Getting tired

The pun in this post's title refers to a report the FBI is scavenging tires from out of service vehicles to replace flats and try to keep their cars on the road.  Since the government shutdown started they have run out of funds for supplies like the aforementioned tires, but also DNA test kits, ammunition and other mundane items which keep the agency running.  This scenario is playing out in other government agencies which lack funding.  It will reach a critical level soon as unpaid government employees miss a second paycheck.  The pressure on many will lead to resignations which will impair government functionality when the shutdown is eventually over.  The damage being done to the infrastructure of government is incalculable and ongoing.   I don't know what the answer is, but I know something needs to be done before a cataclysmic event occurs.
