    Railroading. Not the next day, but probs pretty quick. There’s a reason Biden nipped the railroad strike in the bud, and my theory as to why he’s trying to build up the “pro-union” image again before the election - he really screwed labor in that move.

      Maybe you missed the part where he went back and fulfilled that promise to get the railroad workers sick days.

        He got them a few and far far less than they asked for.

          But he did go the extra mile. Credit where due. Tfg would have thrown towels at them.
