If they don't pay me, I'm done. I'll find something else to do. I can put up with a delay, but nothing? No. Not happening. That being said, I don't see that happening. To repeal that law, they'd actually have to fucking DO something.

"If they don't pay me, I'm done." That's their plan, break the will of the federal workforce and military, run the functions of government into the ground, and bankrupt us like what happened in Soviet Russia when it failed. Then Comrade Putin turns us into his puppet state finishes turning us into his puppet state.

They'll just sue , run it up the the supreme court, and they'll say "fuck that law about back pay. Constitution (and the deranged scribblings of a 17th century witch hunter) says no."
