      And, more pertinent to the shutdown, Trump will do anything to double your health insurance premiums.

    Why turn up at all if you are not being paid? Surely part of your contract is that you are paid to do your job, they are breaking that end of it so stop doing the job.

    As they should.

    I’ll be honest, air traffic controllers would probably have skills that transfer well to a lot of industries.

    Of course, then that means they can privatize ATC.

    I already won’t fly a plane. Good fucking luck 🖕
