Just to be clear, nobody worked for free. They worked and didn't get paid until the payroll system (aka Govt.) was back up a running. This is a common misconception pushed by....you guessed it, the mainstream media wing of the DNC. Nobody worked for free. Not one person. In fact, the saddest part is that these are average to above average wage workers who couldn't make it one month without a paycheck. That should speak to a larger issue but as usual, people are told that they were working free rather than the truth: That they were working for a paycheck.

Well it was for free until payday and some won’t be completely compensated, while some might also have incurred lates fees and interests that also won’t be compensated if we want further clarity.
Even sadder is that Trump is willing to do it again.

too bad they've gone back to work.
Now we have to pay them for doing nothing.

Well not actually nothing when you consider mistreating the tax paying public, ignoring outdated infrastructure and god knows what other shenanigans, like grifting while Presiding.

Just like as many yacht builders in my area already know. Sometimes the work stops and you need to skate for a month, or a lot more, so prepare for the worst and hope for the best. These aren't highly paid men and women either. Bigger question is why do gov't employees (some of them) feel entitled to a job in the first place? So many across the nation are laid off, in the private sector, and find other work or save just in case. Gov't employees shouldn't be any different. Whether the rest of the gov't is operating or not.

why do you say 'some of them'? do you know of any government employees who do not feel entitled?

I'm trying not to be hyperbolic. The handful of harpies the screech in protest in DC does not equal ALL. Just like all the other screeching groups of harpies, that represent a small fraction of the public. ;)

yup...rumor has it that there ARE some federal employees that actually work.
I mean..there are SO many of them. Statistics would imply that it's possible?

Lol!! Exactly ;)

you're amusing.
what other inane bubble brained ideas do you have?
I'm writing a book. I'll have the bad guys portray your thoughts.
