I would say that it's pretty hard to do that when the NASA employees who are supposed to be involved are at home without pay. Since we always go back and pay all these people, we should just require everyone to work during a 'shutdown'. -- "Some people get lost in thought because it's such unfamiliar territory." --G. Behn |

Federal workers who are not deemed "essential" can't work during a government shutdown by law. They can't work even if they want to. They're not allowed to "donate their time". They'll get in big trouble if they do. I've heard from some federal workers that they got in trouble for checking their emails (likely sending replies too). Their boss texted them on their personal phones to "knock it off". Jeff -- All opinions posted by me on Usenet News are mine, and mine alone.

It's costing them money to work for nothing. Fees for late rent payment. Fines for cashing CD's early. Costs of loans to cover loss of paycheck. .... The real 'crime' here is all the folks who are NOT working getting retroactive pay for sitting at home. And all those government things sitting in congress and White House being paid big for doing nothing worthwhile. |
