Check to see who came to work to Washington DC in a snowstorm, only the essential folks would come in.
The rest of em, the non essentials, stay home.
Those aren’t needed then, so why need em now.
Excellent point.
My suggestion to the President -
Trump: “By Feb 1st, all govt. employees must provide a written document which describes why their position is needed, and what would happen if their “work” was not completed. All those who cannot prove that the American people would miss their services - are fired!”
