[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To answer the original question talk to folks in the midwest. Not the farmers. Outside of the beltway very few know the government is shut down. 
I grew up in fly over country, you know- the area that choose the president. Yea- folks there are askkmhbof its still shut down, because the don’t know/don’t care. The SOTU is a nothingburger to many of them. The general response was that they were not going to watch it anyway.
Cancelled flights & speeches just do not resonate outside the beltway. [/quote]

Interesting. My furloughed federal employee relatives in flyover country are very well aware of the shutdown as is their community. They are struggling and heading to food banks - these are not rich people.

My husband’s company is headquartered I’m flyover country and is feeling the sting of the shutdown because they execute contracts for the government that have been stopped - over 1000 people in that company have jobs on the line.

Plenty of people in flyover country care and are getting hurt by this shutdown. It’s a disgrace. All for Trump’s useless vanity project. [/quote]

The shutdown may have started about the wAll but now once the GOP realized how trump wont budge b/c he narcissist they jumped all in. This is a GOP wet dream, destroy Gov. sell off public lands and privatize the crap out of what’s left.[/quote]
