Sorry, but unemployed TSA should get no sympathy. In fact, if you want to kill government programs, it should be at the front of the line. Pork barrel security theater bullshit.

Fuck the TSA and the idiots on power trips working for them.

It's not the employees' fault, saying they should get no sympathy is a dick move.

That aside, I agree the TSA is a great example of the kind of spending that needs cut and the department dissolved.

Have you seen the kind of people these kinds of jobs attracts? We aren't talking about Starbucks workers, we are mostly talking about people that get off on power trips.

Yeah I was going to say this. Just because their pay is shit, does not make TSA employees nice people.

Fuck musk and fuck everyone Like him

That said: fuck everyone who works for the TSA, bunch of useless dickheads who take out their anger on those trying to fly while objectively failing to catch basic security failures. Much like anyone who works for an insurance company: they can rot for all I care

But TSA is a sham. Pure theater and makework.

[–] abigscaryhobo@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago (4 children)

Sure, but people still go there to try and make money for their livelyhood, sham or not they don't deserve to be unpaid.

Not even a government shutdown can stop the TSA from harassing people

I hope that US citizens will remember who caused the chaos out of pure spite when the next election comes around.

[–] WhatYouNeed@lemmy.world 18 points 3 days ago

Remember? Mmmmwwwwhahahahaha!

Not a chance, not with the publics goldfish like memory span and media companies pushing their narrative.

I'm still seeing that the shutdown is looming. Did anything change?
