Where are all the environmentalists weenies regarding these large data centers that are using millions of gallons of water for cooling, megawatts of power, and cause tens of thousands of tons carbon to be emitted by power plants daily?
They seem oddly silent on the subject.
It’s just people calling off sick.
Odd coincidence.
And it is orchestrated, or at least condoned and encouraged, by the TSA management….they want to “spread the pain” to get their funding restored.
=Oddly, during the last real budget battle, The TSA folk didn’t call off en masse. Strange, that
This time, I believe Trump wants it to happen also.
The only reason the TSA “Agents” are calling off is because they believe they can get away with that sort of behavior. So far, they have.
And if the TSA cannot man a checkpoint at an airport, then they demonstrate that they aren’t needed, so they folks can get on those airplanes without TSA interreference. The TSA (or lack thereof) should not case an airport to close.
Either show up and demonstrate that you job is needed, or don’t.
If they fired a few for not showing up for work, I bet the absentee rate would drop….precipitiously.
Sorry, the Free Ice Cream Machine is broken.
I am juggling cat and alligators.
Talk amongst yourselves. Feel free to post your own wordz of wisdom in the comments.
Be nice and one per customer please.
I will likely not be able to check the spam trap until late Wed evening, after my Parole Board hearing…..
Man abandons puppy outside of airport when told he could not fly with him
Left him go outside in the departure area. Lucky the dog wasn’t run over.
Some people just need their asses beat because of who they are. Then again for what they do.
8:5 people would volunteer to take a swing at Mr Omar Perez of Texas. Some might even pay for the chance.
What an asshole
How about, instead of retasking ICE to the airports, you give the TSA agents an ultimatum:
“Back to work or GTFO, turn in your uniforms, we will mail you a check once the funding from congress happens. Your benefits (and job) terminate on Monday if you are not at work”
And that goes for all the managers at the TSA that are allowing the “sick outs” ….up to and including Acting Administrator is Ha Nguyen McNeill. Unless these administrators have a memo dated at least a week ago protesting the allowance of the call offs, they too should be tossed out…..from the bottom to the top. Remove the rot and get people who will do the job as they should. Or shut down the TSA, I really don’t think we need them anyway and there are better places to spend the money they cost. Let the airlines pay for private security at the airports. It’s not all that hard to look for guns, knives, and hand grenades….
Either the TSA folks go back to work Monday, or gut the agency. Start over (or consider eliminating it, if you can) with people that want to work….the pay is decent if not great, and the benefits are awesome. If these TSA folks don’t want to work, others will. Fire anyone who does not report to their shift on Monday.
ICE doesn’t belong in the airports, they aren’t trained to do the job, and they are (mostly) failed police officers. I’d rather see you bring in the National Guard than ICE.
Don’t tell me “It isn’t that simple”…it IS that simple. They work for the American people, paid for by our tax money. If they aren’t gonna do the job, fire them. That’s the way it works for the rest of us, and that’s the way it should work for these people as well.
Firing people worked for Reagan, and it will work here.
Happy future birthday to James Tiberius Kirk
And to William Shatner, who (most fortuitously) shares his birthday 94 years ago and 198 years in the future
Much like Mark Twain, I will not attend the funeral, but I will send a card saying I approve.
It isn’t his partisan investigation witch hunt for “Russian Collusion” (which was pretty bad and for which he should have been prosecuted) but rather the thing he turned the FBI into after 9-11…his part in creating and controlling the Department of Homeland Security and what he did with the FBI. For that, I cannot help but hope he gets his just reward….and does not pass the Pearly Gates.
In case you haven’t heard (I was busy yesterday and didn’t hear until late last night), Chuck Norris died .
‘Tis said the devil offered to step aside and allow him to take his place, but Chuck declined and is headed in the other direction.
A good actor, and from what I hear, a good man. The world is a little less great today because he is gone.
