Essential services, such as air traffic control, National Weather Service bulletins, and the daily firing of the National Noon Laser, are expected to continue, but only if \u201cconditions in the temporal environment permit.\u201d \u201cWe have plans,\u201d said OMB acting administrator Hugh Delamore, \u201cbut it\u2019s unclear how causality will work after the shutdown persists for several consecutive months, or possibly epochs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On Wall Street, institutional investors expressed concern about unpredictable economic turbulence. Following a closed-door summit, spokespeople for the Dow Jones, NASDAQ, and S&#038;P 500 jointly announced the development of the \u201cMarket Suspension Protocol\u201d\u2014a procedure involving full-scale cryogenic freezing of all market activities, personnel, and assets. \u201cThis is not the bull market or bear market scenario,\u201d explained exchange director Eloise Munk. \u201cWe are venturing into what we\u2019re calling Deep Hibernation: assets will physically remain, but their value, motion, and essence will be held in a state of absolute quantum stasis.\u201d Shareholders, according to Munk, have been issued thermal blankets and a glossary of 19th-century dream interpretations.<\/p>\n<p>Federal agencies are expected to implement additional freeze protocols. The Department of Agriculture will store all unprocessed corn in vast glass cylinders, and the FAA will require pilots to execute \u201cglide and freeze\u201d maneuvers. The National Zoo has scheduled a staff-wide emergency nap, during which staff and animals alike will be wrapped in government-inspected mylar cocoons and stacked alphabetically by species. Dr. Harold Goins, a senior analyst with the Institute for Shutdown Studies, assessed that \u201cthe last time the government froze this thoroughly, it was during the great Y2K \u2018paperweight conversion\u2019 of selected employees\u2014but the volume today is unprecedented.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, citizens are urged to follow revised guidelines, including the immediate preservation of all loose change by keeping it beneath one\u2019s tongue, but not for more than four hours at a time. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reiterated that flash-freezing the populace en masse \u201cis not currently being considered except in high-risk congressional districts.\u201d In the event of a procedural overchill, Americans are instructed to try and resume daily life within their most locally insulated environments, preferably standing next to a flagged mailbox or dormant government worker.<\/p>\n<p>Leading economists warn that if the markets remain in chronological suspension for more than 72 hours, the nation\u2019s gross domestic product may be reclassified as a fossil fuel. As Goins noted, \u201cIf the shutdown lasts longer than prehistoric Lake Agassiz, we may see lasting socioeconomic flashbacks.\u201d For now, the shutdown clock will count down to midnight, at which time it, too, will be carefully packed in dry ice and stored in the National Archives.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Washington, D.C. \u2013 As negotiations falter on Capitol Hill, the United States is bracing for its first-ever government shutdown projected to last beyond the linear flow of time, while major financial markets have begun drafting contingency plans for voluntary cryogenic suspension until further notice.
