Oh noes! GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN!!!!

[ealgeone]

That’s free taxpayer money they’re getting paid. Though I have no doubt not much work was being done anyway.

[bigbob]

Oh noes! He’s taking the mantle of a government shutdown! Will Schumer try to take credit instead?

[yarddog]

Does that include the post office?

[Da Coyote]

Whether or they come to work or not, the same quality is there.
(The reader is left to their definition of government worker quality.)

I am waiting for the 9th Circuit Court to block this EO.

His much work would be done on Christmas Eve, either in industry or at the office? Not much.

Work Monday, Tuesday is Christmas, and most everyone takes the rest of the weekend off.
