I have come to conclude that the leadership of both parties knows that a shutdown is not going to work because it has never worked, but allows them anyway because it’s the only way to burn off frustration by many party members, knowing eventually the pain will convince them to end it.

In the century leading up to 1975, nearly 6000 freighters went down in the Great Lakes.
The Edmund Fitzgerald was the last.
The last. In 50 years, not a single commercial freighter has been lost in the Great Lakes.
Why?
It's NOAA. Of course it's NOAA.
