    Are people seriously complaining about a President joining a strike picket line?!

    Jebus fucken christ you people are pathetic. No wonder no one listens to you clowns.

    The same dipshits that are trying to discredit Biden for somehow being out of touch will be praising Traitor Trump as if some billionaire from NY has any connection to regular folks.

      Remember when he blocked the rail strike right before a massive derailment caused by the very things the rail worker’s union was striking about?

      Pepperidge Farm remembers, because it’s under a slurry of contaminated mud in East Jerusalem.

        I’m just going to jump in here to correct some viral misinformation I’ve seen come up every time someone’s mentions the railroad strike before it comes up again in this thread - no Biden did not help them eventually get the sick days they were asking for

        US freight rail companies nearly spurred a nationwide railroad strike last fall by refusing to grant paid sick days, but in a surprise move welcomed by workers, those railroads have recently granted paid sick days to almost half their workforce.

        But the unions representing workers who operate the trains day to day, such as the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen, have had far less success reaching agreement on paid sick days.“The railroads went to the non-operating crafts first and cut a deal with them,” said Mark Wallace, first vice-president of the Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen. “If a carman [who inspects and repairs railcars] has to call in sick and doesn’t come to work, the train will still run. If the engineer or conductor has to call in sick, the train is probably not going to go that day.”

          Isn’t it interesting that the intersection of Biden and fascism is making the trains run on time? Mussolini would be proud.
