Ask the French. They have a master class on it.
“Those who make peaceful revolution impossible make violent revolution inevitable”
All TSA workers should walk off the job.
Looks like 50,000 people were just asked to stay home and let someone else sort out how planes were going to be boarded. I’m sure this won’t be as big a headache as it would have two months ago but…

I thought that’s what they wanted? Didn’t the unions endorse 🤡?
That’s a big flaw of the executive presidential system: a prime minister who’d gone off the rails could be sacked by a president: short of a coup, America is stuck with the Orange Hitler.
My prediction for shit hitting the fan is March 15 but I am cutting it close. The American population is even more docile than I ever imagined
Shay’s Rebellion is one of my favorite rebellions.
Anyway, eat the rich.
Am I gonna get a Reddit warning for upvoting this?
Didn’t Reagan more or less do the same thing with the air traffic controllers in ‘81?
