Another touchdown for Team Shutdown! The opponents are out of timeouts now! Nail-biting fourth quarter here.
What kind of nonessential work do you do? In the public sector I take gigs where I can get them.
Anyway, as your employer, I never guaranteed that I wanted you to keep doing your nonessential task when my representatives conclude there's no plan in which it's in my interests to have you do so. I suppose you can sue me, or you can take up the enervating mantle of private sovereignty alongside me and take responsibility for your own life.
As you can see, you're not getting any sympathy here for good reason.
It was ok for ALL of the country to not get paid during Covid. Only the govt got paid. The govt is bloated. I have seen how long govt shuts down when Democrats rule. It is a few days because Republicans have sympathy. Govt employees always seem to get back pay as well. The civilians just get nothing. They just get fired.
Essential roles within the government still get paid when the government shuts down. They just keep paying money they haven't yet printed. When the government has a budget again, they calculate that in. Don't act like you don't get paid, fed boi.
Good on you. What is it that you do?
