I
have worked in the government on and off for 38 years. During that time I
became quite familiar with requisitions, bidding, awarding contracts etc.
It is a time consuming process with bean-counters and pencil-necked bureaucrats
every step of the way. The simplest request takes months not days or
hours.
In less than 8 hours of the shutdown, "miraculously", professionally printed 3X4 foot signs appeared all over the country in the tens of thousands saying- “this [park, facility, etc. with custom logos] closed due to government shutdown.
There has not been a government shutdown in 17 years. These signs were designed, specifications were determined, signs were then requisitioned, bids were posted and vetted, government contracts were awarded. The materials were then ordered and the signs manufactured then distributed by U.S. Mail or freight companies.

This
shutdown was orchestrated and planned well in advance at least 6-8 months
ago.
Millions
of tax dollars were appropriated and spent in this process. There is a
paper trail a mile long leading directly to the White House.
