Wasn’t that a “partial shutdown”? Never mind the public-alienating orders from the top to all the White House agencies telling them to shut open-air monuments contrary to the law.
Sure. Only 17% of federal government functions were "shut down" - - you know, the "non-essential" functions. And all those "non-essential" government employees knew it was a paid vacation for them anyway. I've already seen a few stories of those "non-essential" employees laughing at their "essential" counterparts who had to keep working, and then even complaining that the "shutdown" ended too quickly - - they wanted more paid vacation.
