Every time this comes up confusion reigns over what is an essential government employee. Basically, “essential employees” are those necessary for the preservation of life or safeguarding property. IOW, doctors, firefighters, and security police. The government does many things that do not fit this definition of “essential”.
For example, very few government employees in the department of defense are considered “essential” but they do perform tasks necessary to defending the US.
Fine, and thank you....
How about firing every 3rd person...
Duck, duck....Goose.
