Funny how no other country either shuts down their government on a regular basis or needs the level of security theater of the TSA. Shit hole country.
its a convenient weapon created by the go, which the DEMs enabled. i think other countries would have a re-election of the govt at this point, US has no such mechanism, thats why it continues to spiral downward to oblivion.
What a poorly worded article by NBC yet again. They refuse to state the truth because trump will sick his group of criminals on them, we don't have free press anymore.
Also, who would want to work for a broke employer anyway? We are $39 TRILLION in debt thanks mostly to Donald Trump raising it $1 trillion every 4 months.
I don't know about you, but I am so fucking sick of winning.
I really don't understand why any of them are showing up for work at all.
they convinced them theyw ill get back pay? most already quit by now,
Absolutely, sunk cost fallacy.
You're on a contract that fucks up all the time. Historically, you've always gotten paid eventually. You wait it out a week, two, you could say screw it and walk then, but now it's well, if I walk, i won't get x dollars, let's just wait it out a little. Vicious cycle.

We've gotta get those numbers up!
Only thing better than a strike is a mass exodus.
Except now we have ICE in the airports.
Winning?
Eh. I support ICE harassing people with some degree of resources and influence for a change.

Republicans read this and go “hell yea. More unemployment!!!”
“Look what democrats are doing to our country!”
“Why would Obama do this?!”
Working this hated job and hoping to maybe get paid is fucked up on so many levels.
they lure them in with healthcare fully paid and maybe a retirement plan. ice is already harassing people at blue airports, SFO, seattle,,,etc.

Good. We really don't need any security theater anyway
Unfortunately you continue to get security theater, but with an exponential increase in racism.
Well…it does stand for Theatre Security Agency.
I'm sure airlines will be thrilled about having their customers kidnapped by ICE during security checks. Because that's how "illegals" sneak into the country, right? By buying an airline ticket and FLYING IN. Just think of the headlines.
My favorite TSA experience was how my nephew was on a no fly list and we didnt find this out until we waited through two hours in line.
My nephews age at the time? 6 months old. The No Fly order was older than he was.
Lots of critical thinking going on with that lot, lemme tell you.
Because that’s how “illegals” sneak into the country, right?
Actually, yes. 40% of undocumented immigrants came in legally (many on planes) and simply overstayed their visa.

Gladly let the door kick them on the way out. Heard nothing but awful power tripping stories about them.
ICE is godawful and obviously worse. Both being gone would be great of course.

So the US is now stuck with ICE agents everywhere until they get DOGEd out? No real freedom of movement anymore and I imagine these guys are worse than cops. I anticipate they'll make gangs out of themselves cause they're so large and unchecked
I anticipate they’ll make gangs out of themselves cause they’re so large and unchecked
Cops already do this
That is a paramilitary gang. Those are not law enforcement. They don't follow laws.
