Astropilot:
I saw in CNN that we just defunded Obamacare to avoid this shut down. Anyway, yeah good job US government.

And Code the last time it happened was in like 1995 lol.

I was not talking about a shutdown itself. I was talking about getting close to the deadline to a shutdown, where partisan conflict leads to dilly-dallying until the last minute where a quick compromise is hacked out.
Tezuni:
Keep in mind this is a partial and temporary government shutdown, it's not like everything is shutting down at once.
Tiger Guy:
I like how "Government Shutdown" implies 'HOLY FUCKING SHIT EVERYTHING IS DOWN IT'S HAPPENING", but really is just select government sects being halted and employees not working.

Social security and unemployment welfare still works
Defense is still here, their pay is just postponed.
