What malarky. They JUST missed their first DELAYED paycheck.
Either they have already paid January's rent/mortgage and fixed bills or have the money already allocated to do so.
Banks won't start foreclosure for 3-4 months and landlords know the back pay will come to catch up with.
As to food/gas - and credit cards already declined as unable to pay for a cafeteria lunch! Horse pucky.
I'm in my 80's on Soc. Sec. I've got my January fixed bills money in hand. I've always got enough foodstuffs to go at least 2 weeks. As to gas and misc - I NEVER have cards maxed out- far from it.
And I sure don't have the income these people have.
They're 'NON-ESSENTIAL'. Do what Reagan did with the air traffic control employees striking for higher pay (making $25 an hour in the early '80's!) He fired them and hired new. And they WERE essential... well, the jobs were, but no one employee is. They can be replaced.
Start culling!
I agree. Amazing. Gvt workers are some of the best paid people in the US and they’re wailing like their first born has been taken. (Of course we all know they’re doing this for effect.) GROW UP! Save your money.
