How about their kids? Should they get sympathy? Because these people won't be able to feed them.

Government shutdowns affect far more than just the employees, and in this case those employees are literally being used as slaves. Maybe that deserves sympathy too... unless you think "idiots on power trips" deserve to be enslaved. I don't think anyone does personally.
