I don't have to go in to work today *and* I get paid anyway.

That's right. You, the American taxpayer are paying me, foshizzle, a nice sum so that I can stay at home and watch porn. Or football. Or do whatever I want. But I was explicitly told that I should not under any circumstances report to work.

Sounds like you are already getting paid for doing no work. Bringing your arse to and from an office every day isn’t work, but I’m sure you nonessentials think it is.

I started another thread last week lamenting the shutdown b/c I thought it meant I wouldn't get paid. Because I blamed Trump, several posters seemed to enjoy my pain. Lots of were played.

I just wanted to be sure they know the joke's on them. Back to porn now.

Stop bitching and enjoy it. The only difference is you are getting paid to be worthless as opposed to getting paid to pretend you are not worthless.

We pay non-essentials all around the world all the time. At least our guys are safer cuz you use your hand instead of outright raping.

You’re welcome!

Subtle brag?

What man with any self respect brags about not having a job to go to?

And if you’re getting paid to not work, that’s called welfare.

Your nonessentialness is duly noted.

“Essential and non-essential employees is a foreign concept to those of us who don’t work for government given the simple truth that there’s no such thing as a “non-essential” private sector employee. Businesses that retain “non-essential” employees are soon out of business, by definition."

True.

But those businesses don't have the legal ability to force you to pay them at gunpoint.

And if back pay is not authorized?

You are making an assumption about the future based on past events, that often turns out very badly.

So..you will just be doing nothing in a different place. At least your car won't be polluting the air and you will have to pay for your own coffee.

FWIW, you likely won't get paid going forward until the shutdown is settled. At that point, you may get paid retrospectively even though you'll have done no work. I'm neither gloating nor commiserating that fact.

I do think it is an obscenity that Dems, who consistently funded border projects during the obama term, no refuse to provide a mere $5B to Trump for the same. You should too.

Congrats on being nonessential.

so edgy with the post!

I doubt you do anything useful anyway.

paid for doing nothing useful vs paid for doing nothing?

no difference

I love the arbitrary 5B.

What are the estimates on completeing the steel slat, see-through wall/fence now across the southern border?
