i don't think so, i believe it was later into the fiscal calendar (like December i think) so some programs had some portion of their operational funds available and could float a little longer.

this particular shutdown came exactly as the federal fiscal year ended (September 30)/began (October 1) again which is an administratively complicated time already, so i think that's why this one is resulting in more rapid degradation.

like the one-off troop pay thing is crazy, where they had to "find" funds from some pre-existing multi-year project agreement to repurpose. that's new.
