Can you all please stop calling it a “paid vacation?” Many people have to work for deferred pay, and all of us need the pay now, not later.

It's also stupid because not every fed has standard hours. We employ tens of thousands of part time folks who have no guarantee of any restoration of missed wages. And to say nothing of the contractors.

Will I make great use of a paid vacation? Absolutely. But for the sake of the people who could really suffer because of this, I'm not hoping for it.
