It's amazing to me that people put up with this. Everyone goes on with their daily lives with a kind of ho-hum attitude, like a government shutdown is no big deal.

Of course if people started protesting again I'm sure Obama would call out the goon squads and the drones, just to keep us all in line like good little robots. Well, now I've done it. I'll probably be put in a list somewhere.
