Week three of the shutdown and there’s a possible end in sight, albeit one that could get tripped up at any point or bogged down in procedure long enough that the far more calamitous event of reaching the debt ceiling might occur despite last-minute scrambling in the Senate to avoid it.
What have we lost so far in the shutdown? Well, the National Institute of Standards and Technology missed an Oct. 10 deadline to release a draft framework for the cybersecurity of private sector critical infrastructure due to fact of no NIST employees being on hand to do the releasing.
The Veterans Affairs Department has furloughed its software development staff. Most workers at National Telecommunications and Information Administration and the Federal Communications Commission are at home.
