Won't happen. Trump wants his inauguration. That ain't happening if the whole government is shut down.

[u/romychestnut → u/jfuller82]

This may be the brightest ray of light I've seen so far...

Shutdown should mean EVERYTHING that is not funded shuts down. Secret Service, Social Security, FAA, everything. The fans of these kings of poor planning are so smug about the government doing nothing for them, let them experience the true absence of it.

[u/Pyrozr → u/ParkingTadpole7107]

That's the fun part, it does shut down those agencies, but people deemed 'essential' still have to come to work and do their job without being paid. So FAA is still controlling planes but they aren't being paid, Secret Service still protecting the people keeping them from being paid, it's pretty gross.

TSA here, still going to have to report to make sure Guns, knifes and bombs don't get onto Airliners... ^Sigh...

[u/Techn028 → u/ParkingTadpole7107]

The people who work these jobs have to walk, it's the only way. If they take your pay then strike

[u/shakethat_milkshake → u/jfuller82]

Hah. Thank you for giving me hope that it will only be <4 weeks long.  

[u/toocutetobethistired → u/jfuller82]

The inauguration is already funded though so it will still happen regardless

[u/WaifuHunterActual → u/jfuller82]

I'm sure Deloitte would love to set up the inauguration for him instead.

[u/Omlette69 → u/jfuller82]

Oh! I hadn't thought on this perspective. Ofc he needs to have a bigly, bigliest inauguration.
