29. The disruption to programs, and the people who work on them...

Is always worse because of a shutdown. Yes, all the government employees who are affected will be paid back once this foolishness is over, but it could go on for a month like the last one in 2018-19.

For this of us who will have to work during the shutdown, it's more disruptive since we have to pick up the work that everyone else would normally do (or at least try to do what they would do). It's just a compete and total mess. And this one is 100% on the Republicans.
