I'm glad for all the federal workers and military who'll get paid on time. I know that in a shutdown, they'll eventually get paid what they missed, but most people can't go much more than a single missed paycheck (if they can even do that).
But they're just kicking the can down the road until November. I guess it's good that they'll all have more time to negotiate ("negotiate"), but it's not like these people like Gaetz and his cronies aren't doing to pull this again.
Considering that this is the window for fuel assistance starting, I'm quite glad to have it kicked down the road if they still need time to get something solid.
