"Government shutdown costs the economy $11 billion, significantly dings Q1 GDP growth, CBO estimates"

@whiteflame

Off topic question, what are you?

A millennial?

A professor?

An attorney?

Or maybe an activist, or an advocate, for this or that cause?

"Even if you support the wall, the fact that 800,000 people had to suffer directly from the lack of pay and countless more were harmed indirectly should be nothing but devastating. Winning political points is entirely hollow as well."

And since the late 1980's, how illegal immigrants have come into the country?

How many innocent people, have been killed by the illegal immigrants?

How many people have died, because of the illegal drugs that have been smuggled into the United States, via southern border?

The above hasn't been harmful to the United States citizens, since the late 1980's?

The guy from Meet The Press:

No, not all of the country was affected by the government shutdown.

@Zombieguy1987 ;

"God is not a subject to the US law,"

No, but God is being subjected to the anti religion mindsets, apparently being  perpetrated by dome of the anti religion mindsetting individuals?

Some men, and some women, and some teenagers have killed people, and because this is the internet, some mindfully judge God, on the internet, because their anti religious views wouldn't be taken seriously by some in a Real Life courtroom that exists in the real world?

 "So it would be a strange question, at best."

You're right, because some of the questions, asked by some on the internet, are fittingly asked, because this is the internet verses real life.

"Similarly, if a shark attacks and eats you alive, it will not be found having committed illegal actions, as sharks are not subjects to the law."

And what does a shark attack have to do with people killing people? 

Are you comparing, the notion of blaming God, for a man, woman, or a teenager, in the killing of another person? 

@Zombieguy1987, can you address the above questions?
