It would be more accurate to say that the general public does not know what
they would lose by shutting down GA.

If they shut down GA, most of the general public would have no idea why they
have no jobs, why they can't get their mail, why their doctor or lawyer or
CPA can no longer serve them, why their forests are burning down, why their
seafood suddenly has become more valuable than gold in the few places it is
still available, why children are suddenly dying of cancer, etc.

....why it's no longer possible to get checks returned in the statement
each month, why the rural economy in Alaska has collapsed, why the
organ transplant system has fractured or been destroyed, why there is
suddenly a shortage of pilots in the U.S...
