Ya make the fuckers pay for the special treatment. You shouldn't just get it because you are rich.
But if I kiss their ass maybe I can ride on their cost tales.
Or maybe even their coattails.
"According to their SkyMiles status" - which they have plenty of, due to all their commuting back and forth to their home districts. I mean, it's a nice start, I just wish they'd get stuck in economy with the rest of us.
lol, you misunderstand though, they are not one of us.
If only we all treated everyone like this, in accordance with their SkyMiles status.
This was MLKs dream
I’m really not sure how it’s aged otherwise, but the premise of Jennifer Government is built around a concept that is not-unlike your joke.
It’s cyber punk so basically the goverment has collapsed or been severely weakened and people take the last names of their Employer (e.g. Deacon Soros) and society has basically coalesced around these few Alliance Loyalty Programs; each with their own complicated agglomeration of corporate partnerships behind them, competing against each other much the way nation states do today.
I think the author eventually became better known for the online game he made, NationStates.
So they are boycotting so an agency of human rights violators gets funding?
Came here to post this:
They are boycotting Congress because they want the Gestapo working. “🖕human rights” —Delta Airlines
I think they want the TSA to get funding, and I bet they're pretty agnostic re: ICE funding
The boycott seems to be in favour of TSA which is also a human rights violation agency, the one I meant in the first place.
They realize more people will put up with tsa than long lines or ice agents
Yeah right, like we all have the same experience as the wealthy. This just takes off the fancy label for congress critters, not benefits from being moneyed.
Perks cut? When will it end.
Minor inconveniences for members of Congress > illegal arrest and imprisonment for the rest of us.
