The rangers and adminitrative staff were all sent home to wait it out. Far as I know they nobody lost their jobs, but to suggest that no federal employees got hurt is just a baldfaced lie.

Ah, yes.... Now that you mention it, I do remember that parks were closed. Also impacted were the auxiliary businesses to parks such as restaurants, hotels, and other tourist type businesses.

Yes. He does not seem to STFU. He needs to be shouted down. And it works for half a day or so. But half a day of dialog without disruption is better than none. FWIW, I was the fist one to use the graphic here. So for confirmation,

Let's not forget business loss by the chilling effect of debt worries or overregulation.
