      That’s my question, too. How does a shutdown suddenly give the reavers more power to destroy? I mean, they’re already tanking everything.

      • Reading about the funding bill, it also seems to include dismantling of some checks and balances.
        They’re probably fucked either way, I just don’t know enough to tell which is worse.
        Seeing as both Bernie, AOC and federal workers’ unions agree to vote no on that one, they’re probably on to something.
        Idk, I don’t live in a failed state

        I think they are gearing that shutdown will shut down the courts too (a branch that supposed to be co-equal)

      People who can afford not to get their paychecks anymore can still show up for work, the President, the Treasury, and Military will be operating at full capacity, but federal workers will no longer receive payment and will likely be forced to quit and congress might remain in recess for a long time.
