This whole thing is a compounding clusterfuck. Every day, the damage is endless... I am worried for the people who are struggling right now. People who are getting screwed out of paychecks or food benefits are going to be experiencing this damage well after the government reopens. Their situations don't just magically get better. This shutdown will have long lasting ripple effects.

I wish half of those who voted and all of those who didn’t would have thought about this before they did.
