Things didn’t end well for the last guy…
They all get paid, they just might not be paid on time which is not in fact slavery.
That would be the point in guessing or better yet finding out on your own that they in fact did get paid because not paying people is fraud. Some agencies used their budget surplus to keep paying employees others like the TSA who are poorly managed so far as I’m aware have not.
If that’s your decision, it’s not one I would make though.
Everything you could really want to know about how shutdown pay works is in this PDF by the OPM.
No, I’m trying to get you to accept calling inconvenience slavery is a bit too far.
Not getting paid on time when you live paycheck-to-paycheck is not “inconvenience.” You must live quite the privileged life to think so.

By needling me for not mentioning it in the last two comments? Try in a different and better way.
I hate to tell you, that’s an inconvenience not literal slavery.
You must live a privileged life to compare forced servitude and plays at genetic inferiority to not getting paid.
Yes.
Try in a different and better way.

Check yourself, no one is selling their children nor themselves down river. Like how is the fact it is objectively offensive to compare the two not altogether glaring to you?
Again, living paycheck-to-paycheck and then not getting paid is not an inconvenience. How do you not know that?
It’s a way to get your house foreclosed on and a way to have to decide between electricity and food.
Have you really never been in that sort of financial situation?
