WILL THE GOVERNMENT SHUT DOWN SOON AND SHOULD YOU CARE?

Maybe yes and probably no

The government has shut down before.  A lot of people were somewhat inconvenienced by the political brinksmanship where each side blames the other side for being mean, obstructive and / or stupid depending on which narrative you are following.

For the average run-of-the-mill person it won't have much effect.

What they should do is set it up like CA did a few years ago.  No budget and the legislators do not get paid.  That attracted the assholes attention.  What the feds need to do is that, and then arrange it so the lost salary is unrecoverable.  That would really get their attention.  They would have to live off their graft for a few days or weeks.  Boo fucking hoo.
