#StaffingShortage triggers a ground stop this morning affecting #LAX flights
This is what ⭕ended the Jan 25 2019 #shutdown, the #FAA and the airline employees (see Wikipedia info, image ALT TEXT)

![On January 25, 2019, Trump endorsed a stopgap bill to reopen the government until February 15 to allow for negotiations to take place on an appropriations bill.[15] However, he reiterated his demand for border wall funding and said that he would shut down the government again or declare a national emergency and use military funding to build the wall if Congress did not appropriate the funds by February 15.[15][16] With a veto-proof majority, both houses of Congress passed an appropriations bill on February 14 that included $1.375 billion for 55 miles of steel fencing along the border. The following day, Trump declared a national emergency to fund the wall, after being unsatisfied with the funding in the appropriations bill.[17]
The end of the shutdown on January 25 occurred several hours after the Federal Aviation Administration was forced to limit flights at several major airports due to a high incidence of sick leave taken by air traffic controllers, who had been required to work during the shutdown without receiving paychecks. Though never claimed as a strike action,[18] the development was widely credited as precipitating the shutdown's end.[19][20]
Trump's approval rating dropped during the shutdown.[21][22] A majority of Americans opposed exploitation of the shutdown as a negotiating strategy and held Trump responsible for the shutdown: A CBS News poll found that 71% of Americans considered the border wall "not worth the shutdown"](https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/115/441/765/046/916/373/original/73dff899027dbd4b.jpg)

Across the country, Republican lawmakers have been working to undermine or altogether undo the will of the voters -- by making it harder to pass amendments and laws through citizen-led initiatives.
In #Missouri, the 2025 legislative session was dominated by Republican lawmakers trying to reverse two major measures that voters had put on the ballot and approved just months before;
one made #abortion in the state legal again, while the other created an employee #sickleave requirement.
GOP lawmakers in #Alaska and #Nebraska also have moved to roll back sick leave benefits that voters approved last year,
while legislators in #Arizona are pushing new restrictions on abortion access, despite voters six months ago approving protections
At the same time, Republican leaders in #Florida, #Utah, #Montana, #Arkansas, #Oklahoma, #Arizona, #Ohio, #NorthDakota and #SouthDakota have approved efforts to restrict citizen-led ballot initiatives or are considering measures to do so,
-- essentially trying to make it harder for voters to change laws outside legislatures.
In some cases, legislators aren’t just responding to measures that voters approved;
they’re acting shortly after citizen-led efforts failed but came too close for comfort,
such as an abortion-rights initiative in Florida,
which in November fell just short of the 60% of votes needed to pass
and loosen the state’s ban on the procedure.

I am in favor of a decent UBI because UBI would allow you to stay home with your flu stricken child or partner or other dependent - without fear of loosing your only income stream ❤️
