1. Billionaire Boyz Club doesn't have a clue about how most people live, and rely on timely pay for the work they do

The Boyz are just used to stiffing contractors and deferring payments as it suits their needs. Totally untethered from reality for the majority of how people live.

Air traffic controllers and all the other professionals who make air travel safe are not doing that stressful work for fun or just to pass the time. Slavery has been outlawed here for quite some time. Pay federal workers! Get a fair budget passed!

I have a friend flying today. Worried? Oh yes indeed. And I don't want to see my friend stranded for weeks or months while the GOP tries to pressure DEMs into giving up. But I kinda hope my friend gets extra time with the family 'back home' due to air traffic controllers finally ALL staying home and stopping air travel until the GOP gets their shit together.

Time for the Billionaire Boyz to learn some hard truths.
