re: A List of things that will affect my life with a Federal Shutdown

So there are federal employees who are perfectly fine with going without pay for the cause? I don’t doubt there are some of those who exist, but surely those are outnumbered by ones who would be quite seriously affected in a negative way. I could be wrong I guess.

But you'll get that sweet huge paycheck with all your backpay in it when they open back up.

Zero fricks given here

We need major shake ups in our govt bc they are mostly (95%) crooks. Only in it for the money.

I don't think 161 million workers should be held hostage for 2 million workers....many who won't be working in the public sector for long anyways.

Trickle down economics

I’ll lose my mail carrier who

1) refuses to deliver to my door because the driveway that UPS and Fed X and Amazon drive down every week is “impassible”

2) refuses to deliver to my door because “you have a big dog” that UPS and Fed X and Amazon pet when they drop packages at my door

3) when she gets behind in her deliveries, pulls packages from her truck and throws them in the ditch near my mailbox

I can’t live without her

They get paid. It may be delayed a bit but they get paid.

It’s a risk of being a government employee.

They all know this. Every single useless IRS and SS employee knows this.

MSNBC may be taking applications.
