I find myself in a really strange situation that was supposed to happen
in the future sometime, but it's now: The government where I live is
closed for business. It's not officially out of business forever, but
that is a thought: What if it were?
The guy in Bosnia who is about to come over here, to the US (yes, the US
govt. is closed for business), can't get a visa because the US embassy in
Zagreb is closed. If the govt. didn't reopen does this mean that he
could never come here? Or would there come a point when people would
just forget about the government and travel freely?
What would happen then?
Also, I cannot leave the US now, because I do not have a passport and I
cannot get one with the govt. closed. Do I really have to have one to
visit your country? Or could I just get a visa at your embassy in New
York City and then tell your customs people, when I land in your country,
that my govt. was out of business so I have no passport?
What would happen then?
What if I just say "No thanks" when my govt. reopens? Life is actually
much simpler without it.
What would happen then?
me!
