugh.

No pay no play, I would call in sick. You want me to work you pay me

Not me personally but one of the local banks had a team of bank examiners that packed up and left in the middle of the examination.

not even noticed it was shut down.

Nope.
Not a bit.
But I have friends who are essential and likely got the customary notice to continue serving - without pay and all leave being cancelled. Serious morale booster.
Then the non-essentials stay home and will get paid for their stay-cation.
This has happened many times over the past 30 years.
Maybe, this time will be different...

It’s all political stunts and I don’t give a shite about politics so it hasn’t affected me one bit.

To be honest I will get back pay once the shutdown ends, so you just need to be prepared for the possibility when your essential, and if not then that's on you.

It's just the way it is for a cushy govment job. People know this, or should know this, when they apply.

Damn so its just a free vacation?

Yep. I sleep better at night knowing Trump is about to fire 750k unneeded Fed workers and the Democrats will be to blame...

And yet they’re still there. So they accept this scenario. Good on them.
The only people who will probably notice the government is shut down, work for the government. The majority of working Americans- TAXPAYERS- will never feel a difference.
And if you notice, media aside, the only people crying over this are politicians.

Someone explain to me like I’m 5 why they have to shutdown parks and forts etc.Seems like it’s more of a punishment for the public because the damn ranger are still there not doing anything.

No, if you read what I posted it said I'm currently working with No Pay. Once the government shutdown ends I will be paid for the time worked. Oh and I have to go in to physically work.

One of the guys I hunt with got furloughed and he was hunting all the good spots while I was at work. Outrageous.
