Minnesota lawmakers are supporting a strike on Jan. 23, urging people to skip work, stay home from school and not go shopping for the day. More on why they support the strike here:
To make national news all it needs to do is shut down the airport. Prolonged shutdown of airports does far more damage to the politicians and wealthy than it does to average people which is why republicans are so afraid of it.
A one day strike will absolutely test what kind of power is being weilded by the public.
The perfect demonstration was the last government shutdown. The Dems were willing to let their constituents literally starve, but once the shutdown started affecting the airports, and their wealthy campaign donors couldn’t move their operatives around the country, the Dems folded in 48 hours, and got NOTHING.
It was the final last straw for me. It perfectly illustrated who the Dem leadership works for. Time for The Hook for the MAGA comedy act of Schmuck & Hakeem.
The military can’t replace commercial flight crews. They can maybe fill in for air traffic controllers but if flight attends, pilots or TSA strike there’s no flights. The military lacks an analog for tsa and flight attendants, and pilots have to be approved for specific planes.

Well the current budget expires at the end of the month. Lets see if Tim Kaine’s retiring ass will defect again to provide more funding to ICE.
I suspect this government would use a strike at airports as an excuse to take it over with military, going by the air traffic controller strike way back when
