Federal Prison workers and guards are affected.

And just how many meat processors will remain open if they have to supply meat that hasn’t had an inspection and could leave them liable if tainted meat gets through?

Just how long can someone go without getting a paycheck before they have to find other work?

They will be declared essential workers. And they will work, or forever give up any hope of a Federal job and pension.

I really question the accuracy of the article you provided, as of the date published ALL Fed workers had gone “nearly two weeks” since being last paid.

They’re paid every 15 days.

One of the rarest sights in America is a USDA meat inspector. It’s just not done.

Suppliers conduct their won inspections in accordance with an approved and validated process/personnel and stamp USDA on the carcass.

Most Federal workers could go a couple of months, or more, without a paycheck. ESPECIALLY when they know if they leave/quit, they have given up the juiciest job they ever had or ever will have.

Are you trying to tell us that every single meat processor has every single piece of meat that they sell inspected?

well, there must be tens of million of meat inspectors at the “FDA” then.
