The Big Beautiful 2025 US Government Shutdown

[Abbot Mythos]

What I find peculiar about this particular government shutdown is how little coverage it's received in the news media to date. Perhaps my perception of the situation is biased, or flawed, but I don't think so.

In any case, I found this article be be of interest:     Opinion | This key group will end the government shutdown

As per author Robert Reich:

"I don't have a crystal ball, but I have a good idea how this shutdown ends. Trump and Republicans will cave (he won't admit he's caving, of course, but he will cave).

Here's why: Air traffic controllers.

Like other federal workers, the controllers aren't being paid now (they'll get back-pay when the shutdown ends). But unlike most other federal workers, their workloads and stress loads have been soaring."

And so, we shall have to wait and see.
