    Are you referring to the train workers? Whom he got the exact bargain they wanted a month or two later?

    The federal minimum wage requires an amendment from Congress. Not sure what that has to do with him?

    Biden is the one who got a bunch of health care and medicaid expansions done over the past 3 years. Are you complaining about the multiple states revoking those expansions a couple months ago? Because, yes, that’s bullshit, but it is the exact opposite of what Biden has been doing.

      He did not get their exact bargain because they werent allowed to bargain. They got less than what they couldve, later than if they were allowed to strike, and all future negotiations are poisoned by the precedent of not being allowed to strike. What fucking leverage do they have then?

      The president can introduce and promote legislation, and its been involved in previous wage increases. Hes been silent of course.

      Not months ago, many years ago, a hole of millions of uninsured Americans Biden promised to address. And its been nothing.
