What I don't like about shutdowns is that when the government reopens the employees end up getting paid for all the time they didn't work. So for most it's no big deal they can live off savings or credit cards for a couple weeks at most, or at least they should be able to.
For government workers, sure. But people who depend on those services, like social security offices and stuff like that, it's bad.
I think this is lose/lose for me. I 100% know that Donald Trump is running a fascist regime. I am stunned that Americans think this is business as usual. Our representative democracy is dead. So, on one hand, I am fine with shutting down the government, because it's a government that is weaponized against its own people. However, I'm pretty sure he's just going to use it as an excuse to fire anyone in the various levels that he thinks is not someone who follows him.
We are right and truly fucked in America and half of us are cheering it on. I never thought I'd see the day.
