Just a thought on the effects of this shutdown.
It has now been 4 hours, and if it ends soon, then probably a minor issue.
But Amazon, Fedex, UPS, USPS shipments are ALSO GROUNDED.
(Even if this ends soon, the pilots still need to follow work/time rest requirements)
and you know WHO WILL PAY the consequences if a Customer ordered next day, priority or even ground and it does not make it in time.
Will Amazon help?
HELLL NO.
