Someone told me a government shutdown means they stop providing non-essential services. So why don't we just "always" do that? Sounds like a huge cost savings!

Turns out, they somehow manage to spend more money "not" providing those services than they spend "providing" them

"Non essential" is always whatever you depend on.

That’s why they need to fire the non-essential working instead of furlough

All tax parasites

So ridiculous

that doesn't even... make sense.... governments I guess....

Did Google let one slip there? Oops. Can't cover all the basis.

That's because they make up for lost time when they "restart". The trick is to have a shutdown without a corresponding restart.

I'm not holding my breath. This zombie is gonna keep going until there is a major catastrophe.

Shutdown aka paid vacation.

Government should shut down non essential services forever
