    just a heads up, you should look into that rail thing again. the unions ended up getting alot of what they wanted because Biden’s admin did actually follow through with negotiations. definitely not cool, but also not the unambiguous support of corporations you seem to have interpreted it as. IBEW statement. there are people who are still unhappy, because capitalism sucks and they should be unhappy, but lots of railworkers got significantly improved working conditions out of it.

      It is good that the outcome came out better than it initially looked. But I have a really hard time understanding why a Democratic president couldn’t overtly and publicly support a union in the first place. Full stop.
