Not a single person of the 77 million who voted for Grump OR the idiots who didn’t bother voting are ever going to get one IOTA of sympathy from me Fuck each and every single one of them all. Enjoy your abject poverty and job loss. I’ll enjoy laughing at you.

2/3 of the voting public looked at Trump and didn't consider him a threat

This is the last time a bunch of rednecks in Wisconsin get to dictate what happens to the global economy.

They were on borrowed time anyway. No one likes the TSA.

good

i have been molested by TSA officers at the Denver airport. i hope that it becomes illegal for them to quit.

My experience with the employees leads me to believe that they may not be our best and brightest.

I’d like to say that I’m surprised, but I am not.

[-] Agrivar@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Right?

I'm a big supporter of normal unions - but "unions" for government thugs feel different. We all know the police union only exists to keep cops away from consequences, I'm sure the airport security theater thugs were in a similar boat.

[-] CarbonatedPastaSauce@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

No government employee should have a union that helps them fight against the interests of the public they are (hypothetically) serving. It's nonsensical.

It keeps the incompetent around.

[-] MisanthropiCynic@lemm.ee -1 points 3 weeks ago

That’s what unions do, along with artificially inflating wages for unskilled work

[-] fmstrat@lemmy.nowsci.com 1 points 3 weeks ago

While there are tons of problems with the TSA, protecting those that aren't the brightest is part of the reason unions exist, isn't it?

[-] ShadowRam@fedia.io 1 points 3 weeks ago

No. the reason unions exist is to

  • Force Companies to Protect their workers well being and provide better working conditions
  • Force Companies to share the profit of the company with the employee's

Unfortunately a side effect is that unions also protect the stupid/incompetent/lazy to the detriment of the company AND union.

To be fair, fuck the goddamn TSA in the neck with a red hot poker. If Musk had abolished them on Day One he would be heralded as a hero.

[-] Rooskie91@discuss.online 1 points 3 weeks ago

Guy with long, storied history of hating unions destroys unions. Like did they even try to think about their decision?

[-] Appleseuss@lemmy.world 0 points 3 weeks ago

Ya know, I'm fine with this one. TSA doesn't protect or stop anything. It's all security theatre.

[-] ansiz@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

To be fair the TSA is just a federal jobs program and the workers are at least better off than if they worked for a private company doing the same thing. But that probably last too long under Trump. Then the TSA will be shuttered, replaced with private companies and AI the workers turned into contractors with no health benefits.
