I used to be a federal worker. If they told me I had to work without pay I would have gone nuts on them. No fucking way. What the American people are putting up with is complete bullshit. All federal workers should break the law and walk the fuck out. STRIKE!

I agree with you. Don't take it back. It is a form of slavery and one that trump likes.

If you are actually forced to work without pay - you might get to slavery light (e.g. imprisonment).
