What a bunch of sissies.
Some rain and wind, and our bureaucrats are paid to go home.
I agree. This might have some bearing.
The vast majority of government drones use the metro. It’s running slow due to some track debris.
Lots of schools shut down too. East coasters are absolutely terrified of inclement weather. I think it’s kind of fun.
At budget time, every single gubermint position is critical. Any other time of year, a little unpleasant weather makes them all non-critical.
Many schools are closed due to lack of power.
When I was working & they had to close down because of weather conditions(which was exceedingly rare)I was not paid for that day.
I think the same thing but my wife works for the DoD and where she works they were out of power this morning. She is telecommuting and our power down here has been stable so she is getting most of her work done rather than sitting around doing nothing up there.
Don't get me wrong as I have a very low opinion of a vast majority of Government employees as I have worked with them in one way or another since I was 18 years old. I figure that at least 80% do little to no work and just collect a paycheck from the taxpayers. I never had a high opinion of them then when I was stationed in the DC area my opinion fell even further and I have been upset about them ever since. Here in DC the pay grades are so inflated that it makes me sick. A standard secretary here in DC is a GS-9 whereas out in the field they are GS-3s or 4s.
