Keep going! The writer's strike succeeded and I believe the UAW strike will too. It's a fucking crime that the rail workers didn't go on strike, Congress be damned.

And miss me with that "b.. but Biden came back and negotiated sick days for them!" Horseshit. He got them a pitiful FRACTION of the days they asked for, and didn't address any of their other demands whatsoever. Such as ending Precision Scheduled Railroading, which may have been a factor in the East Palestine disaster.

There's been a weird narrative going around even on Lemmy every time this is mentioned that somehow Biden was actually a genius in that and everyone won.
