Federal employees really live in a different universe. But enjoy the vacation that the rest of America is paying for. Nice gig. Enjoy your restaurants and galleries. And cash that nice check when the shutdown is over. Living the dream while doing nothing.

And if they had no money to live off of you would tell them they’re financially ignorant.

I have enough saved up for months of this, and I’m enjoying my time. Not my fault congress is a failure.

Most of these posts were from 2018, a different time in so many ways.

Now all of us are doom scrolling, looking for jobs, and trying to save money and cut expenses.

I guess the ones married to BigLaw partners and whatever are chilling
