Again and again I am trying to understand what this application was created for but I am not able to put together this complicated puzzle. It appears that there is an application that will inform you about all the juicy facts concerning the federal government shut down. It pulls in news and pulls up the U.S. Office of Personnel Management's Operating Status and Schedules page, telling federal employees whether they have to report to work. Also, the principle of this application is pretty ridiculous as well, as far as it will cost you 99 cents (I know, not that much) while the same info can be opened in the browser for free. Call me an idiot but what for should I pay more if I can pay nothing? And the last one: the whole concept of shutting down the government looks like a big joke from comedy central and my tongue itches to say ?grow up?!
