We are more than a month into a federal government shutdown. There are strong feelings (obviously) about a border wall and who will be paying for it. Federal workers are missing their second paycheck, heading to food pantries and calling in sick to jobs that want them to do the work now for a paycheck later. With those headlines, I thought I knew what I would read when I got an email this week that pronounced: “The most controversial topic so far this year”
With some delight, I read that, according to the sender of the email, the most controversial topic so far this year was not a wall or a shutdown.
