Secret Service challenge coin commemorates unpaid labor during the shutdown
Thursday January 24, 2019. 05:58 PM , from BoingBoing
The latest Secret Service challenge coin (previously) commemorates Trump's shutdown (which has nearly 1,000,000 people going without pay, and has undermined everything from air travel to the ability of poor people to eat and pay rent), bearing the legends 'Essential Personnel' and 'Don't Worry, You'll Get Backpay.' Perhaps SS agents can pay their rent by flogging the coins on Ebay, where the rarest of SS challenge coins fetch up to $500. 6,000 Secret Service employees are working without pay around the world and another 1,222 have been furloughed.
