Guess what: next shutdown, it will happen much quicker.
Those essential employees discovered how powerful they were and next time, they will use that power to get their paychecks again much more quickly.

This is the Reagan disaster coming full circle. This karma has been almost 40 years in the making. How ironic...

May you end up broke and homeless and unemployed so you can gain just a little perspective on the things you say...

Why should that change my perspective? Unlike you, karma apparently doesn't feel the need to punish me for having unpopular opinions.
What happens when everyone else acts just as greedily as those long ago air traffic controllers who were fired by President Reagan? Society needs people who are willing to put their society ahead of their own selfish interests on occasion. I'm tired of hearing how a few well-paid federal employees should get all kinds of pampering and considerations just because they didn't have the foresight to handle a couple of delayed paychecks.

And so they should! It's funny how Trump is a big capitalist right up until he asks over 100,000 people to work for free.
