A successful rail strike would have emboldened the working class

And other jokes I tell myself to beat back the existential dread…

Seriously tho, it would have shutdown a shit ton of manufacturing for a while, and that would cause prices to skyrocket AGAIN. And do you really think the majority of Americans are smart enough to see that its workers fighting for their rights? No. They are going to bitch and moan and blame Biden anyway. Meanwhile I’d probably be out of a job as we barely survived the shortages from covid and another this soon would put us out of business. Think beyond your own goals, appreciate that what you feel is the right thing, could end with many losing their jobs. That is a burden that many cannot weather. Was it the ideal solution? No. But there is no such thing beyond fantasy. Besides, Brandon got them the stuff they wanted in the end anyway.
