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.
