there is not an ongoing shutdown.

It's not splitting hairs - it's a matter of tense. To some, a shutdown is not a shutdown - i.e. the thread to which I responded (it's not even a shutdown because they receive back pay.)

Employees being paid (backpay) for not working doesn't mean that there was not a shut-down of operations....It's worse - there WAS a shutdown of operations & folks were paid anyway.
