My husband has hit the "fuck you, pay me" phase of the shut down. People are starting to call in sick.
His role at Social Security is "essential" while his paycheck is not.
He will not be getting paid Friday. His last paycheck was half the normal amount.
Maybe this is how Trump kills Social Security, as he just stated he wants to. Prolong the shut down until the systems break.
