Railroad strike.

This does not look good for the Biden administration and Dems in Congress. It makes you wonder why it comes down to a desperate response to a deadline, a deadline everyone (insert Pelosi) has known about for quite a while.

Nice time to avert the attention of the public away from all the other issues. Congress will continue to kick the can down the road and keep the Government going with another spending stamp of approval, just like the last how many years?
Sorry to say, I don't trust ANY of them.

Back to the Railroad Union strike, it would be crippling for the economy and probably won't happen, but there are going to be a lot of pissed off union workers/voters, and not just railroad union members.

Keep in mind that AMTRAK would also stop running and that’d piss off many of the Christmas season travelers.

Since when do people ride Amtrack?

Since I’ve been a hobo.

I didn't even know it was still running, haven't seen one in years - but I don't get out much, and not near any RR lines.

And wasn't there a threat of a RR strike last year or so? Or was that trucks?

I do occasionally. Got relatives back East and the GF doesn't fly.

This should have a positive impact on the federal deficit!

Oh no, think of the Hobos!

Drake and Comanche power plants run on coal. Coal that is delivered by train. Colorado Springs and Pueblo would suffer greatly.

Martin Drake doesn't anymore.

I thought the Dems were pro-union? But now they're passing legislation in opposition to a legitimate union demand (paid sick leave).

But every Dem voter will still think Dems are staunchly pro-union. Mind boggling.
