 A good chunk of the military is furloughed. All military training stops. Paired with Tuberville's hold on assignments for  leaders, it will only be a few months before China has the world's most powerful military.

Part of the Border Patrol shuts down. All training stops and they can't hire new employees. So much for GOP “border” complaints.

Part of the National Weather Service is furloughed. They also can't hire or train anyone. Hope you didn't need tornado warnings or hurricane forecasts. 2/3
