like god it's so stupid, i hate how well it fits. the pressure point is *time*. they *have* to respond quickly to the demand, because if they don't, their flight is, at best, delayed. and they cannot abide a fucking minute of vacation missed.

In my home town, a lot of progress was made by a single person with a few cartons of eggs. Any time the mayor or city council was being shit, they would get their cars and houses egged. Or sometimes their mailboxes filled with dog shit.

In a similar vein, the "truckers protests" always make national or even international news, even when no one really knows or cares what they're about.

I wonder how much this has to do with how many black Escalades simply do not obey traffic laws in downtown DC anymore. They're all speeding around turning right on red out of the left lane off of Pennsylvania Avenue constantly
