    • And first government has been shut down since 22 of December

      And that isn’t just people that work in the government.

      Those are all federal employees. Park rangers, IRS workers, food inspectors, etc

      And not all of them are going to make the lost wages back retroactively once the government is funded

      And your tone speaks to the fact you never had the enjoyment of unemployment, never saw how fast your savings drains when you you have nothing coming in but the bills don’t stop

      Some people may not be paycheck to paycheck, but most regular people are not far from it

      Remember these are peoples lives, families, their children’s future, medical bills all at ransom cause of childish politics

      • Try to remember statistics about people aren’t faceless numbers. They are real people effected by a shutdown with no potential end in sight

        Since neither side is currently willing to budge

        • I'm guessing the idiots causing this mess still get paid? Not that they would have to scrimp and save if they didn't...

          • You know it. If the people who caused the shutdown were NOT going to get paid during said shut down, you can bet your last dollar they would resolve things the same day.

      • He wasn't. Replying. To you.

        If the comment is to you, you will get a notification. He was talking to the OP. He has not said a damn thing to you.

        Fuck, you're a retard. Every fucking week...how many times have you had this explained to you, and you still don't get it?

        • What are you on about? Remembered your nasty pills today, right?

          I do not get notifications when people respond to my posts and it's NEVER been explained to me at all, let alone every fucking week.

          I do know how to block someone's posts though, and I've just done it to yours. First time for everything, but I really can't be bothered with your nonsense any longer.

          • Ellenna, sweetheart, you have to go to MENU, then click NOTICES. The IIN webpage has a different versions for both mobile devices and desktop computers. I'm sorry the Mel doesn't realize that.
