A man with a history of not paying workers is planning to not pay workers.

why would he, he always think people poorer than him as suckers and losers.

Time for air traffic controllers to walk off the job.

That would be nice if they did that in solidarity with other federal workers, but ATC isn't furloughed, they're working. So they'll get paid.

All the more reason to call in sick. This STABLE GENIUS is really playing the long game for ATC hiring.

This doesn't have anything to do with ATC, they aren't furloughed. They're working still, just not being paid.

Imagine if him a "very rich man" paid ppl out of his own pocket. But we all know what kind of person he is.
