Incomplete list of Gov Employees getting free things for their failure These people are being rewarded for their failure.  Is this right?  I think it's not.  They have easier jobs than all of us, they get paid generally more than all of us esp. in terms of benefits, and they get 3-5x more sick and vacation days than private industry.  When they fail, they are rewarded.  This is ultimately the problem. Also, the offering of free stuff to people who caused the shutdown in various ways, namely by undermining the Trump administration to get to this point, are using this as a political tool to show that Trump is somehow wrong to punish people.  This is akin to picketing prisons holding murderers and trying to whine "they are human beings!" when Trump calls MS13 criminals 'animals', which they abso-f_cking-lutely are as a matter of irrefute. I am hoping Trump causes these people to lose their jobs forever.  Because I'm a bad person?  No.  Because we need them to experience the equality / equal rights and social justice they are always talking about, by having them work an honest private industry job for a change, in order to get the perspective they most desperately need I'm stopping because the above link to the google search "offers free to federal employees shutdown" gave far too many results.  One would think there's a lot of hate out there towards Trump from industry, but really they are capitalizing on this for business as much as they are using it to backbite on Trump / supporters as 'virtue signaling' how much they are against the wall. Its more bandwagoning but by corporations. It's sick. I wish I had time to build a list but I don't. If this subject gets interest I might revisit it but it woudl be better to crowdsource a list and then maybe make an app that pops up a thing when you're near to a place that is on the list, a kind of the opposite of FOURSQUARE, where it repels you from a business.
