If the sun were to magically disappear, it would be 8.5 minutes before we would know it. Not only would we not see the sun disappear for 8.5 minutes, the earth would still curve in itâs orbit for that length of time until if flew off itâs orbit. The outer planets would take even longer.
These people are like that. They think that, since the government was shut down and it didnât impact them, that they donât need it. Eventually, though, it would catch up to them.
Kinda like âWe donât need vaccines because nobody has the measlesâ works great until somebody gets the measles and nobodyâs vaccinated.
Or judging a fall from the 80th floor as no big deal as you pass the 40th floor because nothing untoward has happened to you.
