I know a shutdown causes a lot of problems - for the federal workers and for those that rely on the data, etc. IMO we need to draw a line and stick to it. We had a meeting scheduled with Trump on Thursday, I believe. He canceled it. There is no give on that side and the suck up Congressional and Senate republicans will go with that. Shut it down. I have no fucks left to give.
