      It doesn’t stop them saying it. It stops it from being credible. Ever other GOP and Democratic President has always paid, even in trump’s first term during that shutdown. Now suddenly they can’t? If you mess with a worker’s pay you have highly reactive results.

        I’ve seen a lot of YouTube videos that have titles like “boss didn’t pay man for two weeks then THIS happened “

        It’s normally a video of a dude fucking wrecking the place with a tank made out of a forklift or something.
