it's not a both sides thing, that's still sticking with a two - sides narrative.
liberals/dems and leftists are not on the same side.
Granted the spending hasn't gone down, just the idea that both sides are lighting themselves on fire because of shitty arguments about whose dick is bigger is amusing.
800,000 "non-essential" federal employees are furloughed. That's nearly 1 in 325 people in the US.
Non-essential government employees?
So basically... physical bloatware?
Anything non-essential in the government shouldn't be in the government. Government should only be "essential".
the projected definition of essential is the biggest miscommunication here. Essential specifically means critical to the continuity of government and national security.
IE, the country immediately falls apart if the essential people stop working. Non-essential just means the country can sustain, under duress, for a little bit before things start to degrade. 33 days is on the upper edge of "a little bit" and we're starting to see degradation.

I think the workers who have been shutting down operations deserve some credit here. if it was just a pissing contest between those two it'd still be going, but i believe workers calling in sick en masse to effectively safely strike (since they're not allowed to actually strike) and shutting down an industry played a key part in moving this forward.
any country that promotes it is a fucking shithole tooAny country that bans workers from striking is a fucking shithole.
Has anyone actually looked at what Trump held the people hostage for? He got a fucking committee. He fucked over the populace and did more damage to the economy than his wall would have cost for a God damned committee.

I'm far from the MAGAs but some of them really were non-essential. It takes a real commitment to lose weight. Unfortunately this is forced starvation, not a healthy diet.All non-essential government employees should be fired so the government can be shrunk to a “better” smaller size.
They’re not essential, it’s a waste of tax dollars that could pay for the wall.
Non-essential to a lot of people sounds like "why in the hell are we paying these guys in the first place then".
In this day AND age with mumbling idiot politicians, you do quite well.
Anyone else notice that MAGA's have made up their own fake crime of "collusion" that no one is guilty of, and and anyone looking for evidence of it is a lolberal on a witch hunt?
The hatebox hosts have been screaming for months that the collusion was
Was really Hillary and the Russians when she paid fusion gps to work with the Russians to create the fake dossier, because it’s a product of Russia so that seems the collusion HILLARY not Donaldus Maximus, who didn’t even know Russia was a place until after he’d won the election and golden showers, ya know, with the hookers and the pee, in the hotel in Russia, that was a HILLARY thing also, getting back at Bill by pissing in Donald’s hair that looks like it was fashioned in a fuckin cotton candy machine
NO COLUSSION NOSIRREE
