Something just occurred to me. Why the FUCK haven't the federal workers gone on strike? They are not being paid for their labor, after all. Do they fear that the nation would stop functioning as a result? Well, that is kind of the point - which will demonstrate that without labor nothing would get produced or get done. This is absolutely high time and an opportunity for workers to organize, but I suspect it wont happen because the U.S. has probably the lowest class consciousness on the face of the planet, or very close to it. All guised under economic idealism and bourgeois mythology, such as the myth of the "job creators". Or, maybe I could be wrong and it just takes time for organization to develop, but expecting them to suddenly just stop cowtowing to their oligarch masters is probably too optimistic.
