It’s absurd to attack the workers who are being screwed by the shutdown. There’s a lot of outlandish supposition and projection in the OP

Call a plumber and tell him his income and job are guaranteed save for pulling out his dick at work and playing helicopter with it...and even then he can hire an attorney and have a hearing where he might still get to keep his job.

He'd still be pissed if you told him he was working without being paid.

You think income is unrelated to budget?

No, I’m trying to understand what their salary/wage at their federal job has to do with their preparedness for a period without income. If I make 2k a month I can still find a way (provided I’ve been in the workforce for a while) to save a few months bill and grocery money. I did it when I made less than any of these workers.

You don’t think people with low wages can over time build an emergency fund? Ever heard of a side gig, tard?

That's good. A willingness to learn is always welcome.

Where do you suppose they get the resources to build an emergency fund?

Are we not talking about the fake scenario where a plumber and federal employee are comparable?
