River tries to console Simon. The little guy is worried about how the government shutdown will impact them getting pellets and hay.
In their 6 years of existence, they've now experienced two government shutdowns, which is entirely too many.
Don't worry buns, pellets are first priority! PS: I really hope things are going okay over there, because from where I am, it is kinda confusing seeing you all without a functioning goverment.
Aww, thanks. I've tried my best to reassure the little fella that their food supply lines are safe and warned him that attempting to hoard/appropriate his sister's pellets would be unacceptable.
I think a lot of us Americans are getting a refresher course on civics and government as of late. Sadly, it tends to involve a fair amount of shock upon discovering that there aren't explicitly stated laws against certain things and up until now, precedent (fear of becoming un-electable if you refused to do something like make your tax returns public and divest yourself of any remote appearance of a conflict of interest) was the only thing keeping government from becoming a raging dumpster fire.
Yeah, I think this latest shutdown has definitely sparked a renewed determination in Simon to become president. There is no way that he could do worse at this point and I think he can really leverage off of that in the next election cycle. He wants to avoid a coup d'état because he firmly believes in a peaceful transition of power and is a student of history, so he knows that those things rarely end well.

@Mónica López Don't worry, even when its running its not very functional, we're used to it by now. ;3
Simon, there will always be pellets and hay for you, so never fear. River, keep an eye on him, don't need him hoarding out of panic. ;)
Simon & River should take this opportunity to perform a coup d'état. Two lops in Washington would be a drastic improvement.
Hi Mónica, Reuben, and Brian!
