The government shutdown revealed something very interesting to notice: clear skies.

I first saw a post on Substack about this a week or so ago when the government shutdown was announced. The government does nothing for us anyway, so shut down or not, I wasn't aware.

However, this particular post opened my eyes because it pointed out something fascinating: ever since the government shutdown, we've been seeing clear skies.

And I thought, that sounds very interesting.

"Ever since the government shutdown, we've been seeing clear skies."

The Weekend Observation

This past weekend, I spent a lot of time outside, and I realized—

"Wait a second, it is clear. There's literally not a cloud in the sky. No trails there as well. There's nothing up there."

So I had to ask myself:

Is it because there's a government shutdown?

Is that why we're not seeing any trails in the air?

If that were the case, then that would mean the conspiracy theorists were right all along. They've been saying what we're seeing is the intentional government spraying of our air—chemtrails.

The mainstream counter to this has always been, "No, you're not seeing chemtrails. You're seeing condensation trails from airplanes."

But here's the problem with that argument: if we're just seeing condensation trails, those should be coming from commercial airlines. Commercial airlines are still flying, so we should still see our normal contrails.

"If we're just seeing condensation trails, those should be coming from commercial airlines. Commercial airlines are still flying, so we should still see our normal contrails."

Yet, it's interesting that with a government shutdown, no government flights are taking off, and no government-funded research flights are happening, so there are literally no trails in the air.
