Break the law? They aren’t slaves. Fuck the law.

Nobody is going to jail for quitting their job.

Quitting and striking are different. Sure you could quit, but then when the shutdown ends, you won't have a job at all.

I'm sure some people may consider that option, but others may be hoping to ride it out. Remember, some people want to stay in a federal job due to retirement plans, etc. so they are thinking beyond the short term effects.
