I think they should just send us back to work, pay us, and we'll all cross our fingers and pretend to be furloughed. They've guaranteed us back pay, so it's just a colossal waste of money at this point.

the funny part is, the federal government can just make money out of nothing. it's not actually a waste of anything.

It's a waste of productive work hours. Its lost work time dealing with the extra turnover resulting from this. I get what you're saying but from an opportunity cost perspective it is a waste of time and will add to the budget unnecessarily.

That’s a fast way to Zimbabwe-like economy

Is this still going? I think it’s some sort of experiment

How much can the average American take? Just working without pay. Let’s see who cracks. It’s more than they thought

Modern monetary theory is a small consensus among left leaning economists that there’s a lot of room for monetary transfer to lower income groups before inflation kicks in.

Ah yes the awful days of 80s air travel.

Honestly having clear and global entry/TSA pre air travel is a breeze. I've shown up 20 minutes before the plane was set to leave and have made my flight.

That article shows that CNN is bad at news. A charity donation is not compensation, contribution or supplement for their services especially when they are currently not providing any services. The only way this could be punishable is if the employee took a donation in exchange for doing a job for the donater.

Not the other one, couldn't stand the other one. Nope nope nope. Here, enjoy this bird.
Our ethics official said you can do a go fund me if you didn't refer to your position or that you were affected by furlough. Basically, just beg. He was silent on family members posting those though.

Anyway, see you all on Feb 16!
