Servicemen won't get paid but still have to show up. That's pretty shitty


You are wrong. Armed forces personnel still get paid.

Almost all of the national parks are still open.

Many Federal offices still open. Only non essential services closed. can't tell you what closed, but not that many, other than a few contracted services. Most federal employees will continue to get their full pay.

This is politics. Don't believe everything you read on the internet or see on TV. Much fake news out there.

"Non essential" should permanently be closed

No sir...you are dead wrong. I've already had this argument today.

quote:

Only once Congress acts. According to the Department of Defense, the military, along with "essential" civilians, will not be paid until funds are appropriated. Troops will continue to earn their paychecks but won't receive them unless and until a new spending bill that includes backpay is passed.

No, you are wrong.

I lived it before, definitely did not get paid.
