      As much as I hate the orange bastard, he did actually pay some of the traffic controllers that worked during the shutdown a while back $10k each.

      With the caveat of needing “perfect attendance” during the shutdown, resulting in only 776 of the 20,000+ traffic controlers qualifying for it.

    Thing is: neither will their landlords, auto loan providers, utility companies, etc. Their grocery stores, gas stations, etc. sure will, tho.

    I asked the staff near me. Contractors, no pay interruption. The company is filling the gap so far.
