People wanting the shutdown to continue into the holidays - who has 40 plus days of funding in reserve to survive on? [View all]

Both furloughed and excepted employees do not get paid during a shutdown. Excepted employees must continue their jobs without immediate pay.

Who believes the majority of federal workers have 40-100 days of funds in reserve to survive while waiting to get paid?

What kind of party allows that to go into Thanksgiving and the rest, leaving them under the knife of the republicans and Trump? What the actual fuck is wrong with people demanding this?

What kind of politics leaves thousands of workers out in the cold over the holidays just to play out a dubious plan expecting republicans to care about the people they're deliberately hurting to bend on ACA. Do that stupid shit in two months, ffs.

Stop treating federal workers like they're your personal political pawns, and ignoring that we have a binary political system; no internet party, no media party, just the fascists and the party that always delivers when Democrats bother to vote in a majority.

Are people really big mad that federal workers can get paid and retroactive pay is guaranteed while the govt is funded for TWO MONTHS so these human beings can have what all of these pols and internet elite egging this on would enjoy without reduction or interruption over the holiday?

We should be relieved this dubious nonsense was paused in time for these people that are being treated as abstractions by Trump and his opponents alike in this tactic to recover their lives a bit before they're assaulted again. Plenty of time for the politics which can be exercised right now for anyone interested in doing something more than acting defeated by the removal of a feint; a political construct that relied on someone caring enough about the human beings in the middle to relinquish their position.

What the actual fuck has happened to people these days?
