...I am unsure why this happened...

Maybe someone could tell me why there is a need to approve a budget thingy in the first place...

However... for all those affected directly and indirectly...

Tell us how you plan to spend your "time off"...

PS. I would've placed this in Dumpster Fire but I'm genuinely interested in stuff...

Now is the time for the Trump card to be played!

Trump's personal wealth will fund the budget.

I just got back to the states, but the outproessing I need to do requires a lot of contractors and civilian employees. Hopefully I'll nit be delayed so I can go home and surprise my family.

Happens all the time. It's just more theatre in the world of politics.

does this mean Trump will become a majority shareholder in the country "United States of America"? (like if it was a corporation)

Yeah what does a shutdown even mean? Life goes on. The only thing we hear about are national parks closing and soldiers not getting paid (which is BS anyway).

I feel bad for people who have made their once-in-a-lifetime trip to Yellowstone or the Grand Canyon and get told it's closed.

This is really, really shameful anyway.

I'm a state employee rather than federal, so unfortunately I still have to go to work. Man, I'd love a good furlough.
