I don't mean to be rude, but this thread is dense. On many levels. For starters, it's only 830 in the morning in some parts of the Country.
Continuing on, much of the impact will be in people not collecting a paycheck. Is today pay day? Probably not. Dense, dense, dense.
Do the deaths start later then?? Do the morlocks come and start hunting the helpless tomorrow??
I have been thru the 'shutdowns' before as an enlisted soldier... I got my pay eventually.. it will be the same way this time.. nothing essential is lost, employees will still get paid, and the government will continue to waste money in areas it has no business in
