A bit. Company has work involving government contracts, and those may be on hold for a couple weeks. Once they're back it will shove planning all over the place.
When I worked for Social Security, as an attorney writing disability decisions for administrative law judges, I would invariably be declared 'essential', as were the judges. Hence, I went to work and did my job, knowing that at some point I would be paid.
However, the actual clerks that mailed out the decisions to their appropriate destination (payment center if disability found, or if a denial to the claimant only) were never declared essential. So the judge would make a decision, I would write the decision, and the decision would sit in some clerk's 'in' box until the government was back in session.
I will note that those that are in receipt of disability benefits continue to receive them during shutdowns. Hence, the various Trump supporters herein that proclaim they love the government to shut down, are not personally affected.
I feel sorry for all those Federal employees and subcontractors who will be out of work - and right at Christmastime = if this happens. Who pays the mortgage next month?
I thought you all loved border security. Ironically a shutdown over a stupid wall is going to force CBP to work without a paycheck. If it gets shutdown for a very long time because of emporer Trump's antics, I wonder if CBP personnel would just leave or quit, making our borders even more open.

Likely the feds will get back pay. The "shadow" government of contractors will only get paid if their companies want to dip into their overhead funding.
And this jerkoff is trying to pin this on the Democrats. Crooked bastid.
Why wouldn't he? they flat out refuse to protect American citizens with a border wall. that was the deal, fund the wall. If you fund the wall, no shutdown, if you dont fund the wall, then welcome to shutdownville.

I actually thought the deal was that taxpayers wouldn't pay for the wall. I heard that loud and clear. Find a way to fund the wall that "pays for itself" and I don't give a rat's patootie.
If the media didn't whip up their zombies into another frenzy, most people wouldn't even notice there was a shutdown.
By the way, if these are nonessential workers why do they have jobs?
They are not essential to government functions but still employed by the government. This would be government inspectors at military contractors.
