I'm really shocked they didn't cave [within the first week or two]. I was nearly 100% certain they would.

I'll work on my Nostradamus more.

So the shutdown was pointless?

Not for Schumer. I assume the donor class called him up to kvetch about horrible holiday air travel. They will be very pleased with the shutdown ending and they'll throw the necessary millions at him he needs to win his reelection. For the people of New York State - I'm sure he has a PR plan about what he claims is some shit like what the dems agreed to is "good deal for the American people". Sadly it will probably work. He's never lost an election.

Per the NYCrimes

It contains something that many Democrats were quietly pressing for: a provision that would call federal workers who were laid off during the shutdown back to their jobs. It also would provide funds to ensure that federal workers who were furloughed during the shutdown can receive retroactive pay.

lol they're trying so hard to pretend they got literally anything out of this shutdown. Hooray! We got concessions to address the effects of the shutdown that would not have existed were it not for the shutdown. Amazing win for the people!

The short-term spending bill would additionally bar the Office of Management and Budget from implementing any additional mass layoffs of federal workers through Jan. 30.

Did you hear that? They're going to have to wait 2 entire months!

The shutdown never-surrender shtick served its purpose for the elections, now that that's over with it's time to wind down.
