At the same time, Transportation Secretary Drew Lewis organized for replacements and started contingency plans. By prioritizing and cutting flights severely (about 7,000), and even adopting methods of air traffic management that PATCO had previously lobbied for, the government was initially able to have 50% of flights available.[4]\n\nOn August 5, following the PATCO workers' refusal to return to work, the Reagan administration fired the 11,345 striking air traffic controllers who had ignored the order,[13][14] and banned them from federal service for life. In the wake of the strike and mass firings, the FAA was faced with the difficult task of hiring and training enough controllers to replace those that had been fired. Under normal conditions, it took three years to train new controllers.[1][page needed] Until replacements could be trained, the vacant positions were temporarily filled with a mix of non-participating controllers, supervisors, staff personnel, some non-rated personnel, military controllers, and controllers transferred temporarily from other facilities. PATCO was decertified by the Federal Labor Relations Authority on October 22, 1981. The decision was appealed but to no avail,[15] and attempts to use the courts to reverse the firings proved fruitless.[16]\n\nThe FAA had initially claimed that staffing levels would be restored within two years; however, it took closer to 10 years before the overall staffing levels returned to normal.[1]\n\nSome former striking controllers were allowed to reapply after 1986 and were rehired; they and their replacements are now represented by the National Air Traffic Controllers Association, which was certified on June 19, 1987, and had no connection with PATCO. The civil service ban on the remaining strike participants was lifted by President Bill Clinton on August 12, 1993.[17] Nevertheless, by 2006 only 850 PATCO strikers had been rehired by the FAA.[8]\"\n\n\nI imagine Reagan was laughing so hard at the union when they endorsed him.

You'll be stuck in that trap. \n\nIf you want to explain his world view to them it's pretty easy. He uses a materialist analysis as a lens to view political issues through the world: i.e. who has power, who controls the resources, who controls the means of production. Gaza for example, his viewpoint would be that the IDF and Israeli government control the resources and territory, have military superiority and wield it to control the lives of those with less access to those resources and power. They have less rights than Jewish Israelis under the state's control and have their homes destroyed/taken away regularly in an oppressive fashion. Using that analysis, you don't need to consider religion or historical context, you can see who's oppressed and who's not simply from the division of resources and power. This can be applied to any conflict, any subgroup, any issue as long as you apply materialist analysis to find a moral stance that corrects for inequality.

A nice meal, a cool car, a house that his family can live in, friendships, video games. \n\n \nIt's important not to fall into the pitfall of having to explain socialism though, because you'll just get frustrated.

He literally complained ab dems using courts to keep him off the ballot. But, regardless, these dynamics in the new race are excellent. \n\nDA vs convict. Strong pro-choice woman vs weak anti-choice man. True unity (no open con.

However, for the first time in months i am excited ab the prospect of another four years without a nazi going bananas in the oval office. \n\nShe has to own him in the debate (if he pussies out they gotta air millions of ads calling him a pussy for only debating gramps). She has to pick a good VP-i like Kentucky gov too, but there are several options. But she is 19 yrs younger than Trump and his campaign’s done all the leg work in expressing how important a cogent and younger executive is. He’s fucked himself and this is the single best decision from the biden admin in months if not ever. \n\nSrry for rant. Just not a doomer for the first time in ages and no longer have to cringe at every utterance of Bidens demented brain. Plus she did air out desires for a ceasefire before biden. But time will tell if shes any different. I hope so at the very least. And that hope is different. The US could end up like those EU nations if we keep some momentum.
