President Musk and Trump really care about America and Americans. Not.

When's the last year there wasn't a threat of a shutdown? Just seems par for the course at this point. Which is Fing stupid but hey that's where we are.

I wonder who the president was during the longest shutdown ever.

One of the really cool features of American Citizen v20.24 is that they have a long term memory that lasts no more than 46 minutes before being overwritten by their X curated timeline.

In terms of the gov't shutdown, the main near-term impact is the risk of defaulting. If the US ever defaulted it would be catastrophic for the economy. 

For most people's lives, the government is a lot like insurance. You pay for it and don't get much ROI day to day. And if it "went away" for a bit you'd be fine. But when you absolutely need it you're glad it's there. Longer term, the implications of the troops not getting paid, schools, police, roads, infrastructure, justice system, etc. not being there get worse and worse.
