    People being forced to work without pay is slavery. No one deserves to be a slave, even if they’re normally paid to do something and that something is not useful.

      It’s sad that this is apparently a unique take. Sure, “fuck giant corporations”, I agree. But pay the fucking workers who literally do everything.

        Nobody is forcing them to take security theater jobs oppressing other people. Even the workers can get fucked imo.

          Work is work. They’re patting down people and scanning x-ray screens. If you disagree with the TSA, vote to abolish it. Until then, requiring that department to work without pay only affects the Working Class.

            I don’t get to make the decision either way. But I know that they couldn’t be out there humiliating disabled people if working class people refused to take those jobs.

            Just because they’re poor fucks like the rest of us doesn’t mean they aren’t pieces of shit, just like the police.

            I guess if all you do is worship at the altar of the dollar bill and have no morals then this is a logical argument to make.

              Or, you know, have children that rely on you.

              But yeah, fuck them. Let them eat cake. They’ll be fine.

                You’re acting like it’s the only job in the world. Maybe don’t have kids if the only way you can put food on the table is by ruining air travel for 100% of people?

                  Sure, people can just un-have kids. That’s how the universe works.

                  Also, I don’t know if you’ve ever tried to find a job, but they don’t grow on trees.
