Why isn’t Congress going without pay?

They are forcing every business to shut down, bet they are not shutting down their pay.

1/2 of them are millionaires, they probably consider their salary of $170K to be little more than petty cash.

I don't believe it was a Congressional order which shut down Florida businesses. I'm pretty sure that was Ron DeSantis...

Pretty sure they're Salaried employees. Which businesses did Congress shut down, again? Maybe ones in Metro DC, though I thought they left that kind of thing to local DC government. Ours had nothing to do with congress. We have a Republican Governor that did not want to see Covid crawling up the capital steps in our highest infected city and the Mayor as most of the mayors in the state concurred. We're opening back up again in a slow and measure way with the calling of the shots on opening mostly left to local government and good common sense. They doing it different where you live or are you in a more rampant infected area with a higher death toll?
