"essential workers" can and will begin to resign from important federal, policing agencies soon, only to be replaced by less- experienced, less- effective, personnel.

... investigations

If you're renting someone a home that you still need to make a mortgage payment on, how long are you going to be able to "float" people before you lose your shirt?

If you're a grocery store manager with a razor thin margin, how are you going to continue to extend credit before you have to start laying off your folks?

We ought not make the folks that aren't getting paid for the services they've rendered be turned into the enemy, whether it's the furloughed government employee, or the landlord or baker that is on the hook for a mortgage or supply bill.

There is only one fucking enemy in this shithole "Lockout" and that's Donnie Shit for Brains, the entire Retrumplican Party, and the hate-radio that controls them.

Can these paid hackers be investigated by unpaid essential personnel, who can and will be able to electronically obtain evidence on anyone, WHO MISREPRESENTS THEMSELVES AS ACTUAL MEMBERS @ D.U. What is a [b0001010011010]FISA Warrant? Is it able to link to the HIGHEST ECHELONS of U.S. Military, investigative and political crime-organizers, in important positions?

I manage my duplex to a break-even cash flow so that young people can afford to live in my high-rent city. I expect my payoff when I sell to the next owner.

I don't have any federal workers as renters, but if I did, I would need to extend credit. Not fair or sustainable to pass the pain on through the economy. Sadly, many folks do not have sufficient savings to weather the shut down.

Federal workers are running out of patience. A strike should be expected soon...and NOT condemned.

The arrogant assumption by Wilbur Ross and others that all families have a safety net is false and naive.
