Looking at what shuts down and what doesn't gives me a sense of how skewed our priorities have become. Let's see, Vet call centers close, WIC shuts down, small number of Head Start programs close, NIH research disrupted, CDC outbreak tracking hampered, but at least Homeland Security keeps chugging along.
