If government employees had stopped getting paid back in March, the plandemic would have been over in April.

I work in state government... its stupid AF.

All our contractors shut down and went on unpaid leave for lockdowns while we had nothing to do. Months later, when contractors came back to work, government employees directed to take furlough days... so much waste.

Chicago teachers union got a big pay increase after their strike right before covid. They haven’t been back to work and still collecting pay to sit at home, and go on vacation. Don’t let this corrupt system go national.

for the federal government alone this would save 712+ million dollars.

[2.7 million fed employees that average $33/hr x 8 hours]

add in state and local employees and its got to be at least 2 billion.

The vast majority of those government employees are unionized with multi-year contracts that spell out salaries and holidays. It's not some at-will deal the gov can just make up as it goes along.

Hmmm, so what would happen if many thousands of Trump supporters were to suddenly stop paying their taxes? A tax strike? Would they have the resources to arrest them all?

Just thinking out loud here.
