I was thinking about the federal workers like the ATC workers who have not had any pay for awhile. [View all]

How many are having to work multiple jobs to pay their bills, to pay for rent (mortgage), car payments, school fees, child support (for some) who are having to go to work tired, so very tired.

How much rest are these people getting?

Is this intentional?
