There are other jobs in the market. What government employees dont want to do is have to "Work". Biggest pork in the government is the waste of it on the "worker"..Veterans will cease to get some treatments, especially mental health.
Bullshit

As a result, most of the department’s 377,000-plus employees won’t be affected by a partial shutdown. VA officials said only a small number of Veterans Health Administration workers will be temporarily sent home, and none of them deal directly with patient care.
Some transition assistance programs would be shuttered during a shutdown, as will non-essential call centers. But the department’s suicide prevention hotline would remain operational.

VA could weather a government shutdown better than most other departments
Guards and staff at federal prison will walk off the job.
Bull fucking shit
{Within the Department of Justice, most law enforcement officials, FBI agents, Drug Enforcement Administration officials, and U.S. attorneys will continue working. All staff at federal prisons, including Public Health Service Officers and anyone who deals directly with prisoners, will keep reporting to work, too. The chairman and commissioners of the U.S. Parole Commission will continue responding to requests for emergency warrants and processing parole certificates to preserve the writ of habeas corpus. The Bureau of Prisons‘ buildings, facilities, and commisionary accounts have enough carryover funds to be able to pay for expenses during a government shutdown such as this. Any hiring or training of new non-essential Department of Justice employees will be postponed, however.}
How Does the Government Shutdown Affect the Justice System? - Prison Fellowship
Homeland Security will run on a skeleton crew. Ports will not be secure.
Oversight for infrastructure will cease.
A few thousand FBI agents, DEA agents, and US Marshalls are gone.
A few thousand US Forest Service firefighters are gone.
A total fucking lie.
A few thousand federal weather forecasters (the source for most weather services) will be gone.
NASA is all but closed.
National Park Service and the Forest Service lose 80% of their workers.
But who cares, right?
Did you take RDerp pills this morning?
You're lying through your fucking teeth.
NON-ESSENTIAL, get it?
Government shutdown by the numbers: Who isn't getting paid
I did not say it was happening now. But the title of the thread is "Shutdown could last years".
The law enforcement and prison workers are not getting paid. How long do you think they can continue to work without pay? 6 months? How many people do you know who could work for years without getting paid? Even if a special program stopped them from being evicted or their homes foreclosed, how do you buy groceries, get to and from work, buys clothes for your kids??
