When there is a major weather event like the snow storms in the Northeast, federal government offices close. Yet, small business owners stay open. They find a way to get to their shops because they depend upon the income. In other words, they have some skin in the game - making a living.
Small businesses, and some large ones, have to work and therefore they face whatever hardships necessary to keep the wheels turning. But not government. Let me clarify that cities keep city services operating as best they can to protect the citizens.
Does this mean that federal offices are not really that important. Yes. Let’s see a show of hands that are surprised. How many times has congress shut down the government and it went out of business? Seems to reason that we really don’t need as much government as they would have you believe.
I hope you did noticed in all the reports about the weather shutting down operations that the soldiers at the tomb of the unknown soldier don’t call off their service. Nor do the soldiers in the field.
It’s called duty and honor.
