Things didn’t end well for the last guy…
That’s not how this works.
Shutdown doesn’t mean no pay, it means no check issued for non essentials. You get furloughed and don’t work unless you choose to, everyone that is expected to work is covered by supplemental budget.
David Pekoske, the head of the TSA, tweeted that 95% of TSA employees are classified as essential workers and will work without pay in the event of a shutdown. Air traffic controllers are also considered essential employees and would be asked to work without pay.
You might want to check before you make these declarations. I do.
Federal employees would receive backpay after the shutdown ends.
Slaves have to work bud, employees choose to. You could just say your hyperbole is a bit much rather then insist gainfully employed people are actual slaves anymore than any of the test of us wage slaves.

Also if you read up there are programs specially for this because it’s so absurd and common. https://www.ussfcu.org/federal-government-shutdown-assistance.html
USAA and Navy Federal offer the same zero interest loans as well.
They get paid, I’m not sure your intention with this random hyperbolic doomsaying is but it’s unproductive and misleading at best.
Sure. “We’ll pay you eventually, double swearsies, but you are required to work until then” totally isn’t slavery.
