The U.S. government shutdown has just become the longest in history, surpassing the 35 days of 2018.
On November 5, the Senate failed again to approve the temporary funding bill, prolonging a political stalemate that began on October 1.
✈️ Direct impact on real life
More than 13,000 air traffic controllers and 50,000 TSA agents continue to work without pay, while absenteeism exceeds 40%.
Result: over 6,000 flights delayed and 1,000 canceled in just one day. JFK Airport even had to temporarily halt operations.
💸 The economy feels the hit
Each day without an agreement could cost tens of millions of dollars, especially to the aerospace sector.
Markets react with high volatility (≈3 %), while investors seek refuge amid political uncertainty.

🏛️ The reason for the stalemate
The conflict centers on the differences between Democrats and Republicans regarding the budget and spending priorities.
Each party defends its ground while essential services operate with minimal resources.
The public, once again, finds itself caught in the crossfire.
🧩 What's coming...
Congress needs political commitment and fund approval to end the shutdown.
But three obstacles persist:
1️⃣ Deep partisan divisions.
2️⃣ Pressure from power groups.
3️⃣ Growing economic and social fatigue.
