Govt. Shutdown?.again?

At the Nascar championship races in Phoenix, there was no fly over, no military color guard and no military recruiting vendors setup in the midway.

Did any of the other sports ball events lack these the past few weeks?

Yes, United did a flyover at one event with one of their 777s to replace the military flyover. If NASCAR really cared, they could have reached out to one of the many veterans groups in Phoenix for a color guard. I felt like NASCAR went the way of many other professional sports when they bent over backwards for the Bubba Wallace "noose" fraud.

USAFA vs Army Football game had a privately-funded warbird flyover. Was neat.... but not the same as 4x F22s in full afterburner.

. At the end of the day, it becomes unplanned fully-paid time off work for hundreds of thousands of employees.

Why should the tax payers who continue to work pay their salaries.

It should be ?if you don?t show up.. you won?t get back pay?

I think fed gov employees like the extra paid time off?

Should only be paid if they used thier paid leave to cover the days off.

You know, conservatives work heavily in the government too.

What if you, in your job, are told they will be taking an arbitrary break from paying you, but you're expected to keep showing up and continuing to work full time, while also covering shifts for those quitting or not showing up, and oh, maybe someday, we'll pay you back (with massive deductions taken out of an improperly calculated check), but also, maybe not, and if you quit, fuck you and any back pay.

Know any fed gov employees or contractors? Pretty sure people like stability and regular paychecks, not chaos, and forced furloughs, for non-specific times, and also with no clarity of if they will even receive backpay.

Facing possibly homelessness or bankruptcy while driving for Uber at minimum wage is probably not how they want to spend "time off".

Most people live paycheck-to-paycheck these days....
