    Government employee here. It’ll actually be the 3rd. We work our shifts for the first 72 hrs after the shutdown and then we go home. We do get back pay for all the hours we would have worked after the budget is approved, so that’s nice. The service guys just have to keep working with no pay.

      Yeah, I’m not sure how much they’re going to have the military on their side if they cause this shutdown.
