I’ve come to the conclusion that a lot of people are big talk until an issue affects them personally. Case in point, the 2019 GOP shutdown.

Because of this belief, I was pleased to see pictures of two hour TSA lines at Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson airport.

Armchair Trump supporters can wait in line while unpaid federal workers begrudgingly scan their bags in between taking sick days.

Isn’t this shutdown great? You know what fixes it? Skin in the game.

The air traffic controllers actually have the power to end the shutdown in less than 48 hours with a strike. Can you imagine the scrambling that would exist in Washington during a complete shutdown of air traffic?

How presumptuous of the federal government to assume workers will report to work for no pay.
