There are many government functions that have to continue no matter. I think it’s only about 50% of the workforce on furlough but none are getting paid. A law passed in 2019 says we’ll all get back paid when funds are available, so technically the people working are getting paid.

that's bullshit. if it's vital, then make laws that ensure payment, not laws that force work for a potential future payment.

tells you what politicians really care about. because lawmakers are getting paid during the shutdown.

Here's a better idea than blocking ploiticians pay durring a shutdown (bacause that can be used to strong arm poorer politicians). If the government ever shuts down, funding continues as it was and we immediately hold elections for both the senate and house with all current members being barred from ever holding office again.

yes.

the government failed, elections.

there's literally no government, why pretend there is.

i didn't mean that we shouldn't pay politicians during a shutdown. just that it is bullshit that they can vote to not pay all the federal staff while they still get paid and demanding them to work while they do fuck all.

Some Dems at least made a show of trying to pass a law so they wouldn't get paid during shutdowns. Unsurprisingly Rs voted it down.

This would be a good first step. And then lock them up inside the building until they found a common ground. Make it like the papal conclave.
