when the private air travel is hit with delays etc. then may someone will listen......
Cool so…there goes another possible upside
Air travelers should expect worsening cancellations and delays this week even as the government shutdown appears to be close to an end, as the Federal Aviation Administration rolls out deeper cuts to flights at 40 major U.S. airports, officials said Monday.

"So what was the point?
The point is the people who don’t get to give up. The families who cannot afford a single month without coverage. The parents counting on SNAP to feed their kids. The people who live paycheck to paycheck, who get sick, who need care, and who deserve dignity."

I’m sad and I’m furious. The Senate voted to reopen without securing healthcare protections. Millions still stand to lose coverage.
The fight shifts to the House now. There are cracks. Pressure matters. If you’re in a GOP district, call your Rep.

Disagree. Republicans are prepared to let people in the United States die by withholding food and access to medical care. They aren't yielding shit. They're psychopaths playing chicken that are all too happy to crash the car then blame the bystanders.
