This is all for show and illustrates that shutdowns have become political theater while we all suffer.

Shutdowns limit executive actions; agencies can only perform “excepted” functions (e.g., emergencies). These Reductions in Force (RIF) create new obligations (severances, appeals) that require funding, which is unavailable.

This makes the RIF “incompatible with the law” and a “made-up” expansion of authority.

Government employees should be prohibited from unionizing.

I am sure it sucks, but I trust you are aiming your ire at the ONLY person's responsible for this - Democrats.

It's your party's fault.

Y’all can all go pound sand. Nobody cried for my friends in the oil industry when Obama and Biden cost them their jobs, in fact Yall celebrated it and said learn to code. What about all the other private industry jobs lost because of gvt regulations? I hope 60-80% of yall lose your jobs and have to work in the real world with the rest of us.

Government rank and file workers should have their salaries capped at the median salary for the average American worker.

Having a lot of uncertainty in any job can be shitty.

You're on the right track IMO.

However, I think it's more of a case of these republicans being bribed/compromised over the bleeding vagina scenario. Either way, they are hurting America.

Government is too bloated. It needs to be reduced. This is what I celebrate. I pay a ton of taxes so stfu.

No one is entitled to a job.

Why, because you actually had to work and be accountable for producing?

I'm sure you are not digging ditches with a shovel so it cannot be that bad.

If you don't like your job then why don't find other employment or start your own business.

This is how you know division efforts continue to work. They've successfully turned this into a finger pointing issue with no shortage of true believing idiots to buy into this line of thinking.

Who is to blame? Every single damn one of our useless Congress members who have refused to do their fricking jobs for decades now.

They, collectively, put a lot of time and effort into getting those fingers to point at the other side when in reality the whole useless lot is the problem.

If your job is being a lazy leech on the backs of taxpayers, I'll celebrate that job loss.

What's the saying again, umm, learn to code.

Entire states are about to be in a recession due to these federal job cuts.

Who’s suffering?

My life has not changed 1%.

And I flew from Houston to New Hampshire Thursday. No flight delays.

What we’ve “suffered” is overpaid useless civil servants for far too long.
