This is just unbelievable. Millions of Americans suffering and Federal workers getting full pay for doing NO work during all of this is just beyond the pale. They take our tax dollars while we’re going broke and go on with their merry lives. No wonder all government workers are in favor of the lockdown.
It reduces the general population’s financial status and makes them subservient to the government, or else. It also makes people more open to accepting horrible stimulus payouts which will make them further dependent on the government. I can not find the words....
So with some workers there’s no change
They should be working from home, or on unemployment like everyone else. This is very disturbing, and will lead to them not wanting to go back, because they are quite happy sitting around at home trying for paychecks while the rest of us struggle with bankruptcy and all.
Can you say “Fraud, waste and abuse?”
I know you can!
Dang it! Just when I was happy over NASCAR getting “some” action going, you have to dump this bucket of reality over our heads...{:-)
Surfing the Net for Porn is much easier when you’re “working” from Home sitting naked in front of your Computer.
It might be a problem in the Office.
Right. There would be a whole lot more anger at this lockdown if all those fed workers in NORVA and MD were not being paid.
With a lot of these Fedzilla “workers”, it would be a blessing that they aren’t actually “working”. And by “working” I mean f**king up Americans’ lives and livelihoods. Better yet would be to let them, for once, experience this thing in we in the private sector have to face all the time when things get dicey. It’s initials are R.I.F.
I’m convinced the majority of those wailing for eternal lockdowns know where their next grocery funds and rent/mortgage check are going to come from.
It’s time to end this attempted holodomor by the left.
I wonder if they will be eligible for “Nancy” money in the next stimulus.
Wait. Don't they always tell us that government shutdowns with government workers no working is a crisis?
There might come a time after perhaps in 3 generations when we (the US) will have to:
STOP THE PRESSES
“Essential” workers...
Why, don’t you know that they are essential workers.
I worked for the Veterans Administration for 24 years as a pharmacist. When we had a government shutdown I, nurses, docs etc. as essential showed up and worked. We got paid for it when the shutdown was over. This was okay with me. We had a duty to care for the patients.
The damn paper pushers were considered non essential and just stayed home for a week or two. When the shutdown was over they also received pay for work they did not do! The paper pushers are the progressives and not the workers. A shut down is supposed to hurt. Those leftists loved it!
They gotta keep the party going somehow!
Any question why they want to keep the shutdown going?
Should not homeowners be receiving refunds on their property taxes for public school services not delivered?
How is federal workers not working a loss to the economy?
What do they produce which adds to the economy?
I am still getting my social security checks on time.
