How do you feel about the US government shutdown?

@meJess
...and do what?

@swirlie if they are closed presumably less than normal

@meJess
Just because the US government is shut down, do you really think that has any kind of an impact on the daily operation of any other country's government?

@swirlie I was making a joke based on the perceived lack of value from governments and therefore suggesting perhaps others could also close.

By the way if the US government does close there is an impact on other countries, visa applications etc.

@meJess
I love how you build-in your rationale behind a question that was asked which in no way of itself, suggested you were referring to ANY of those things you now mention! 🤣

@swirlie i love how you try to deflect when you realise that you missed humour and that you think the.closure of the US government doesn’t affect anything outside the US.

You missed a joke, get over it.

@meJess
A joke? Ahhh! Okay! I think a joke usually contains enough information on its own that a studio audience doesn't have to play charades with the joke-teller before grasping its full meaning before the laughter begins, though every standup comedian has her own style, right?! 🤣

@swirlie there will always be those who don’t get it of course.

@meJess
Yeah true, I guess I'm one of them! 🫣
