# 9. Celebrate! Seriously, this is #9 on the list. Here's what they said, "Don't come to work if you're a federal employee. You're on furlough. (Offer not valid for workers in 'critical services,' such as air traffic controllers, hazardous waste handlers and food inspectors.) Do take some time to celebrate. In previous shutdowns, everyone who stayed home was paid retroactively after peace returned to Washington". So, the shutdown is a good thing because millions of federal government employees get a free vacation that will be paid by Americans who will be paying for them to do nothing.
