US government "shutdown" enters its 24th day, over 500,000 federal employees fail to receive salaries

Jinse Finance reported that on October 24 local time, as the U.S. government shutdown entered its 24th day, more than 500,000 federal employees failed to receive their full paychecks on time this week. The Senate is currently in recess, and the shutdown is expected to continue until next Monday. Due to significant differences between the Republican and Democratic parties on core issues such as healthcare-related welfare spending, the Senate failed to pass a new temporary funding bill before the end of the last fiscal year on September 30, resulting in the federal government running out of funds to maintain normal operations and entering a "shutdown" starting October 1.
