      I’m sure they are, it’s those guys who do unimportant work, like making sure the forests aren’t going up in flames and consuming the nation, or helping out people who are about to die from starvation, exposure etc, those are the useless ones who don’t get paid.

      It’s a fucked up system.

      The way it works is some people work regardless, like the military or ATC for example. Idk if ICE falls into a similar category but it wouldn’t surprise me.

      Anyone still working won’t get paid right now but when the politicians are done with their games and the government is reactivated they’ll get back pay…eventually.

        with interest?

        because that’s what all your backed due payments are going to have.
