    Yeah but something something train workers who still got almost everything they were demanding anyways because Biden personally negotiated on their behalf after stopping them from striking leading to supply chain chaos right before the holiday season, quite possibly the single worst time imagineable for supply chain chaos.

    More leftist than thou types are gonna see Biden literally mandate buyouts of productive assets for transfer to the working class and will have a hissy fit about how he’s basically the same as the American Neo-Nazi movement because he didn’t seize the assets while lining the former owners up against a wall for mass execution to be watched by their families and loved ones who’s eyelids were surgically removed for the purpose of being able to force them to watch.

      The issue isn’t whether or not they ended up getting it, the issue is that the government will forcibly end strikes that are too dangerous to the economy. Yknow, the entire point of strikes.

      Luckily, it worked out this time. What needs to happen is the removal of the government’s power to end rail strikes in the first place.

          Yes, we were lucky that Biden was actually advocating for them. That’s what the lucky comment was about.

          What happens if the next time is under a GOP government? The power to do this shouldn’t exist in the first place.

        Like I said, “literally the same as hitler because he intervened to prevent supply chain chaos right before it would have done nothing for rail workers but get everyone unimaginably upset with them.”
