done with their temper tantrum.

I have one friend who is stressed out and working without pay in an "essential" government job. She says it is very frustrating knowing that some of her coworkers who are "non essential" aren't working and will get paid the same as her. So she is working harder because some people aren't and the ones at home are getting a free vacation a la republican nutbags on the taxpayer's dime.
