Non-essential long term is very different than non-essential short term. Heck, they've furloughed everyone from civilian Coast Guard training personnel to FAA inspectors. Personally, I'd feel rather less safe if those folks weren't considered essential in the longer term.

I'm not in much of a position to be hurt directly, but it's hard to watch good employees like DoD civilians pack up. Best wishes to everyone.
