The whole reason for this potential government shutdown isn't even included in the main funding of this deal, and people are STILL upset?

Helping the people that were hurt by the last government shutdown and were the reason why the last shutdown ended, I don't see that as a bad thing. Especially when the main thing we would be shutting down the government for is being isolated and split off into a separate negotiation and just being funded for two weeks (i.e., damn near nothing when it comes to matters like these) while negotiations continue.

It should be noted that a government shutdown DOESN'T EVEN STOP ICE BECAUSE THEY ARE DEEMED ESSENTIAL WORKERS AND WILL CONTINUE TO TERRORIZE OUR CITIES REGARDLESS.
