Well, the Desoto National Memorial Park will be closed, I suppose.

Do Social Security checks and SS disability checks still go out? Is Unemployment affected? I know a portion of Unemployment is federally funded. Medicare/Medicaid? Food stamps? IRS tax refunds?

I've never collected any of these things (yet), so I'm not sure what happens.

If anyone goes to the SS office off 41 Monday, let us know if its open, or closed.

I know anything deemed essential to national security stays intact.

Last time, it turned out to be paid vacation for Federal employes, so I guess they are cheering the shutdown. They'll eventually be paid for not working...again.

How else does this impact our area? Transportation shut downs: SRQ? TPA? Ports? Amtrak? Greyhound? Postal delivery?

So long as the public utilities and infrastructure functions, Costco, Sprouts, Total Wine, ATM's stay open, I'm good, but I'd hate to see this adversely impact others.

What's the worse thing that is going to happen to the most people in this area?

Last time it happened, I lived elsewhere, and it was a total non-event.
