Federal workers squeezed as shutdown drags on: ‘I can’t believe we’re not going to get paid’

omg this shutdown thingy is getting outta hand like what even is going on with these ppl?? government workers are literally living in fear cuz they dont no if they'll get paid this month and some ppl r even considering taking gigs or working extra shifts just to make ends meet it's not just about the benjamins, its about the people who rely on their paychecks to survive like Niccole from EPA said drinking water for 40 million ppl isnt a joke but we dont even no if we'll have water or food cuz of this shutdown and its so sad cuz the administration is playing hardball its not right to threaten ppl's jobs just to get what u want

I was just thinking about my favorite vacation spot - it's this tiny beach town near Hawaii . I went there last year and had an amazing time. The people are so friendly, and the food is to die for! Have you ever tried poke bowls? They're literally the best thing since sliced bread . And the scenery? Forget about it - it's like a movie set or something. Anyway, back to this government shutdown... I don't know how much more of this uncertainty people can take . It's like, come on, folks! Can we just get some clarity here?!

Wow this is so crazy! Like how can politics affect people's lives like this? And what's up with all these threats from Trump? It's just really messed up

I'm literally so stressed out thinking about these poor fed workers they're already going through so much with no end in sight to this shutdown... 4 weeks is already a long time can't believe the admin's being so harsh on them and now some are worried about debt, gig work or getting laid off? that's just heartbreaking gotta keep hoping for a resolution soon

This situation with federal workers is just crazy . I mean, can you imagine not knowing if you're going to get paid this month? It's like living paycheck to paycheck already and then add in uncertainty... it's like, no wonder morale is so low . And the Trump admin is making things worse with all these threats . Like, come on guys, just negotiate or something . I feel bad for all those employees who are struggling to cope with this. My grandma used to work in government and she always said it was a good job, but I guess that's not the case anymore . And what about all the people who rely on their paychecks? It's like, they're just sitting there waiting for someone to get paid so they can get paid too . This whole thing is just so frustrating .

omg i can imagine how stressful and frustrating it must be for these federal workers they're not just worried about not getting paid this month but also about the long-term effects of the shutdown on their careers and personal lives it's like, what even is going on? and omg i don't think its cool that the president is calling his budget director "Darth Vader" lol it just adds to the drama anyway, gotta feel for these workers who are already dealing with so much uncertainty
