The future of our country has never been more uncertain. The country is gaining a new President to kick off 2021, and a national shutdown may be underway. I took time to interview one of our regular readers  regarding what a possible shutdown would mean to him and his loved ones. Here is what “quarantine mode” looks like for Jeffrey, a 32 year old Macedonia native who now resides in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio. 

 

  1. Why would the shutdown be a vacation for you?

Jefferey:I have been pretty much working 60 hours a week for almost 2 years straight other than a two-week vacation each year. 

  1. What was your reaction to the first shut down? 

Jeffery:Didn’t really have one and I  was still working.

  1. What do you do for a living?

Jeffery: I work for Little Tikes Distribution Center in Hudson, Ohio.

  1. How did your family feel about the last shut down and how do they feel about possible future shutdowns

  1. Were you about to keep up on bills

Jeffery:Yes.

  1. How did you spend your time during the Last shut down

Jeffery: Probably invest it into my stock portfolio. 

  1. Do you think the Senate will cave in and give everyone an extra $1400
