Probably because essential employees have to work without pay... so you wouldn’t notice a difference.

Since you are so uneffected why don’t you donate some of your paycheck to the 42,000 coast guard members not getting paid but working or the 1,000 of agents in DOJ doing the same.

A dozen ignorant threads a day on this board saying the same thing.

Why don't you? You're the one whining about it on a message board. Put your money where you mouth is chief.

We don't need the Coast Guard. The Navy can do that job.

Yep. After responding to a half dozen threads this week I hoped more would be enlighten.

Alas, they continue to pop up like damn weeds.

Which proves his point. If the shutdown drags on for 1-2 months without our lives being negatively impacted by the non-essential personnel not working, then we might not need them at all.

So the Coast Guard is the rally cry?

My father and my uncle were career Coast Guard, and this is the most attention I've ever seen given to the USCG, EVER.
