[b]At this point it is mostly open [/b]- they just aren’t paying the people they are recalling to work and of course they are making them work without support staff. Agency after agency has been asked to recall workers in response to pressure from lobbyists and in the interest of minimizinged  the pain to people who might vote. 
Agencies without powerful/ wealthy allies (EPA, Smithsonian, regulatory agencies) are likely to stay closed for as long as the shutdown continues. So for example, the IRS has recalled 46,000 workers to help process refunds but the workers who scrutinize dodgy returns are still furloughed

Nope, millions of people are adversely affected--for absolutely no reason--and the shutdown has to end before any negotiations with maniac Cheeto take place.[/quote]
