QwQ Can congress just open back up so we don't spiral back into a recession worse than when the recession originally started...? And so I don't lose my friggin' MMO.
The "shutdown" isn't even the half of it. The shutdown is just a bunch of incompetent politicians crying because they can't get their way. Each side is acting like schoolyard children where they both want it their way, and their way only. Admittedly the conservative side is giving more than the liberal side though. Even an article about a New York Times journalist said yesterday [this is the] “most closed, control-freak administration I’ve ever covered”
The shutdown is all a show to make the opposite parties look bad. It's all political posturing at its best. Even a national park ranger in Washington said “We’ve been told to make life as difficult for people as we can" It's all one giant game to them at the expense of your average citizen.
I don't want this to turn into anymore of a political discussion though, so I won't elaborate on that further. If you or anyone else is interested to understand more you can pm me and I'll fill you in as best as I can.
Edit- My point with all that was to say that the economy is more than just a US government "shutdown". It goes Way beyond even the US, though we are certainly a big part of it as the dollar is currently the world reserve currency and nearly all currency trades use the dollar as the standard of trade value (BRICKS nations want to push the US out of power though, and they're succeeding, but it won't happen before a full on global crash, which will most likely be within the next year according to top economists and hedge fund managers [basically big Wall Street players]).
This game is like c0ckroach.
(I remembered someone said this before)
I think that was xellie who said that before. Not sure if anyone said that before her, but she was the first one I saw say it a number of years ago.
