This week, the 11th U.S. Senate attempt to pass the federal provisional funding bill failed. Democrats insisted that any agreement must respond to their demands on health care benefits, while Republicans advocated a provisional funding bill to keep the government operating at the current level. At the moment, there is no plan for a new round of negotiations.

The impact of the U.S. government's "shutdown" on all aspects of society is further evident.

The two parties' impasse remains unresolved.

Federal Employees Rescue

On the 21st local time, at a relief point in Washington, D.C., federal employees who were owed wages lined up tens of meters to receive free food. As the government's "shutdown" continues, the Capital Regional Food Aid Center recently announced that it will distribute free food to federal employees from this week, and the 21st event is the first one. The organization will also carry out similar activities in downtown Washington and several locations in Maryland and Virginia.

Currently, they serve more than 370 federal employee families, more than double the expected number.

U.S. Department of Commerce employee Summer:I¡¯m going to pay the rent next week and get anything I can get.I haven¡¯t got a salary this month, so these free foods are very important.

U.S. Social Security Administration employee Rolanda:I have also been suspended before, but I have never seen this now, people really need to go to food aid to get food.

Nearly 20,000 flights delayed, a large number of unpaid workers in the aviation industry

In terms of aviation, according to the data of the US flight tracking website, from the 18th to the 20th local time, nearly 20,000 flights within and in and out of the United States were delayed, of which nearly 8,000 flights were delayed on the 19th, reaching a peak. US media reported that 13,000 air traffic controllers and 50,000 employees of the Transportation Safety Administration continued to work without income this month.

U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Daffy:They are frustrated and they deserve better.

Majority of U.S. Nuclear Security Agency employees leave

In addition, the National Nuclear Safety Administration of the United States announced on the 20th that about 1,400 employees of the agency began unpaid vacation that day, leaving only nearly 400 employees on duty. The National Nuclear Safety Administration is a "semi-independent" agency under the Department of Energy, and its responsibilities cover U.S. military and civilian nuclear projects.

U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright said on the 20th that the National Nuclear Security Administration still has emergency personnel on duty and that "the nuclear stockpile is currently safe."

Release of key US inflation data delayed due to government shutdown

Due to the "shutdown" of the U.S. federal government, the September consumer price index report scheduled to be released by the U.S. Department of Labor on the 15th of this month will be postponed to the 24th of this month. Earlier, the Ministry of Labor had postponed the September employment data statistics report scheduled to be released on the 3rd of this month.

The absence of official data reports would have a negative impact on decision-making by agencies such as the Federal Reserve.

¡°Stop¡± continues

The two sides continue to fight.

Previously, media and analysts have argued that the current Republican and Democratic parties are not compromising on key issues, plus the two parties are trying to use the "stop-down" service for their respective political purposes, the government "stop-down" threatens to continue, and its multiple negative effects will also increase.

On the 21st, local time, the two parties of the Democratic Republic continued to "fight the mouth".

Democrats: Crisis must be resolved through negotiations

The Democratic Party insists that the current crisis must be resolved through negotiations.

U.S. Senate Minority Leader Democrat Chuck Schumer:Trump should sit down and negotiate with us before his departure so that we can solve this serious crisis. he should not leave before the negotiations, the American people are in crisis.

U.S. Democratic Federal Senator Corey Bucker:Many people are now suffering from the government¡¯s ¡°stop-down¡±. Currently, domestic medical costs are rising in the United States. When people receive insurance premiums notifications, they find that insurance premiums have risen by 20%, 50%, and even more than 100%.

Trump: The premise of negotiations is to get the government back up and running

The Republican Party said it would continue to push for the funding bill passed by the House and asked the Democratic Party to "agree first to reopen the government." U.S. President Trump said on the 21st that the prerequisite for sitting down and negotiating is to get the government back to operation.

US President Trump:I would be happy to meet with them, but I hope they will first restore the country to normal functioning, and the situation is very severe now.

U.S. Senate Republican Leader John ThunI think the president clearly wants the government very much to get back into operation, and we are on the same page on that. And I think he hopes that Democrats can accept reasonable proposals, but these will have to wait until the government resumes operation.

Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy on Monday criticized the move as a "senseless" shutdown, purely for political purposes and not for everyone's benefit.

Some netizens were angry, saying, ¡°I can¡¯t listen to the words of these hated people and scammers, that they keep the government in a standstill.¡±
