As a farmer who's family has grown probably 2M+ bushes of soybeans since they became popular in the 70s. I can truly say that the worst part is spending night after night with little needles injecting the Republican poison into the fattest beans.

/s - do I really need this here? Oh hell yeah!

In my US state, you can be fired for "no reason" also.

The US doesn't have any real worker protections. And one political party in particular is trying their damnedest to remove the few we do.

Civilian employees will get it all paid back (so it's basically an extra paid vacation for them). With what most of them make (that I interact with), if they can't take responsibility for simple budgeting for a couple of weeks - that's their own shitty fault.

Should Congress not put us in this situation - absolutely! They need to loose all their pay (i.e. no later payback) for at least twice as long as the shutdown is. I know, won't matter to the vast majority of them.

Farming - family has been doing it for ~5 generations. I'd say we have put in about $10 M dollars over time (adjusted for inflation).

What's that dear? It's a way of life/occupation . . . are you sure? Seems like it must be a hobby given the return we've made on it over the years. Well, if you're sure.

My wife said that farming is technically an occupation and not a hobby. I still have my doubts given how much we have thrown away on it over the years, but I don't like to disagree with her (she's usually right).

If they were required to protect you, it would be better (not perfect, but better).

Alass, they have no duty to protect the people; Police Have No Duty to Protect the Public

Math checks out; ship it!
