The federal government shutdown is here, and that means some places around town are offering freebies. Most of these deals are reserved for government workers only, but some are open to everyone.

Furloughed workers receive 50% off weekday bookings to @GoApeUSA until 10/18 with Federal ID! Use code "FEDS50" to book at www.goape.com.

I don’t think I’d be comfortable flashing my federal ID in a bar just to get a buck off my favorite beverage.

Some of the unions are assisting their members in applying for EBT/Food Stamps. Evidently those are considered grants and won’t be repaid when these people get paid retroactively.
