Nice. So the Biden Administration and the unions are moving to a rail strike at the same time the trucking industry is under pressure because of diesel prices.

I'm sure just a coincidence.

Directive 10-289 lol

Our government and institutions are adversarial to our way of life.

They need to be flushed

Well that goes right along with the impending dock worker strike on the west coast.

Warning: Link is from a socialist site, but the news is not being reported anywhere.

Business groups demand Biden administration intervene to prevent any work stoppage on West Coast ports
https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2022/06/10/dock-j10.html

Terrified at the prospect of a dockworkers strike shutting down large sections of US supply chains, a group of large business associations led by the US Chamber of Commerce wrote a letter on June 8 to President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, demanding the White House “engage in the negotiations” in order to ensure “backups, delays, and inflationary costs are avoided.”

The letter warns that, “...even a relatively brief port slowdown or shutdown would compound current supply chain challenges and cause long-lasting damage to consumer confidence and American businesses.”

Signatories of the letter included the Retail Industry Leaders Association, which represents brands such as Target, Lowe’s, Best Buy and Walgreens, the American Apparel Footwear Association and the Travel Goods Association.

Our supply chain issues ain't nothin' yet!

Read the details of the story. It’s quite fascinating. The unions and the partisan hacks at the NMB did this to push it off onto Congress and force it to deal with it during the election season.

Teddy Roosevelt wouldn’t permit this and we have Teddy’s opposite at the helm of the ship of state.

Unions have a long history of taking advantage of crises. Look through old newspaper articles of their activity during World War II. Awful people.

Good move. Between the rails and truck strikes, the diesel glut should explode.

But, wait. What about the supply chain and shortages? Oh. That’s just collateral damage and the price we have to pay for Brandon’s fix for the economy! Anyway, this is all Putin’s fault.

Way to go Brandon!

"So the Biden Administration and the unions are moving to a rail strike at the same time the trucking industry is under pressure because of diesel prices."

Time is running out - they have to totally crush the economy and embrace the ensuing chaos well before the November elections.

So they can control the outcome. Then the end begins in earnest.

AND he's trying to shut down air travel due to pollution and fossil fuels. I'm lucky I have enough land for a few horses.

Don’t dock worker and railroad worker Unionistas have families that need to eat, need TP, medicine and other basics?

Cargo ships are still bobbin’ around in the ocean too, aren’t they? Why not throw in a cargo airline pilot strike, too? Make it a trifecta!

Let’s Go, Brandon! *SPIT*
