That's the point. Any time off you take now gets refunded when it's over.
So anyone with any time in the bank would be a fool not to use it.
That's where the labor shortages comes from, even among "essential" employees who have to keep working.
No it doesn’t. I am an excepted employee, all the time I take has to be taken as leave. The only thing that gets restored is my pay, I have not got from the beginning of the shutdown. The time I take off will be deducted from my leave balance.
I just received a note from my health insurance company. The cost for my reasonably high deductible health care plan will increase by 27.5% next year. All the swear words.
I am in no mood for extending "temporary" provisions to anyone else, particularly if a single dollar is going to an illegal alien.

Health insurance in the US will not be mended until Americans cancel their plans. Massive, in force, cancellations.
Concierge medicine is growing. I’ve moved to it for my primary care but unfortunately have kept insurance for big stuff…maybe some day.
I really wish more Americans would search, learn and educate themselves on the proper care of the body.
So much that ails the people is easily fixable and curable by eating right, and working the body.
Diabetes is a great example, most people that have this can cure themselves.
Get blood work done. Research what the numbers mean and correct any and all deficiencies on your own.
Yeah, type two diabetes shouldn’t even exist. High blood pressure, high cholesterol…other examples.
We don’t have health care, we have sick care. They don’t care about keeping you healthy…there’s no money in it.
I recently heard alzheimers referred to as "Type 3 diabetes". Interesting.
We have a few really smart guys on this forum that used to put out a lot of great health information for us all.
A huge change for me was going carnivore. My BP went way down, lost a bunch of unhealthy weight and my numbers on my blood work really leveled out nicely.
I cheat from time to time, but I am about 90% carnivore and I have never felt better.
So many things that can be done for our health instead of listening to so many quack Dr.s that are on big Pharma payroll.
My jaw drops when I hear well intentioned people suggest donating to Food Banks.
Yes, there may be some that are well run, with volunteers. But I'll bet quite a few have administrators taking a heavy slice right off the top for themselves.

I don’t know anyone that’s noticed anything with the shutdown except maybe the people not getting paid.
Ironically that about how I got the last case of MRE's pulling additional duties, I was monitoring the Gate to a holding yard for vehicles being deployed and was going to be there a LONG time...guy supervising the op called and asked if I was OK and wanted to know if I'd like something brought out for Dinner, jokingly I told him I was fine, (and I was) send a MRE if you want to send something, send a MRE....well he did, in fact he brought a whole case! That's looking out for your people!
Hey, it was better than the stale cheese crackers in the glove compartment.
