I’m a fed contractor. I will NOT be paid for any time off during this shutdown. If it goes too long, I’ll have to get a new job.
So, I have skin in the game.
That credibility established, I say, SHUT IT DOWN until Obamacare is crippled. This Obamacare is an America-killer.
So in America, government hits Laz...
I don’t see how you’re worried about being pay. Your contract is funded at appropriation until its expiration or renewal. Your’s must be a very short term or general funds contract. Our’s is funded on a yearly basis and our current year just started.
For the record, why do contractors not get paid?
Do you work on a government site? If not, unless the contract specifies that it is curtailed during such an even work should go on. Work off site should not be affected
That credibility established, I say, SHUT IT DOWN until Obamacare is crippled. This Obamacare is an America-killer.

I appreciate that Laz. Some of my work relies on federal funding, but it would be better to shut down the monolith and let the markets work. Short term pain but long term gain, at least the gain of freedom.
I thought you were a chef
I’m one of the low income uninsured and I have no intent to accept Obamacare. I refuse to enslave the children of others for personal gain.
good for you
you have standing to be a credible advocate because you are not just calling for other people to make a sacrifice
Good for you Laz.
I got laid off a military contract job a year ago, and haven't been able to find a job since. I'm in the process of starting my own business.
A friend who was laid off with me has been laid off twice since.
I know that you're not a federal worker, but it's time to welcome them to the party.
Unfortunately, this will just be a paid vacation for them.
Apparently, the Obammycare websites for signing up at the exchanges (Exchange your freedom for a little blue pill) are still open.
Somehow, this is an "essential function", and they are launching it anyway.
