Just an aside...I had 13 new hires that I had shepherded through getting clearances, training and turning into a very productive development staff. None of them had much PTO on the books. They had no way to weather the "string along". I lost all of them to competitors. When the customer finally signed the contract, they thought we could just jump back into full stride doing development. Nope. You (customer) squandered a fine team. All gone. We have to start the whole process of recruiting/clearing/training all over again. All I had was the code base (4 million SLOC) in Ada, C, C++, Java, JavaScript, PL/SQL, Perl, SWAG and a damaged 40 TB SAN with gypsum dust damaged drives from sloppy construction practices. Lots of damage VMware VMs. It took 3 weeks to get the build environment working again. Shutdowns can be damaging.
Acknowledged, however, in this case, at this time do you think a shut down is warranted. Putting aside how it may personally affect you ?
From a non-GOV employee perspective?
Have we reached the breaking point where a majority of Federal employees are OK with taking a Furlough over being forced to sign onto a monstrosity spending bill?
Over giving this administration a blank check to spend unlimited funds ?
They will bring up a vote to end the filibuster by the end of the week.
Close it down.
Life may improve.
I am hearing constant reassurances that there will be NO tax increase for those earning less than $400,000.
I don’t think that is enough to get the votes needed
🍿
Aaaaaargh.
Fedzilla does NOT shut down.
Ever.
Most of it gets deemed essential and chugs right along screwing taxpayers silly.

I THINK he did it so he could “bring it up again.”
McConnell does this sometimes.
