ST. LOUIS (KMOX) - As of Friday, the U.S. government has been partially shutdown for 21 days. Some 800,000 workers nation-wide will not receive a paycheck today, but a large majority of the commenters on the KMOX social accounts say they're not feeling the affects of the shutdown.
On Wednesday, KMOX posted the question, "How is the government shutdown affecting you?" on our Facebook and Twitter accounts.
The consensus was the affects on everyday life have been few and far between since the shutdown began on Dec. 22. A few of the comments were "no headaches," "Not hurting me at all," and "Shut Down?"
Take a look at the comments for youself and feel free to join in on the conversation (please, just keep it civil):
