Seeing the mentality of these fed gov employees has been eye opening. They have no idea what the real world is all about. We need to update the adage “those who can’t do....” to “those who can’t do, teach and work for the federal government”
I just heard an union rep say that “air traffic controllers aren’t trained to deal with the stress of not receiving a paycheck for a few weeks”
To that I say suck it up, buttercup. I lost my paycheck for a year and a half during the height of the democrat voter caused recession when our family owned general contracting company went under. I still had to work every day for a year trying to complete all our projects, close it down and deal with bonding companies. My dad, brother and I put every penny we had into the company for one last run at it about 3 months before the end. Too many rumors caused us to lose the contract that would have kept us afloat. I lost my dad and my job in the same day, quickly followed by my house 3 months later. I can proudly say that I never took a single dollar in unemployment or charity. Real men just make it work.
TL/DR - federal government employees are worthless pussies that “haven’t been trained to handle this stress”

Abc news was on at the restaurant and was running a special with some of your typical lower level government employees who ‘couldn’t afford to feed they children’

You do realize it isn't just the elites that aren't getting paid right? The everyday 9-5 person is getting fricked hard here
The stats released earlier today were 10% of furloughed govt. workers, or 80,000 out of over 2.5 million total govt. workers, are in need at this time. Another 30% of the furloughed at "moderate risk" which was left undefined btw.
Not talking a bunch of people in any one location other than the DC suburbs, which those people chose to take that job, in that high cost of living area. I got no sympathy for drug addicts, drunks, or bums either.

This isn’t the first and won’t be the last government shutdown. It is part of being a government employee.

No, they are not out of money. They just don't want to tap into their savings.

It's not like these workers don't have some real property that they can pawn then take it out of pawn after they get paid.
If it's a choice between pawning something for a while and eating then what to do is a no-brainer.

At this point, 5 weeks in, if you’re going hungry because you’re sitting on your duff waiting to go back to your federal job, I have very little sympathy for you.
I’ve worked in the private sector my whole life, and I’ve gone thru stretches of unemployment when things were lean. I never went hungry. There are legitimate ways of bringing money in if you look for them. You just have to be willing to do whatever it takes.

That's a damn disgrace that our federal government employs people who can't even save enough money to EAT past 2-3 weeks.
I would encourage you to look at even an O-1's salary before making assumptions like that.

And if you’re living paycheck to paycheck, there are ways to get some money (ps - landlord not going to kick someone out for missing 1 months rent when they explain the situation too)
Yeah, go to the loanshark who will charge you 60% interest. Great idea. You’ve clearly never lived paycheck to paycheck, and mom and dad obviously have paid for everything for you.

No. They are getting 0% bridge loans and grants to get them through the shutdown. Just google it.

No that's just being smart by saving a few dollars and not pissing it all away and having to ask for free shite. Its not my fault these dumbasses can't save enough to eat for three weeks!
Posted on 1/24/19 at 7:20 pm to Jimmy2shoes
I can’t speak for others who are on furlough but I am fortunate enough to have over a years worth of salary in my savings. I do have empathy for those who, after missing two paychecks, are struggling because I’ve been there in my younger days.

I don’t use the privelege argument, but you are the textbook example on why Leftists use it. You’re giving them a lot of material.
