Government Shutdown Side Hustle

During the recent government shutdown, an IRS attorney named Isaac launched a small business called Shysterdogs to stay productive while federal operations were paused.

Isaac purchased a food stand, obtained the required city permits, and began selling hot dogs locally. According to him, the idea came simply because he “had to do something all day.”

Commuters and cyclists in the area have noticed the new stand, which has quickly become a community stop. Isaac continues to manage the operation while waiting for government functions to fully resume.

You can follow his venture on Instagram at @shysterdogs.
