Hundreds of thousands of federal employees have been deemed essential; thus they are expected to toil without being paid. Such workers include, but are not limited to:
Perhaps the shutdown is part of a concerted plan to impel civil servants to leave, thereby draining the federal government of its most adroit and able workers? Perhaps a shutdown-catalyzed exodus is merely organic, though there still, the skills and tenure lost is no less detrimental to the country.
And has Trump issued an executive order (the most timely proactive means) to re: credit card issuers, car note and mortgage holders, etc. to ensure the shutdown doesn't result in the affected workers' having their credit ratings lowered, charge cards cancelled, cars and homes repossessed/foreclosed, etc? Not that I've heard.
Trump doesn't give a damn about them, and nothing in the whole of his "gilded spoon from birth" life affords him context for doing so.
