Govt. Shutdown?.again?

[CHA-LEE]

Gov Shutdowns impacting peoples pay is nothing new and will keep happening. Gov workers not being prepared for what they KNOW will happen again and again and again results in zero empathy from me. If you choose to work for the Gov or rely on the Gov handouts disruption can and will happen. If people don’t like how this impacts them, get a Job that doesn’t rely on the Gov to get paid.

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....

IMHO, most people live well beyond their means.

What happened to having a minimum of 6 month salary/expenses saved? Most of those fed jobs, and especially ATC, are well paying jobs.

If a 2-income family are both dependent on gov jobs, well I think that's just piss poor planning.

1000% agree. The standard of living in America is so incredibly high compared to anywhere else on Earth.... especially when you consider historical standards. Our cars are nicer, houses bigger, everyone has massive TVs and fancy $1k phones.

Good times create weak men.
