The shutdown is Republicans fault, in fact, they're stupid ugly people that are villains in videogames.

Newsflash:
Every government shut down, from 1995 on, has been due to Democrat unwillingness to compromise on spending.
EVERY SINGLE ONE.
The difference now is, the media relations arm of the Democrat part, also known as news media, does not have a lock on information dissemination, and people can see, now, what is really going on.
And what did we learn from each and every closure? All it caused was have a paid vacation for most employees and stopped people from going to the national parks. It really can stop running for the rest of Trump’s presidency and no one would honestly see much of a difference (it might freeze needing to pay taxes but that’s a plus.)
While this is largely correct, I think it's wise to temper expectations. Lots of skeleton crews are stilling going into the office throughout the shut down and I'm sure there's plenty of shit that if it fully ground to a halt for a full year would eventually see effects further on down the line. Think along the lines of emergency/disaster preparedness and the logistics around that. Sure we can respond to the next disaster because we've already got a stockpile of resources and a gameplan, but the one after that when no one's been working the warehouse to restock or the office to plan how to coordinate communications and personnel? Maybe that one doesn't go so well. Stuff like that that wouldn't see an immediate effect but would be important when the consequences finally did materialize.
But again, you can pretty freely cut anyone who works on powerpoint slides without worrying.
IRS is mostly open and unaffected by the shutdown.
Can’t just let a man have some hope in these dire times…
There is no hope, only the distant honking of clown cars...
