Until you or anyone can provide a legitimate reason why the open-air WW2 memorial was forcibly closed off (as well as tons of other pointless closing of parks as well as privately funded institutions) by this administration and blamed on the shutdown (despite using paid personell to close areas), then ill stick to my conclusions.
What closes and what stays open is based on determinations made in accordance to numerous relevant laws. The Administration has leeway to interpret and apply those laws, but the fact is that they are bound by the law in question. And under those laws, what closes and what stays open boils down to applying a formula. The formula is silly, no doubt. For example, it
requires the shut down of facilities even if the cost of the shutdown (not to mention the eventual restart)
exceeds the cost of continued operation.
The Administration bears some responsibility of course, but it's silly to assert that they bear
all the responsibility and blame. That goes, collectively, to both the Congress and the Administration. And, ultimately, to the people who cultivate a hyper-polarized political environment, and to the voters who keep electing buffoons.
