Oh, and BTW, we are essential employees so we work whether we get paid or not
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.
They actually do not. We almost had to take a loan last time.
So, I am not sure you are aware how entitled you sound.
Gov't workers have unreal job security healthcare/benefits and salaries. If us non Gov't folk have a bad year, we don't get back paid, we get fired. That isn't delayed pay, that is zero pay plus being thrown to the sharks of the black hole of a job market.
Yes, it sucks. But i'm sorry, your delayed but garunteed pay is not more important than the actions and monies buried inside a terrible bill.
Suck it up butter cup, it aint about you, it is about the durational health of the country.
Also, diversify your income.
Good on you. What is it that you do?
