#nothing changed

43-day shutdown did nothing. All those Chicken Little's screaming the sky was going to fall were wrong. No starving people, no bodies piled up in the streets. Congress still kept getting rich, and you stayed subservient quiet, except to cry about the KING. The KING didn't shut it all down, our elected orifices did. Literally nothing changed. You and I are still struggling, bills will still be paid or not, and Congress will still wale up rich. Nothing is new under the sun. But, something most missed through all their hand wringing, we as a Nation, went on just fine without the Government running at 100% money wasting staffing. Let that sink in.

gazing out over a vast field of monster slugs and slowly reaching for my salt blade. somewhere on the other side of the world a wizard drops his big gulp and screams, alarming everyone in the tavern. i stay my hand.
