National Parks all close (Park Ranger are non essential and they literally lock the gates), in DC all the Monuments are on Fed land so they will literally put up fencing around them to “close” them, FEMA is going to have a hell of an issue to Noeth Carolina, Georgia, etc there recovery will stall out.

For Trump his inauguration becomes an issue as the National Mall in DC will close and all the people to coordinate the whole thing are furloughed.

With TSA, Air Traffic Control, Border Patrol they start working for free which is ya know bad… Congress has to go back to give them backpay its not automatic. When they do this everytime they have also gone back and given backpay to everyone that was furloughed and just got to sit around. Which is a terrible move I mean paying people to do nothing is stupid.

I can list more if you want but those are th first that come to mind.

So it's fairly scattershot. There isn't an easy and clear distinction that would make sense to lay people?

I think backpay is automatic, though. I recall there being a bill a few years ago about that.

Solo backpay is only automatic for specific departments and agencies like Congressional Staff. Unions might have other added but its not very widespread. The Department of Education for example will likely be highly furloughed because they would have a hard time justifying them as essential. The Department of Energy is the same with only the nuclear programs likely being exempt

Some people give me hella shit for what I do but at the end of the day I'm just trying to inform people. If you don't know where to look a lot of this can get hard to find but I've learned and I want people to be able to see and make their own decisions!
