@ImproveATC@SecDuffy@realDonaldTrump Lol, and what they actually got was hate, threats, and division. Oh you took a sick day on a 40+ day span... not a patriot and no bonus for you.
@pjb444@USDOTRapid@SecDuffy Philip is obviously ignorant, probably thinks ATC makes 180k to start and 400k on the high end like Duffy incorrectly stated recently. Really they make 50-60k to start and most only ever make around 130-140k.
@PattyMurray I think this whole fight has actually shown how terrible ACA is and how it was the cause of Healthcare cost getting out of hand. REPEAL ACA
@MariaPine10@RonWyden This is terribly incorrect. They can retire at 50 but thats with a much lower pension. They are mandatory retire at 56, you don't want someone old in this job. They do not get highest salary... it's around 40-45% of highest 3 adveraged out. Most make around 130k.
@SecDuffy Best way to attract good workers according to the federal gov: 1. Stagnated pay 2. Delay paychecks for undefined amount of time. 3. Lie about workers salaries, telling the public they make over 2x what they really do. 4. Threaten negitive action if they are sick.
@Taylor259251572@SecDuffy Yea... this is not quite true. You think a young controller straight out of college or military making 50-60k has money saved up? No they don't, and thats not even the point. They should never miss a paycheck, no one should when they do the work, your argument is asinine.
@EricRenfro@SecDuffy Stupid idea, ATC has been understaffed for decades because of that... and your fix it to fire more? Plus they are not striking at all... the news is just reporting on things that have been an issue for years.
@SecDuffy@USDOT You fucking straight up lied about what we make, more than doubling the reality. You say you want the best and brightest but you treat the workforce like you want to hire the exact opposite. Staffing sucks.. maybe make it a good place to work again. This career used to be good.
@allenanalysis Thats robbery. The ACA is failed.. how the fuck does it cost that much!? Its that expensive BECAUSE we subsidized it. Trump is actually right here I guess.
@amyklobuchar So... aca is that expensive!? Are you kidding me! You post this like we should subsidized it... but now I'm thinking we should repeal it fully. Thats crazy overpriced and crappy.
@RubenGallego Wait... if thats true then why the heck would anyone want ACA as Healthcare insurance? You're telling me this whole time we have been subsidizing a large portion of that with federal tax money? That's SUPER overpriced... ACA needs to go!
