Taxpayers have bailed out U.S. airlines to sustain smooth air travel in the past and it'll be no surprise if we do it again.
But not today.
Today, it's not about keeping commercial travel easy; it's about equal protection under the law, due process of law, and keeping American democracy possible.
Suck it up ... that's what you expect people whose health insurance has been stripped from them to do ... it's what you demand when the moms and dads of trans kids demand you protect their parental rights ... it's what you've required of TSA workers and other federal aviation employees ... it's what Congress, right now, imposes on farmers, truckers, and commuters — all of us — by failing to put the brakes on this hellbent for holy war administration. Suck it up.
And, yes, of course I want TSA and federal aviation workers to be paid fairly and on time. That's not a gift to those who labor; it's nothing but right.
That said, there's too much on the line to give in to businesspeople whinging about long lines at the airport, and short term losses. We've always found a way to make that up in the end. Our bigger concern today is constitutional protections for everyone within our borders and protectorates.
Until we've done that ... Suck . It . Up.
