If ATL airport is rough for travelers, it's even worse for many of the workers. One of the people in my book, Cass, works the graveyard shift mopping floors and cleaning bathrooms.
She's kept at 29 hours a week because at 30 she'd qualify for health insurance and sick leave.

this is why people very far into the upper middle class should support building out a proper welfare state like @reprashida.govpeeps.us proposed the other day. you'd pay just a little for a tremendous amount of material security www.peoplespolicyproject.org/2025/11/20/r...
Rep. Tlaib’s Economic Dignity for All Agenda Would Bring Economic Security for Millions
The agenda would lower poverty by 42% and child poverty by two-thirds.

It is simply murder, for Republicans to get in power and immediately stab the most vulnerable people in the back with a 9 inch long knife, and then Democrats acting like pulling it out an inch or two is an impossibly ambitious task worthy of praise.
