  4. Sorry. No sympathy here. With rare exceptions, there is no reason overpaid and under worked gummit workers should not have the wisdom and self discipline to save up for rainy days.

  5. Let’s see: D.C. area restaurants in a show of solidarity with their downtrodden brothers and sisters because that’s what good little SJW’s do. Preening for the cameras. Cloying to the rest of us.

  6. Over the years I have witnessed private industry coworkers being terminated and escorted off premises many times during layoffs, some after years/decades of service. They usually received severance of a week’s pay for every year of service, and the option of COBRA insurance – continuing the current policy, but paying the full cost with no company contribution.
    I have NO sympathy for these temporarily financially inconvenienced federal employees.

  14. Pompous Demonrat operatives are appearing on Jimmy Kimmel’s show for a “Work for Jimmy” comedy skit, mocking their own furloughs. The Left really thinks this stupid stunt is endearing.

  17. The Shutdown

    For nonessential federal employees the shutdown is a vacation with deferred payment, yet we’re expected to weep in solidarity because they’re being inconvenienced. Welcome to the real world. We Deplorables work without pay for the equivalent of several months of every year to fund DC’s parasitic bloat. And we have to show up every day.

    No one in DC cares when they export or destroy whole industries and we lose our jobs and our homes. But when their personal cash flow is temporarily interrupted we’re to believe it’s a national tragedy. Some do worthwhile work. But let’s face it, many are otherwise unemployable leeches. Others are doing the country a service by staying home. Still others are employed by departments that should be abolished outright.

    Their sense of entitled well being is understandable. DC hasn’t known hard times in anyone’s lifetime. Example: in the years following the credit crash of 2008 the free-for-nothing money spigot gushed all over DC and their coastal cronies but never quite made it anywhere else. They’re still trying to explain why that’s the way it should be if banks suddenly don’t trust each other. Huh?

    DC is hardly less an aristocracy than was the Kremlin. The Soviet Union fell because the ruling class, the “vanguard of the people’s revolution”, somehow ended up with the limousines and country houses while the people stood in lines for bread and cheese. People notice these things. Even we “deplorable and irredeemable” notice these things. One day DC may get the enema it really needs.

  18. Only in America,

  20. The majority of federal employees in D.C. work 10 to 12 hour days, (which doesn’t include their commute), work paycheck to paycheck like everyone else, and have to live an hour and a half to two hours outside of the city because they can’t afford to live anywhere close. It is understandable to be upset over corrupt politicians and overpaid bureaucrats, and there are some lazy ones that are hard to get rid of, but everyone here seems to think that no federal employees actually work or are necessary, and that’s simply not true.

    In seriousness, would such people be willing to accept an ongoing position in the government. Have you ever met people who’ve said “I could never stand being ‘in’ the government”? Have you ever met people who’ve said “I can’t wait for my application to be accepted for that government office”? Compare and contrast those people.
