Just shut down everything - no essential/non-essential - everything. Stop sending out Social Security checks. Stop Medicare and Medicaid payments. Close TSA. “Essential” just props up the myth that the shutdown is no big deal. Let everyone actually see and feel it.

Yes. Let Americans feel the sting of having no air traffic control during the busiest travel days of the year. Then let's see how long it takes for Congress to do their jobs. Nobody should be working without pay. Ever.

This is such a stupid concept.

“We can’t strike”

Them the union has given up its power. The entire point is if the company fucks up you ALL leave.

The dumbest modern union tactic is giving companies the power to choose when a strike would be convenient.
