Apparently, the SEC is part of the #governmentshutdown based on an auto-response to an email I sent a short time ago. Didn't realize that. Thankfully, EDGAR still working.

Spent part of my junior year in Denmark and fell in love with the place. I’ve been back a half dozen times since. Still in touch with my host family and sent a text apologizing for the US’s boorish behavior telling my Danish “sister” that not all Americans think like this!
