I would be surprised if the government didn't shut down.
It's the only way to find out what services people didn't know they were missing.
Those are the ones Elon will say " see, no one noticed you were closed. Goodbye "

And, maybe it's time for this to happen now so Trump's supporters understand they were used like tools.
I don't wish this anyone, however maybe the sooner people begin to understand how we were sold out to Billionaires, without one ounce of compassion for the regular person... the better?!
(Then you can see that they might actually think they are saving the world...)
As is Thanos 😱😅
And ignore the people in meetings to discuss the time of a meeting.
SUCH SHORT MEMORIES!!

(giving Elon top billing will make DJT crazy)
The wake-up call will be obvious when they try to travel.

Sadly...
They think that the moment trump is inaugurated that he created the economy they will enjoy. It will be Biden's. trump did the same thing with Obama's economy.
Very short sighted understanding of how things work.
It’s ludicrous
Everything comes to a screeching halt. No passport processing, no income tax return processing, no FAFSA processing. No new services.
Basically anything that the government does, stops.
Military Service members won’t get paid, TSA security personnel won’t get paid, VA healthcare providers and staff won’t get paid, Air Traffic Controllers won’t get paid.
All happening over the Holidays!
Happy Holidays folks 🎄
I remember.
They never knew they needed it till 1929.
That water pump I got in the garage also seems pointless when it’s sunny out

Now don't blame trump for being trump.
Choosing between trump and Kamala was a no brainer...
Everyone thinks they need to be polite about how they talk about Elon because he's the world's richest man.
Fuck that, he's a dipshit.
time. The Russians must of made him an offer he couldn’t refuse when he was over there. I bet back then he had no idea the power he would yield today.
This happened the last shutdown. Pathetic.
When the water gradually gets full of sludge or oil spills because the water is dirtier and dirtier as there's no check on suppliers or in forests, no services to rescue you or hospitals to take you.
This is how stupid they really are.
This is all about blaming Dems and fElon "saving the country" in January.
Same old same old🤷
That is not the job of essential employees.
What’s missed by the average person in this country doesn't even register as a multimillionaire or billionaire.

The bulldozers and dump trucks cleaning up after the hurricane and building/fixing roads and bridges... The list goes on and on and doesn't even touch the top 100 contractors in aviation, medicine, technology.
At some point the 535 members of Congress in the House and Senate need a serious REMINDER of why they were HIRED via the electoral process and what OUR priorities are
I was lucky and considered “essential” during one of these shutdowns, so I only lost 8 hours a pay period. I never got that back.
Others weren’t so lucky and they lost more hours than me.
"As everyone knows I have a very powerful
“
“If we don’t get a fair deal from Congress, the government will shut down on Feb 15 again.”
Pressure from MAGA and a budding air travel meltdown, Trump yielded. Congress never included NO NEW BORDER WALL FUNDING.
I only heard of you by reputation since your entry in the pharmeceutical world.
How many of your fellow billionaires are in your camp and not in Trumps?
Thanks for listening to this TED talk…
JD-who has little business experience.
WTF 🇺🇸
He’s an addict and his extreme addiction is destroying him.
The only difference is he’s not broke and homeless.
- Actually wanted it, worked for it, prevented people from stopping it
- Tried to stop it and failed
- Literally did not give a shit what happened
people to be tried as by military tribunals, the MAGA mob are totally on board with a government shutdown.
The fact that there have been such prominent public expressions of advocacy for shutdown "musk being prominent" may perhaps change the equation a bit. Maybe.
They take Trump soundbites, posts, as gospel and never look any deeper

That's a clear way over the holidays for people to see the impact of a shutdown
The stupidity of those on the left trying to prevent it - let it shut and let people see the TRUE impact of a Trump/Musk oligarchy
Are the ones with the biggest boats.
~me.
The downside is occasionally, these systems operate temporally and might only be noticed on the last day of every quarter. At which point, you've now just disrupted the business for a week recovering
They train for our safety. But now they'll be sitting around doing nothing until a proven group of failures gets their shit together
I like you Mark, but a govt shutdown would cripple me and eventually kill me if not resolved asap.
Remember, I like Mark, but a shutdown would be very bad.

We are retired and extremely concerned about the incoming authoritarian fascist regime.
P.L. 116-1- It requires that employees, furloughed and excepted, be paid at their standard rates of pay at the “earliest date possible after the lapse in appropriations ends, regardless of scheduled pay dates.”
This is not how things work. Stop normalizing Musk's behavior. It is anti-democratic.
