Government Shutdown

The power to end the government shutdown is not with Trump, Pelosi, Schumer or Congress.

The power is with the Air Traffic Controllers who are not being paid. Some are already calling in sick. Others are said to be quitting. The Air Traffic Controllers' Union is already suing Trump as of 11 January.

That is enough.

All controllers need to give a 24-hour announcement that they will no longer work without pay. That is time time needed to make sure the airways are cleared both in the US and flights to the US.

With all air traffic non existent, business would scream so loudly never mind the people who need and want to travel, that the government would have to respond and reopen the government.

Yes it would be costly, but so is the stupid shutdown.
