I started reading up on it after posting that last comment, and there actually are zero tangible benefits, it's merely play for political dick-waggling and this is known. "We're not getting our way so we're going to deliberately disrupt the entire nation until someone kowtows to us," that's literally it. It's just silly, childish nonsense. It's pure garbage, it has no place in any reasonable, responsible government.
I'm just going to relax and play E33. I'm getting so angry I want to go full Kyle, slam two Monsters and deliver a reckoning to my drywall. This shutdown concept is just so fucking stupid and ridiculous.
God damn it.
There's a time and place for everything... but not now.
