Teachers First, Cops, ATC

This rash of stories about air traffic controllers and deleterious duty has me suspicious.  it doesn't just happen coincidentally that air traffic controllers are misbehaving.  If they are now, they always were, but before people let it slide.  It sounds like a crack down to me.

I know three teachers with seniority, one making $80,000 per year teaching grade school, and the others nearly as much, but not as much seniority.  After countless years of top ratings, they are being written up for infractions.  Two of them have ended their careers.  The third hopes to navigate the waters well and keep the job.

Cops are being portrayed in a negative light with increasing frequency.

Four kids can be hired at $20,000 each to replace one $80,000 teacher.  The powers that be are going after their expensive factotems.  Where will these people turn for help?  The republicans?
