The fastest way to end the federal government shutdown is to inconvenience the Billionaires. Are they affected by Headstart shutting down? Do they give a shit if their social security checks are late by a month? Of course not. Have they been impacted in any significant way by the shutdown?!

The air traffic controllers have been designated as essential government employees. So, let's furlough the air traffic controllers at just the private airports in the country. Make the Billionaires fly commercial for once. Make them stand in line with the rest of us, go through the irritation of airport screening, and stand in line again at the airport Cinnabun and down the cattle chute into the plane itself. The hassle of flying commercial will be so annoying to the Billionaires, they will lean on the House Republicans to end their publicity stunt. That's the key -- have the government shutdown negatively impact the Billionaires.
