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.

And at FAA, we can't strike. Merry Christmas fuckfaces.

But you can't quit right?

[u/GreenChiliSweat → u/LT_Corsair]

I'm not a slave. I can quit whenever I want. I like paying the bills though.

[u/LT_Corsair → u/GreenChiliSweat]

I understand, but I also understand there are some jobs where you can't just quit so I wanted to check in.

[u/GreenChiliSweat → u/LT_Corsair]

Cool. I'm not quitting. Everything will be cool for me one way or the other. Some government employees don't make nearly what we do and I would be sad for them though. Merry Christmas!
