Rememeber this. The people you're trying to step on, we're everyone you depend on. We're the people who do your laundry and cook your food and serve your dinner. We make your bed. We guard you while you're asleep. We drive the ambulances. We direct your call. We are cooks and taxi drivers and we know everything about you. We process your insurance claims and credit card charges. We control every part of your life.
We are the middle children of history, raised by television to believe that someday we'll be millionaires and movie stars and rock stars, but we won't. And we're just learning this fact. So don't fuck with us.

People need their pay now, not whenever the hell Republicans decide to stop being assholes.

Isn't that why those dumbass Republican's hate those shifty kids and lazy old people getting financial assistance for food and medical care? Maybe they shouldn't have let the government get shutdown and paid everyone to actually work. Idiots. I bet they will fail to see the irony in what they did.
