I do not believe this had anything at all to do with hungry people.
As someone far more astute than me pointed out, they caved at the same time flights started to get cancelled, not when people were about to go hungry, nor even when they missed their SNAP disbursements.
It’s the big donor issue of flight cancellations, not the welfare of citizens, that dictated it’s time to end the shutdown now and not a month ago.
