    In a civilized country these things simply wouldn’t happen.
    Not paying an employee is simply illegal, and If what is happening in USA now happened here, we have public funds guaranteeing any unpaid employee by any employer get their money. Usually used for private companies that go bankrupt.

    USA is such a shitty country, their regulation is of the caliber that would only be expected of a very poor developing country that lack resources to do better.

    I don’t think most Americans are even close to understanding how shitty USA is as a country. It permeates everything because Americans accept their society to be shitty, because they kind of accept a minimal government that doesn’t even work.

    Having a country with a two party system that begs for stalemates, and then is incapable of handling a stalemate is such tremendous lack of foresight, I bet most kindergartens are run better.

      They’re brainwashed from birth to believe they’re the greatest country in the world. Most of them never question it. Those that do need years to overcome the beliefs embedded in their heads.

    This is the conservative version of America.

    Starting to think maybe everyone should have shown up and voted in the most likely way to prevent conservatives from having power. I know that’s a lot to ask from Americans.

    If federal workers ever weren’t sure how little their employer feels for their life situation, here you go.

    This is such an idiotic game to play and so god damn harmful to everyone except a few, of course we can survive without a government for a while, probably even a few years maybe, but it’s fucking vital and everything WILL go to shit without it, so it’s so disingenuous to keep doing this as to prove to people we don’t need government, but of course that’s their goal and I wouldn’t expect anything less from this bunch of Reno grade magicians.
