Kind of weird we didn't already have a thread on this.
For those of you living in countries not entirely lead by petulant man children the good ole' You, Ess of Eh's Federal Government has been in a state of partial shutdown for over 11 days.
I don't know if this is a thing can or does ever happen in other countries like is like our and I'm just going to assume this is another thing all your foreigners look at us and rightfully think we're crazy for but this is like the 15th shutdown in the last 40 years or so. They are just this thing that can happen because of a weird quirk in how our budgeting process works. They general only last a few hours, days. The longest was 21 days and people are saying this one might go on a while.
The exact real world affects of these always vary slightly because usually Congress will manage to pass a couple of Emergency Funding Bills in order to keep certain things going.
Right now some Federal workers have been furloughed without pay, some are working but with no pay and some are getting paid via emergency funding or other means. National Parks are shut down... as much as you can shutdown "the outside." Most government websites are no longer being updated. NASA's pretty much shutdown outside of mission essential work.
That's actually one of the weirdest things is how hard it is to get a straight answer on what the government is or isn't doing during the shutdown.
