"Trump Literally Did Not Understand What a Shutdown Would Do"
"A 30-day shutdown is not ten times as damaging as a three-day shutdown. It is probably 100 times as damaging."
"The impending reality of millions of Americans going hungry and homeless is just one aspect of the horrors that await us. At some point, the shutdown will impinge upon Trump’s C-suite constituency. Employees of the Transportation Security Administration have had to work without pay, but that cannot continue indefinitely. Already, employees at some airports have begun staging sick-outs. At some point, air travel will grind to a halt, and with it large segments of the economy. By next month, tax refunds will be in jeopardy."
