I heard that the rest of the world has established “GO FUND ME” to build a wall to keep a certain someone (have to keep it apolitical folks) within the U.S. border.

Of course, I am referring to our fellow pilots that have no sympathy for the plight of our fellow aviation workers, and our fellow Americans, the TSA Agents.

While I have had some bad experiences with certain TSA agents in my time, the overwhelming majority were respectful, if not downright pleasant. I realize that this is not always the case, but when ANY fellow American is faced with the prospect of losing their ability to house and feed their family, they definitely deserve our respect and sympathy.

The fact that I even have to post this is downright sad....
Sorry I consider the tsa a fellow aviation worker as much as I consider the janitor a fellow aviation worker. I’ve got other friends who work in the federal government (park rangers) and it’s just part of the gig. They get great benefits and this comes with the territory. Tsa is one of the biggest jokes of our federal budget.

I'm sorry that you disdain TSA agents as much as you disdain janitors. Not everybody can be a rockstar pilot like you.

Not getting paid and being used as a political pawn is in the job description?

Can you imagine what would happen if pilots stopped getting paid and people called them worthless and overpaid? Man, you would have to rename this snowflake central.

Can you imagine getting a retirement for life after two years of service? The TSA does.

While this initial amount is a small pension just imagine a small pension from every part time job you ever had.

Not sorry.

And how much training did they have to get that job?

Something tells me you got that stat from a less than reputable source. Here is what I found on the OPM.
