It really continuously amazes me how with our millions of laws written, how easily time and again, our very government still finds ways of tripping over their own feet, hosing up the whole nation, and yet, everyone in Washington stands around mouth open, slack-jawed, lost for worlds on how to fix anything.
Government has a contingency for everything except itself--- no provision on who has what power to do what if this branch or that branch does this or doesn't do that.
This is not rocket science people---
- You immediately cut all funding, pay and benefits to those refusing to restore government. Restore a functioning government, then you have 30 days to resolve a permanent solution or else.
- Individuals in government found to be purposefully blocking government not doing their jobs are removed from office, all pay and benefits cancelled.
- Beyond 30 days, you call an emergency meeting, borrow funds from another agency (Dept of Agriculture?) (Musk also offered to pay TSA), and/or send other people in (ICE, NG, etc.) to fill these positions.
Any employer in business has performance standards--- don't meet them and out the door you go, so why not government?
I cannot imagine it takes much brains nor training in order to feel up or x-ray passengers to board a plane.
Also, why can't they simply institute emergency procedures to speed the screening up? Stop wasting time worrying whether a grandmother with cancer in a wheelchair is a terrorist and focus on the young, male muzzies.
