On the one hand, I feel really bad for everyday people suffering because of this gov't stoppage. I'd say I feel just as bad as when the stoppage happened under Obama.
On the other, gov't jobs aren't supposed to make you wealthy, and we all have to save money for a rainy day. There is always a threat of a government stoppage with the shit politicians we have, this is a rainy day you should kind of expect as a government employee. I know I need to be better about saving for myself, so I will use this as a reminder.
I really do hope that all the people working honest jobs in the government get by ok.
But all the people who are purposefully doing redundant bullshit and working unnecessary positions gifted by their connections can fucking rot.
