Unpaid TSA Workers play uncensored rap music in airports

Hmmmmm... like not caring about if people have to work for no pay?
I don't listen to the radio. I remember watching some rap videos, around 2004, in which numerous rappers used highly gendered slurs, and referred to themselves as pimps with evident pride. I stopped listening to rap, it was too blatantly toxic to sustain.
So how did it go for you?
I mean.... I get you have kids, but do you really think that your kids don't listen to this stuff at school with their friends?
Your kids are likely the in the Fortnite generation. They're dancing the dances in these rap videos lol.
I was unaware the TSA controlled the radio at airports.
Your kids will survive a little naughty language. But fair warning if you take them to the airport to have them wear earmuffs. I'd rather these TSA people protest and blow off a little steam this way than by not doing their jobs or quitting.
So, air traffic controllers are still working I presume? Imagine if they just said fuck it and left in unicen? Yikes
Their kids are probably starving to death because they haven't been paid in 25 days
Who cares about your goddamn kids
It would take them forever as they would have to hire new people, train them (who would even train them if you're firing everyone) and that's too much time the airlines would be losing money.
Last time that happened, under Reagan, he fired them all and banned them from serving as ATC for life. :(
Their kids are probably going to be homeless soon but it's ok as long your kids don't hear cussing I guess.
They absolutely need to do that
The government would be open by the weekend if TSA or air traffic controllers all just took a few sick days off at the same time
"I'm getting screwed, so fuck everybody else!" That sounds like such a backwards way of thinking.
Also you're screwing with the wrong person. That parent is paying taxes for your childish ass, it's the president and all the people surround him that are preventing you from getting that money.
For the record, I have a daughter and I don't want her to listen to that when she's young but I'd understand this situation. The problem is how you suddenly don't give a shit about other people because you're not getting paid. That's not how society works.
oh no jimmy might hear fuck
way more important than people possibly getting evicted and having their credit fucked up
I bet you were also angry your football games were being disrupted
How fast do you cross the street when Black guys are approaching you?
totally fine, because i'm a well-adjusted adult who can consume media without falling to the floor, pearls firmly clutched, as the result of catching the vapors because a black guy said some dirty words
My kids have parents who get paid to work. These saints coming to a shit job not knowing when they'll get paid can play whatever the fuck they want.
Protesting and being convenient for others is incompatible. It should make people uncomfortable. Kids hearing cuss words won't drive them to suicide but it will make the parents uncomfortable. At most kids hearing cuss words will repeat the words. So what. More than likely they won't even remember it. I say be disruptive as possible without physical violence. So yes there's a lot of things I'm game for in the spirit of protest.
Same. Id do it even if I were getting paid and I could get away with it.
Good for you. I'm now somewhat aware that I've stepped on a third rail, and I apologise for that. But guys, I won't apologise for feeling disgust at overt misogyny.
it's a protest. they'd still inconvenience people if they just left their jobs. at least this way people are still getting on planes. the things children, who aren't even their's, hear is the least of their concerns.
You aren't supposed to like it.
Man, wtf is up with you guys.
I don't want my 5 and 7 year old exposed to explicit content while in a public place, so obviously I want people to starve and lose their homes? Y'all need a reality check.
You think playing this music over the loudspeakers is what is going to stop the shutdown? You think they're really going to change someone's mind? Nah. If you want to protest, protest. This is just being a jackass.

Or you know they could respect the public that has nothing to do with this shutdown.
Why can't people just protest in a way that keeps me completely unaware that they're protesting??!?!
This. If they protested on the streets and caused traffic people would be throwing a shit fit. Get over it.
That threat is toothless. When Reagan did it the government was paying the replacements. They can't get replacements if they aren't paid....unless they are terrorists, infiltrators, and criminals of more mundane variety, like drug dealers and human traffickers.
Playing bad words over the loud speaker is not protesting in any practical way.
The people you need listening to you the most aren't at that airport most likely.
I understand how protests go, and again, I would also be ok with this happening. The only thing I said is that the mentality of "I'm not getting paid, fuck your kids" is weird. As in, literally stating that out loud. If it happens as a side effect, eh...
Also playing rap music is a dumb protest imo, but hey (and I do like rap, never mind that). Not showing up at work would be one hell of a better protest and get the point across faster.
"Please protest here in this corner so it doesn't inconvenience me"
lol
Pretty sure a large portion of the public voted for the assholes that support this shutdown.
You like your misogyny a bit more hidden like in rock music right?
The protest is designed to inconvenience everyone. If the shutdown continues, you're going to see more and more of it.
Honestly, just let the weird dude at work control the aux and this whole shutdown will be wrapped up in a couple days.
Let's see how the common folk enjoy the musical stylings of Merzbow and Sunn O))).

Let's see how long they last listening to an all-Skrillex playlist.
