This has led to people lining up for food donations, a situation described as reminiscent of economic crises from the early 20th century. Federal employees, including soldiers, are not being paid. There are also reports of air traffic controllers not showing up for work because they are not being paid, which could lead to a complete collapse of air traffic in the US.
