Re: Opinions on the U.S. federal government shutdown
I have always found the term "non-essential" lacking in terms of precision and valuation of the work people do. It causes a lot of contention during times like this, or during disasters and such. A much better set of terms would be "critical"/"non-critical". This puts more emphasis on the time sensitivity of the required work, rather than the worth.
I think the shutdown is a bad thing. The intransigence of many politicians has caused a failure of government. There is no direct impact on me, aside from the face-palms I engage in when thinking about this. |
