Air traffic controller Jack Criss is now clearing takeoffs and takeout orders. The single dad took on a side gig as a DoorDash delivery driver during the second-longest government shutdown in modern history in order to make some extra cash and cover his daughter’s high school tuition.
For the past few weeks, air traffic controllers have been receiving partial pay – but next week, they’re expected to miss their first full paychecks as the funding lapse continues.
“It’s been incredibly difficult. You can feel the tension, and it’s heavy…and it hurts,” Criss said in an interview that aired on “CBS Saturday Mornings.”
As the government shutdown rolls into Day 25, Congress remains unable to strike a deal. The Senate failed to advance measuresThursday that would pay federal employees like Criss.
many public schools are bad due to poor funding, many are not. I do t blame any parent for wanting their kid to get a good education, but the more those who can simply turn to private schools, the less political will there is to fix public taxpayer-funded schools.
we have a so-so funded school in the 2000s, but most of the students are sitll struggling, because its not enough funding still. only a select few students each class/graduating class, are exceptional(gifted 4.0+earners), we know because they made big deal glorified meeting how these were the “Best” students and compared it the audienc whom are all struggling.
