Will some(most? a few?) state govts start publishing all the same data just for their own state?I wonder if this will become a competitive advantage? States that publish nothing will get less FDI or local investment because the risks are harder to calculate?
Actually, will this affect different types of insurance?
It's such an insane problem for a developed nation to have, has anyone given serious thought to the long-term affects of this?

Why does data collection, ostensibly something that should be mandatory for proper signals to run the country, stop when the government shuts down but we can still send billions to Israel?by alexfromapex

Why, why, why, and whatabout?Most likely because you are not in charge of all of the money, oil, data, and political power.

Ok, in terms of substantive conversation, the downvotes are stupid, no offense. Try to put out a flame war with reason. Oh, no.I think I know the HN Guidelines, but do you? In my experience, they are somewhat flexible.
