Personally I’d take Thursday/Friday off if it’s possible because things still happen socially on those days. If that matters to you.
To answer your question, it’s not.
The Republicans, as proxies for the 1% and Evangelicals, have been trying to break the Federal government at least since Reagan, if not longer.
