https://www.politico.com/news/2021/12/01/congress-government-shutdown-523601
Democrats are suddenly scrambling to avoid a possible government shutdown in less than 72 hours amid stalled talks with GOP leaders and conservatives now vowing a rebellion over the Biden administration's Covid vaccine mandate.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her deputies had planned to reach a deal on a stopgap spending bill with Republicans by Wednesday morning, allowing both chambers to quickly approve the measure and avoid a funding lapse by midnight Friday. But GOP leaders have dug in on their opposition to the Democrats plan, just as their partys far-right flank vows to use its procedural powers to trigger a brief weekend shutdown.

This. My company is reimbursed by the state, if the shutdown affects their offices that means my clients (disabled people) may not have services.

That was my initial thought too, but they've upped the idiocy and stubbornness by a factor of 10 since Covid. This could be where they say "lol fuck it" until the Dems roll over completely and give them whatever they want (which is usually how it goes but with some wins). I can see them holding out indefinitely and blaming Dems and the "covid hoax" and leveraging exactly what someone else said "plus it's Christmas! Look what these awful libdems are doing AT CHRISTMAS!!!"

Clown congress, clown country

Maybe we should pretend Republican lawmakers don't exist and just pass bills without their approval.

Like, if 50 democratic senators vote yes on infrastructure, then 100% of all senators voted yes and it passes unanimously.

And if they complain just ignore them. Like how they ignored millions of hurting Americans.

I'd be game for this if it didn't mean millions of angry rednecks going scorched Earth on the rest of the country

They absolutely are, and will fight tooth and nail to prevent them. Just like they are against big government.

So that's why they push to have the government involved in every aspect of your life and cry for shutdown at the drop of a hat.

They won't do anything meaningful. They're mostly bark and little bite, so ignoring them is the optimal strategy as well.
