In reply to the discussion: *How long* can Trump/McConnell keep the shutdown going? [View all]LastLiberal in PalmSprings
(12,582 posts)29. Eventually government workers will find other jobs. They'll have to.
But other than low-paying service jobs, who's going to hire someone who could leave the moment that Trump/McConnell declare victory and end the shutdown?

Just as Putin wanted.
Mission accomplished.
