How are you affected by government shutdown.

I am one of the millions that died

Nada, zilch, zero
Just like everyone else in America that doesn't work for the government.
I am, however, thankful for the hundreds of millions of tax dollars saved over the life of the shutdown. Does that count as being affected?

I won't get paid for about 30% of my business until the government re-opens.
That being said, I wish it would permanently shut down.

At the post office right now.

50 people in line and 2 working the counter so, everything seems normal.

Same here. Cancelled my camping trip.

It's all cool till Wednesday. After that per Fox news the following will close.

Nine of the 15 Cabinet-level departments are to shutter, along with dozens of agencies. Those departments are: Agriculture, Commerce, Homeland Security, Housing and Urban Development, Interior, Justice, State, Transportation and Treasury.

I’m an economist currently on the job market. The American Economic Association meetings are the first week of January, which is the number one time of year for gov, academia, and private industry to hire economists. If the gov is shut down at the end of the year, a lot of those agencies will cancel their interviews creating a substantial demand shortage (gov is single biggest employer of economists in US). I didn’t apply for any gov jobs, but still, the demand shortage would depress wages this cycle, so I’m a bit disappointed this came to a head at this time.

But it is what it is, not going to sit around whining about it. I’m going to make sure I’m prepared to nail the interviews, then just gotta hope the labor surplus doesn’t drive the wage offers down too far below the standard.

Trump's shutdown has altered my life immensely. He is a genius.

Everything is good here.

I wish I was affected by a shutdown... in the form of saving my tax dollars.

Unfortunately, all that cash still gets dolled out.
