With staff shortages and overworked and stressed out air traffic controllers, you have to wonder wonder how safe US air travel is during the current shutdown?

It must be frustrating right about now for those who voted for Trump and who find themselves in a predicament such as this one in that they dare not do anything that may cost them their job and yet at the same time, they are working without pay and are somehow expected to pay their bills. The sad part is that presidents and members of congress have had multiple shutdown showdowns and they are not impacted, negatively, in the least over any of them. And some members of congress believe that by loudly decrying that they are refusing their paychecks in solidarity with federal workers who are not receiving theirs, and are actually “feeling their pain” is absolutely ridiculous!
I wonder what is going to happen if the stalemate continues and the credit cards are finally maxed out. What then?

You make some excellent points, Shelby. From what I read the shutdown is already having negative effects on the economy – retail outlets suffering from the loss of federal worker dollars.

Well, apparently, the fallback go to is “GoFundMe.” I just read that hundreds of federal employees and their friends have started GoFundMe pages to keep the workers in their homes. Yeah! That should do it.
