      They did it to the air traffic controllers and a few other "critical" professions in the eighties, they could probably do it to all of the essential workers right now if they wanted to. Call it something especially dystopian like the "American Working Heroes Act".

        i definitely have heard about the air traffic controllers thing, where they just basically fired thousands of people, but that was reagan. everyone knew he didn't give a fuck. if biden tried to pull some shit like that he'd be massacred now.

            it only feels like that cause you think the consent being manufactured is somehow genuine, not your fault, they do a pretty good job with the propaganda. so many people are pissed off and can't afford to fucking live. there's gasoline everywhere and a spark is bound to happen.
