Makes me thankful I work in local gov't. Used to be a time when I wanted a fed job but not anymore.

I know many Fed employees plus a few Family members, The sad part is the misconception that they are lazy and do nothing. Sadly it will be too late by the time others realize just how much Federal employees did and how well they did it. The collateral damage from this will be devastating. I retired but went back to work for the State of Maryland at the District Court and re-retired after 5 years due to the commute.
