If you have been confused about the US Government Shutdown, here's an overly simplified fast-food analogy of the situation courtesy of reddit:

• "Alright so to confirm, we'll be getting one party size pepperoni and mushroom pizza with olives, right?"
• "WAIT NO! I DON'T WANT OLIVES!"
• "But we all agreed that we wanted olives."
• "WELL NOT US!"

And so the U.S. shut down every Pizza Hut until an agreement could be made. Those who shutdown the Pizza Huts still get pizza. Note that olives were voted on as something that should go on the pizza three years ago, but then some new guys showed up to the party and decided to be stubborn about the olives and refused to accept the olives unless you took the cheese, sauce and bread off the pizza.
