I'm waiting for these unpaid employees to strike and the massive problems that would cause esp.
if that included all border/customs and ATC staff as well, the country would really be on lockdown.
To be quite honest that is what I'm hoping will happen in some ways as it would hopefully really hit home what is going on and might sway even the most dedicated trump supporter to thinking that he might not be quite what he claims to be.
Just think of the economic problems that would cause, this would likely see the president suddenly becoming an ex-president very quickly.
Personally I think federal employees are being VERY patient and if the same think happened in Western Europe strikes would have happened by now.
