Why do they have to work? Doesn’t it make more sense to shutdown US airports?

[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 days ago

Or just run them without TSA, like we used to before 9/11

Because people need to eat.

Also, some air travel is essential.

Or do you want to stop medical couriers from delivering organs for transplant?

Are you trying to imply...that the medical couriers ...are transporting ...food?

You do know that 'also' is a word used to separate two different points, right?

You this comment:

Which is it? Does it make sense to shut down U.S. airports or is that something that wouldn't happen?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Theater of security isn't helpful anyway. I say it's even harmful, as it makes cars more attractive over public transport and get more shit in our lungs as result.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

You're kind of missing the point

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Unfortunately it wouldn't come to removal of said theater, it will leed to unpaid employees doing a bad job

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Indeed. Doing other way around is much better.

But they're going to get paid when the budget is approved again, right?

It's a problem for who lives paycheck to paycheck, though

Most people making 50k are working 4th-next-paycheck to 5th-next-paycheck tho.
