Its when congress can't approve a new budget so federal agencies, buildings parks etc temporarily close, non essential govt workers dont get paid, and I believe certain social benefit programs may be cut off as well. iirc its happened at least once or twice in the 21st century but didn't last more than a few weeks.

Probably, largely, won't affect most Americans unless you are a govt employee or it drags on and you rely on social benefits

it happens when Congress can’t agree on funding. Basically House Republicans are upset about something, though I’m not sure what it is this time

In other words: every few years as political theater the US momentarily goes bankrupt.

So much so, they seem to be making the argument by asking why we are cheating out the residents of Lahaina by not gold-plating their sidewalks.

It’s wild that this happens in a first world country. Though I only remember a few.

I think there was a shorter one in 2017(?) when Trump wanted more money for they wall. I think the first was when Gingrich wanted more cuts to Clinton’s budget in the 90s.

I saw that Arizona and Utah will be funding the Grand Canyon and Zion parks respectively to keep them open.

Basically a state bail-out of federal government.

The last one in 2018 lasted 34 days and was the longest in past 30 years, I think.

Feeling bad for all the German tourists that had plans to visit Yosemite. I was there in the spring and it was full of them. Gorgeous park
