Prediction — What Will End The Shutdown

“Currently, most Americans seem to be largely carrying on as normal during the Federal government shutdown. I know I am able to pretty much completely ignore it. Looking at front pages of sites like the WSJ and CNN, stories on the shutdown are still there but are certainly not the lead, center pieces. This is the government employee’s nightmare, where they effectively go on strike and no one notices. So where will enough public pain come from to force concessions on one or the other party in Congress? The game used to be closing high visibility public parks to tick the citizens off …. My new hypothesis came from my wife, who was worrying the other day whether we would be able to make some critical flights in early November. I initially scoffed, but thinking about it more, I think the TSA and more particularly the FAA may be the key to this shutdown.” (10/09/25)
