As a union nurse (1199) I can assure you all that the travelers making lots of money is NOT the problem, and is only happening rn because for the first time in decades, it is an area where workers are so desperately needed, yet so scarce, that they can basically name their rate and have it honored. This is scaring the shit out of the people at the top, and they want to nip it in the bud before other peasants start to catch on

If you have a SLAY KWEEN (D) rep or a Marjorie Taylor Green adjacent chud rep(R), they are both likely on this
It's a reference to Britain losing control of the Suez Canal post WWII when Egypt tried nationalizing it then the US came in and took it and did not give it back, it's more or less a seminal event that signals a previous empire is no longer ascendant
Probly the fall of Taiwan then. Or just Panama handing over the canal to China lol
Either would be amazing to witness
