My (conservative) friends who work in animal shelters in California have had this ongoing for at least a year, even as incredible numbers of animals were dumped at much higher rates than ever before. I never heard them whine once.
Good for them. I don’t hear conservatives complaining either at work....however, we are on a website discussing it so you might hear some emotion. What good is the site if there is not any complaining...lol.
Most of the potential customers of mine and the contractor I work for are low on work and money-and that means we are, too. I pray every day for just a couple of days a week of work, no matter how small the job or little the pay-most everyone I know prays for the same thing. I can’t imagine whining over a temporary furlough.
I feel so badly for the animals abandoned by owners-my three cats were shelter refugees-I’ve made a promise to myself that as soon as my life becomes better than hand-to-mouth again, the second bit of money I give to charity will be to the local animal shelter-the first, of course will be to my parish church-to God, as thanks for better circumstances.
