Oh, would you look at that. When the government stops meddling with the economy, the economy starts booming.

Not able to decide who won an election = no government?

Yeah, I'm confused as to how there is no government. Are people still paying taxes? Why are the politicians gathering in government buildings still if they're not getting paid?

 

If no new laws/regulations are being made, then that's better, but by no means does that equate to no government.

Didn't something similar occur in Belgium a couple of years prior?

I think "no goverment" in the article means only that there is no defined group of people you can point at as "the government" right now, that means there's a superposition government, a Schroedinger goverment if you will, like the atom whose state is unknown at the time, but when they finally observe it, goverment will turn out to be one group of guys or other group of guys, not "non existent" :/

Perhaps they will remain that way for long enough to just get used to the fact that they don't really need the goverment in their daily lives, but as I read from it, various previous decisions of previous governments may soon bite them in the ass.

OH GOD! CONGRESS WON"T PASS A BUDGET!

 

So they shut down the government. 

What happens? Birds fall from the sky,blackouts,riots,dogs marry cats,mayhem!

What happens? Nothing.

 

Except we save money.
