Opm holds 90 days in reserve, appropriations usually issues another 90 if needed, add another 90 days by zero interest loan and you have pay for approximately 270 days.

I called it slavery a couple of comments ago. Am I supposed to use the word in every comment?
It feels like you’re just trolling now. Especially that last part.
