    Do you have that same attitude towards ICE agents kids?

    People lose their jobs all the time and still feed their kids. A government shutdown is a good thing.

      Yes, I do. Because people deserve to be paid. Not paying someone and forcing them to work has a name. Slavery.

      If you get hired for a job, even if it’s an immoral job, you deserve to be paid. People who work at payday loan places, people who work for TurboTax, people who work on oil rigs, people who work on factory farms and slaughterhouses all deserve to be paid and children do not deserve to suffer because politicians can’t get their shit together.

      A government shutdown is in no way a good thing just because certain government departments you personally don’t like will not pay their employees. There’s a lot of other people who are helpful that also will not be getting paid.

      Or do you think it’s a good thing to not have things like air traffic controllers and food inspectors? If so, you’re a libertarian and you will be very unhappy with Trump’s dictatorship.
