1. How has the recent US government shut down affected the US company’s business planning?

Well, quite frankly, I think it was more of a political stunt. And the actual business planning hasn't really changed too much. It was a political thing for Trump to kind of try to get his will regarding the border wall. Companies are happy now that the shutdown has ended.
