The latest to come out from government employees is that this shutdown truly blindsided them. During the Obama shutdown, there was constant communication about what to expect heading into it and during it. For Trump's ha, good luck. It is almost like the teacher walkout I had to endure in May.
Then federal employees are even dumber than I thought. The primary news stories during the weeks leading up to the shutdown were that both sides were refusing to compromise and it was likely going to be a long one.
After we had a recent devastating hurricane our bills rolled
in as usual , couple of companies charged late fees.
Spectrum was/is the worst , relentless, even though calls
were made to explain the situation.
Big companies don't care that much to loose a customer or two.
Big corporations don't care about the people but they do care about the publicity. They are much more likely to defer payments due for federal workers because it is nationwide and all eyes are on them.
“I am proud to shut down the government for border security, Chuck. … I will take the mantle. I will be the one to shut it down. I’m not going to blame you for it.” Donald Trump

That’s a lie.
The budgets submitted before the shutdown were bipartisan, they were literally written before the Democrats took back the house. Trump chose not to sign the bipartisan budget. That means the “sides” were Trump vs both republicans and democrats.

If the shutdown doesn't end soon, chances are those "dumb" (as you call them) federal employee border patrol folks will just open up the border gates and go home. If you think there's insufficient border security now, just wait 'till that happens. Remember videos of all those tens of thousands eastern Europeans flooding across the "collapsed" Iron Curtain?

He is not the boss in case you didn't know.
