 Aussie workers (private or government) would strike in a fucking instant if asked to work for no pay...

Hell, they go on strike if any little thing pisses them off!
It's illegal for federal workers to strike, and a fire able offence. Maybe Trump can trick the EPA into striking so he could fire them all :{D
A rational skeptic should be able to discuss and debate anything, no matter how much they may personally disagree with that point of view. Discussing a subject is not agreeing with it, but understanding it.

it should be a hanging offence to deprive federal workers in good standing of their livelihood, ergo, impossible to end up in a shutdown, if you can't strike and can be made to work whatever the circumstances, there should be no way that you can do this and not be paid, all work deserves wages, period.

No, I think they are supposed to interrupt that with an important and unexpected public event.

How long has it been since RBG has been seen?

The rumor mill suggests he did it so that he can demonstrate fully, that he tried absolutely everything, before declaring a national emergency.

The latest polls indicate less than 40% think Trump is doing a good job.
