Forgive me if I'm woefully misunderstanding how this all works.

If the government is shut down, and they can't reach an agreement to open it back up, what happens?

Short term? What does it look like in the coming weeks to months if no agreement is reached?

Mid-Term? Within the next year, if things are still all shut down, what happens to things like trade, tax payments, public services?

Long-term? If, worst case scenario, the divisions between the parties with power have grown so though they can't ever reach an agreement: what happens then? Is it an anarchist state? Do we have new coup attempts to take power? Does the US balkanize?

I'm not meaning to inject any sort of bias in my line of questions, I hope I haven't led anyone to any specific conclusions.

Wow, that's one interesting comment history you got there. I'm guessing... Floridian?

Also, as someone who has family members who have worked with clients in the California prison system to make sure they get their rights exercised, we do have due process in this state, unlike your right-wing fantasies, MAGAt.

Go suck off Desantis, and while you're at it, why not visit Alligator Auschwitz for some tourism of the "accomplishments" of your state.
