All TSA agents should strike at the same time those days, wearing green hats and fake mustaches
Nothing would change, the TSA does nothing but harass lawful citizens.
Yeah lol, people would probably have a great travel experience and want to make it permanent. Strikes only work if your job is important to someone, otherwise they work against you
I’m gonna guess that the airports will shut down in the US if TSA is not available. They’re not just gonna let people through without any security in place.
Have you met them? They’re basically otherwise unemployable.

The comment about weight was unnecessary, even though I broadly agree with the message.
So far they’ve gotten paid every time, just late.
So far…
And they ripped out funding for pediatric cancer research. $250 million… or around 0.05% of president Musk’s net worth. Why do repubs hate kids with cancer?
Because they’re not profitable.
Also 900 million will not be going to North Carolina hurricane relief.
Cold heartless bastards
Assuming I did my math correctly these two things would have been a combined total of .002% of the federal budget.
Can’t buy a B2 with hurricane relief.
They want to strip away everything that reduces infant mortality, so that people start having more kids again since so many of them will die young.
Then later they give it back, and since they already took away the right to abortion… Boom, population explosion and a bunch of poor kids are born to later be exploited in factories and wars.

If you don’t want to have an abortion, no one’s ever been forcing you.
Why you think it’s appropriate to force others is weird.
It’s a fetus, not a child.
I assume you’ve adopted multiple unwanted children in the foster system including severely disabled ones, right?
Since you think that “unborn children” shouldn’t be “killed,” you’ve got to be a major part of the solution.
Tell me about your severely disabled kids you adopted from the foster system.

I’m sorry but, FUCK THE TSA. Go join a real theater group, assholes.
Fuck the TSA, but the people who work there because it is a paying job deserve stable employment like the rest of us. They don’t make the decisions.
Does this goes for the police as well?
When they have enough oversight that the “thin blue line” is no longer a thing.
Everyone should know the Chris Dorner story.
People being forced to work without pay is slavery. No one deserves to be a slave, even if they’re normally paid to do something and that something is not useful.
TSA agents are ineffectual on the best of days, but without pay? Between that and the amazing production quality at Boeing I’m quite content to not fly anywhere.
Sorry, but unemployed TSA should get no sympathy. In fact, if you want to kill government programs, it should be at the front of the line. Pork barrel security theater bullshit.
Fuck the TSA and the idiots on power trips working for them.
It’s not the employees’ fault, saying they should get no sympathy is a dick move.
That aside, I agree the TSA is a great example of the kind of spending that needs cut and the department dissolved.
Have you seen the kind of people these kinds of jobs attracts? We aren’t talking about Starbucks workers, we are mostly talking about people that get off on power trips.
Yeah I was going to say this. Just because their pay is shit, does not make TSA employees nice people.
You don’t exactly work together to keep those psychos out dontcha
For real. Like Fox News pundits, they’re being paid to not understand the consequences of their own work. They’re a drain on tax funds performing ineffective security theater at the cost of convenience, privacy, and sometimes the flights of ordinary people. If you’re TSA, you should consider something else that would be of greater social benefit.
How about their kids? Should they get sympathy? Because these people won’t be able to feed them.
Government shutdowns affect far more than just the employees, and in this case those employees are literally being used as slaves. Maybe that deserves sympathy too… unless you think “idiots on power trips” deserve to be enslaved. I don’t think anyone does personally.

Working on oppression is not a job to be respected.
It’s a fucking TSA agent. They don’t really have the power to oppress you, just to annoy you to no end.
Fuck the TSA it’s a jobs program. They are so goddamn worthless.
Oh so you’re pro-cop?
Being a “worker” does not absolve you of being a class traitor.
Yalls petty ass arguing is a prime example of why the fascists just won. Can’t agree on a god damn thing and just tearing each other apart over petty bullshit
What an irrelevant comment.
What are you ? A right-winger
President Musk flexing his muscles even before puppet inauguration.
One thing I wondered is what would happen if Putin and Musk disagree at some point about what Trump is supposed to do? But the answer is actually easy: whoever strokes Trump’s ego better at the time gets their policy through. Trump lives in the moment.
I don’t know, I still think Putin has info on Trump that Trump really doesn’t want to be public for whatever reason. So I’m thinking he would defer to Putin.
Out of the loop, what do you mean SHUT DOWN THE GOVERNMENT???
It’s a thing that’s been happening a lot over the past few years where US politicians refuse to sign bills that approve government spending (such as continuing to pay government employees) until their demands about some unrelated thing are met.
I believe the term for this is “political blackmail”.
Why it is accepted and legal, I don’t understand.
Sounds like terrorism to me
Not even a government shutdown can stop the TSA from harassing people
I hope that US citizens will remember who caused the chaos out of pure spite when the next election comes around.
This happens constantly and 80% of the time it’s republicans playing games (not being unable to agree, but agreeing and then doing stupid shit because of the tea party or Trumpers or whatever)
Remember? Mmmmwwwwhahahahaha!
Not a chance, not with the publics goldfish like memory span and media companies pushing their narrative.
The next election will be like the kind they have in Russia.
Not unlikely, indeed. Sorry for you, chaps. We went through this about 80 years ago, and we mostly learned our lesson.
I wonder how this will affect unexpected delays during holiday travel.
Badly
i feel sorry for SNL. how will they survive this?

Don’t worry about it. This person has announced that they will be putting this in every post they decide doesn’t fit their personal criteria until they’re banned.
And their bio is a lie. They proved that in the same thread.
The current definition is actually just “thing on internet”. But the reason the person you’re responding is upset is they are a hyper conservative bootstrapper.
