OPM has announced that the Fed is closed for a nearly unprecedented fourth day in a row. The last time the government shut down for more than 2 days was for the blizzard of 1996, when employees were instructed not to report for an entire week (also the record for longest closure). We’ll see if the fed decides to open for business on Friday. I’d like to think that they’ll be able to, but God only knows, at this point.

Having tomorrow off isn’t surprising
Question is whether they can get the Metro fully functional by Friday
I don’t think they will so I wouldn’t be shocked to see Friday off too

Absolutely incredible. Can’t believe this is happening.
