Listen, I'm all for limited government, hate the Alphabet boyz, and hate the overspending but the government shut down hurts a lot of us federal employees who actually work. Not all government employees are fat lazy slobs sitting in a cubicle. There are 130,000 thousand of us federal law enforcement officers who will not receive a paycheck and still have to go to work. As FLEO I'm a required to still show up for work but I won't receive a paycheck. I'm a single dad with two sons, who hasn't received a pay raise in 4 years, and I'm expected to still pay my mortgage, bills, student loans, and every day expenses (like gas to get to work) but not get a paycheck. It's scary.
I know a lot of you could care less about my situation and tell me to "Stop being poor". If it were that easy, I wouldn't be poor and living paycheck to paycheck. |

GS 12 and above ,,barred from .Gov employments for life.
Congress closed until at LEAST 25 members resign. No more Foreign Aid EVER. State Department MUST hire nothing but REDNECKS for the next 200 years. Dissolve NEA, IRS, EPA and at least twenty other agencies in a lottery format. Tell the World to fuck off while we "reset" our priorities |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Petro dollar is dying. It started when the co-creator of the petro-dollar, Saudi Arabia, began holding assets other than the dollar on its books. Now it annouced this year that it accepts Kenyan shillings for oil trade settlement. A short while ago Saudi Arabia, UAE and Iran attended the BRICS conference and it was decided that they (along with other nations) would be accepted into BRICS on 1/1/2024. That means 80% of the world's petroleum reserves will be controlled by BRICS member nations. Once Saudi Arabia formally rejects the dollar for oil trade settlement, it's over. If you didn't know Japan sold 1/4 trillion in US Treasury Bonds this year. China and Saudi Arabia sold $114 billion this year. While the BRICS did not announce a gold trade note (something China already has), it was agreed that among member nations they bypass SWIFT and the dollar for trade. I still believe the dollar will be the last man standing, but it won't buy much. So, in response to the OP's question, it ends when the dollar is worthless. All fiat currency returns to its intrinsic value: zero. And this is what people are missing. The Germans, arguably, lost WWII at Stalingrad in 1943… the fighting continued more than two years after that. We lost the war with SWIFT sanctions and strengthening BRICS. Close to half the world populations, a quarter of the land mass, and a third of global GDP (even ignoring specific importance like oil) is actively engaged in agreements to purposefully bypass the US Dollar. We already killed the goose that laid the golden egg, and now have been dancing around with the desecrated carcass… it’s going to start to stink soon. |

Sounds like a whole lot of “not my problem”. The Feds stifle economic growth left and right, pick winners and losers, make and ruin livelihoods on a whim, tax those of us who actually contribute to tangible production to the breaking point. How many people lost their jobs just solely due to Biden’s oil policies? How many lost business due to COVID bullshit? I would say you should seek a career with more stability, but that sounds like an inherent “risk of doing business” just like us peons face. |

She has a government agency ever taken a staffing haircut?
In the real world most of us have experienced it. I remember a 20% cut in 2010. No logic, just offer up names to get your management staff down by 20%. If you don’t, we will…. And we survived, in fact we’re probably better for it. Every agency could take a 20% hit and not miss a beat if they were so inclined. Of course they will rope off monuments and museums while crying like the pigs they are. |

Shutdown lol over 70% of people are still working in a government shutdown.
I've went through three shutdown. First one active duty still working, second one civil service was told only key and essential people will, I was told I wasn't key or essential till the third day and I became key and essential. Same thing for the third shutdown. Government shutdowns happen and people should not get paid if they didn't work. It's part of working for the government. |
