Hope you federal workers have gained enough clarity not to vote for trump again in 2020 so you wont have another shutdown.

There are close to 1 million fellow Americans suffering at the hands of realDonaldTrump and senatemajldr The rest of America is helping those who are directly & indirectly being victimized. Now who is the enemy of the People?

How about murdered Americans?

Good move if this is true.

Don't we give Federal workers enough? I mean, average salaries at or around $100k, Cadillac health insurance and retirement benefits that go above and beyond of even the best private sector offerings, unprecedented job security (layoffs are unheard of & hard to get fired).

Good for them. Wise decision.

That’s great, but how are going to prevent this in the future?

Every bill I went to pay over past 2 weeks had a large header saying they were there to help workers. Only other time I see that is natural disasters. I will definitely give my business to those that help and avoid others that don’t

SO SAD THAT MAINSTREAM MEDIA IS PUSHING NOT TO BUILD THE WALL.THEY MADE IT ABOUT TRUMP NOT ABOUT US. MEDIA DESTROYED OUR COUNTRY. IT SHOULDN'T BE ABOUT TRUMP BUT OUR SAFETY. IT SHOULDN'T BE ABOUT TRUMP BUT OUR LIVES TO BE BETTER NOMORE911 OURSAFETYMATTER USFIRST

This is a prime example 'America is great'

Have heard many wonderful stories of companies and agencies stepping up to help anyone in dire straights due to shutdown. It's what truly makes this country great

Good on them! Gives people time to call their Congresspeople and tell them to end the government shutdown.

How nice of them, after they plundered the treasury with the historic tax cuts for corporations and top-earning individuals. On the other hand, they show more empathy than Republican legislators.

If the American people and companies can work together to make America great and help each other out, why can’t congress work together?

Wish our elected officials would “step up” and help furloughed employees by negotiate to end the shutdown. FYI it’s their job.

That is nice BUT during the Bush financial crisis companies were happy to foreclosure, charge late fees, call in loans, change terms etc until Obama stepped in... Trump they are running scared but the backlash will be significant

A wall is a immorality remember!! Except in San Diego and Texas and Arizona and all around the country WITHIN OUR BORDERS!! YOU GUYS ARE A BUNCH OF CLOWNS!

I wonder if FOX Media is helping those that they have been in the main reason of the trump/FOX news Shutdown?

As they should!! Them and their Democrat open border party are the ones to blame for having next to ZERO BORDER SECURITY!! GOOD JOB SCHMUCKS!!

Now those are Americans helping Americans.❤️

Wish utilities PhoneCo GasStations Rent Mortgage MedicalCare would do that for all job seekers that were/are seeking jobs. Also for PermDisabled living in poverty SingleParents unemployed

How many people lose their jobs when the democrats fuck over private business with insane taxes and regulations.

Well duh 🙄

Open your eyes, to what is happening in our ' COUNTRY'.....

Good. Problem solved. Keep it shut down.

Awesome.

It took the threats of Mr. trump for Americans and businesses like in the older days to start acting like Americans supporting the community . That is the fabric of our society, But lesson learnt that the government is not always the provider. Its the people who make America work

This is a moment for companies to step forward and support their customers - the good publicity is priceless.

Proof capitalism works

Companies work with bill-paying customers and are well-aware furloughed workers will receive backpay. Democrats need to stop misleading public that this is a crisis and negotiate an agreement with Republicans. Border security is not a moral issue. Why no compromise?

My company just received a federal worker we hired him he starts Monday!!!! If you look for a job in America theres a job!!! BuildOurWall

Another way to spin this is 'enablers' - allowing Trump to advance his privatization of government.

What about landlords and/or banks who hold mortgages...? Everything else is moot if there's no roof over your head...and the GOP really doesn't get that people don't have money to ride things out for ever a matter of weeks.

Civility..go figure

Why don’t they just call their congressmen and tell them to protect American citizens not foreigners and fund the wall they always voted for

You know realDonaldTrump will try to take credit for this, of course.

At last...some decency and compassion has been employed

Stop this absurd shutdown! ImpeachTheMF

And how’s that gonna help? They will have to pay for these bills eventually. This TrumpShutdown must end immediately!
