I'm counting change to get by now myself. Atleast the federal workers get back paid when its over. Ill still be here with my change. Not a single complaint from me though. If these feds making 80k a year are seriously in a situation where their banks empty and the "pay or quit" notice is in the mail box its their own damn fault. Sell your spare speed boat, tell your wife she can't shop til she drops anymore and start living within your means. Boo fucking hoo.
My best friend is border patrol. He was bitching on FB about Americans thinking he can work for free... I shut his ass down quick... quit or STFU and work until your fat ass back pay check comes shortly. Not only that but his bank pays him like its normal because they know he's good for it. He will have zero delay in pay.... and he still cries... wtf...
