guys….. I think this is crazy but it's also not too crazy to actually happen.
Government shutdown happening?
let it burn
Very few people understand just how fragile modern infrastructure is and how easily it can be disrupted. Trump's people are stupid enough to allow this kind of thing to happen.
It would be great, but I don't think it will come that way.
Before the situation escalates, there will be a word of power to whom the DNC, the GOP and Trump listens.
They're already there though, no company wants the government shutdown because it means the courts are closed and they can't sue people for doing things like piracy. But Democrats can't cave in because the anti-Trump rhetoric is such that they cannot afford any concessions over a wall (as stupid as it is) and Republicans can't cave because the anti-immigrant rhetoric is such that they can't afford any concessions over a wall either.
Nobody can plausibly win this except Trump and the military itself.
Declassified CIA documents revealed that they were spreading a saboteur's manual in Nicaragua against the leftist regime during the Cold War and of course targeting freight was crucial.
What would happen if a faction of Democrats and Republicans sidestepped "muh wall" by offering the (not only cheaper but far more effective) compromise of mandatory eVerify for all jobs public or private, with greatly increased penalties on both employers and customers caught using illegal labor?
...
Does the government shutdown has any impact at all in a state that supports small government?
I can assume that the military (that one thing, that keeps the US superior) is secured from petty politics.
Other than that it seems to have zero impacts on their markets.
Trump is already losing by continuing this. You think the people affected are just going to forget?
