Only in #America: the government shuts down almost every year like it’s a seasonal flu. Workers are told, “Keep showing up, but hey, maybe you’ll get paid, maybe you won’t!”
Why on earth would anyone take a government-paid job under those conditions? Imagine advertising that in the job description: “Competitive salary… unless Congress throws a tantrum.”
This isn’t democracy, it’s political blackmail dressed up as tradition. #Shutdown #USPolitics #Absurd
