...What a bunch of cunts
Because keeping children safe from the dangers of drugs is essential, and talking to aliens from another world is not. Seriously though, if they stopped enforcing drug laws the price of drugs would plummet and a lot of very important people would lose billions of dollars each year.

I say it's a joke because congress goes on fucking us time and time again, not doing their jobs, shutting down, everything is shit and regular people yet again bear the brunt. Govt operations against drugs, internet, copyright, I bet everything is going 100%. Shutdown my ass. They put fences around monuments and force a bunch of badass vets who just want to see their statue break the law, yet here we are seeing firsthand that their drug war is still going full steam ahead. They say it's a shutdown but it's only a shutdown for their own interests, not ours. Fuck them. I feel sorry for people who are hurting because of our politicians can't do shit but honestly what else do you expect at this point. I hope it gets people angry at our government, not this party or that party, because that's all they want to come from this.

Who knows how long that will take to be useful though, I'm guessing a couple weeks of downtime are not going to make a huge difference.

ALthough I do think private companies are going to be the future of space travel. That is unless the govt releases their alien tech.
But that is a different story,

That was really well said, gzuf. In that vein of thought, I would have to agree that it is a joke.

Nah I get what you're saying though, you're definitely right too. I just hate their bullshit They only shutdown what matters to regular people, not the industry.

You apparently disagreed with what I said, but you never gave a reason. What negative consequences would you expect from a brief period of NASA downtime?
