Most countries don’t do government shutdowns. Presidents and prime ministers reshuffle their cabinets, or get overthrown themselves in no confidence votes. But there’s usually not the option of taking away the little guys’ paychecks and holding them hostage.

That’s what I’ve heard. I remember hearing one story which was posted during that government shutdown back in 2013 where Australia had one back in the 70s (I don’t remember the exact year though), and the Queen of England herself went down to that country and fired all the officials responsible for it way back when. I guess since that country was affiliated because of the British Commonwealth despite it’s independent status, she had some kind of authority to do that and there hasn’t been a shutdown since Down Under.

Good for her. It makes sense. If the elected leaders can not do their job and run the country, fire them. Don’t hold the people with no authority responsible. Thanks. Hugs

Exactly. It’s basic logic, but people don’t always heed it.
