“The US armed forces are still occupying Afghanistan and staging abductions in Libya and Somalia. The FBI and IRS are still kidnapping alleged entrepreneurs and stealing their stuff. The Capitol Police are still gunning down unarmed mothers who make wrong turns in Washington, DC. I beg to differ with my comrades, though. Yes, the ‘shutdown’ is weak tea — only 17% of the federal government, much of it in the ‘social safety net’ areas that are likely to produce exactly the ‘please, please, please end the shutdown’ backlash the politicians want, and much of it already crumbling over creative interpretations of the law. Still, it’s a good start.”
