On the Whitehouse.gov website they now have a timer for how long the government has been shut done. Epic!

I understand that national defense and emergency services are not shut down. How are normal people even inconvenienced by the shutdown? And why not leave it shutdown?
They also seem to do shutdowns after the SS checks have gone out. I wonder what would happen if the gov is shut down longer than a month? People stop getting ss checks?
SS checks (usually direct deposit) are staggered throughout the month, not just on the 1st. And no, they don't stop getting checks/deposits during a shutdown. I used to work for a bank and this sort of thing would make the call volume way too high.
