The strike here isn't about paying teachers. It's a strike by service workers - cafeteria workers, bus drivers, custodians and special education assistants - for their wages to be increased. Teachers are striking in solidarity, but not for their own wages.

I think that the service workers deserve to be paid a living wage as well, but it's not correct to call this a strike to get teachers paid a living wage.

Lots of people commenting on how it's sad, but my first thought was "it's the anniversary of me killing my mortal enemy. Time to piss on his grave again. Hah!"

Probably... Not what you were going for, but great gif, OP!

Thanks, but... this isn't an answer. I want to know why they get that amount.

Sorry if it seems like a silly question, but why does a public official get almost half a million in severance for being fired? I can understand getting your PTO cashed out - that was earned - but what's with that insane amount for getting canned?

I'll admit, I've only seen Alan Cummings in a few things, but he's always a hoot. Loved him in "Reefer Madness" and he was enjoyable in "Schmigadoon!" too. Haven't had much of a read on Traitors, but I may need to check it out!

Yes. Never seen anything else in the series and this one was a stand-alone that didn't require any extra information. Apparently there are some references to other episodes (B.A.N. is apparently a running gag of a fake network), but the episode itself doesn't require any other knowledge.

FWIW, my search algorithm has been all kinds of odd since watching it. I guess I'm not the typical Atlanta viewer, so now the algorithm doesn't know what to throw at me.
