My opinion doesn’t matter.
The union and the railroad thought it was reasonable.
My opinion doesn’t matter.
The union and the railroad thought it was reasonable.
The union and the railroad reached an agreement they both found acceptable.
The IBEW and BNSF Railway reached an agreement April 20 to grant members four short-notice, paid sick days, with the ability to also convert up to three personal days to sick days.
They asked for seven sick days, they got four plus three convertible personal days for an annual total of seven. That’s a reasonable compromise.
So to recap this sequence of events:
You’re mad at Biden because:
A bill that Congress passed preventing railroad workers from going on strike, because it put the good of the nation ahead of the good of the railroad workers.
Biden continuing to negotiate with the railroad unions for months afterwards.
The White House and the railroad unions agreeing to a compromise.
The unions voting to approve that compromise.
That about sum it up?
So you’re not mad at Biden for continuing to work with the Union to get a deal both sides would find acceptable, you’re really mad at the union for voting to accept that particular deal?
Except they did get those permanent improvements.
Even Biden sided with the railroad corpo’s over the union.
Yes, because at that time further supply chain disruptions would have been disastrous for Americans.
And what happened after that? The White House continued to work with the Union until they reached an acceptable compromise.
The economy didn’t take another hit, the union is happy, and Internet commenters can cry “Corpo Biden!” with no included context as to what happened.
The billionaire who inherited millions from his dad and lived in a gold-plated penthouse in NYC and has been sued multiple times for not paying his contract work really understands the plight of the working man, you know?
Take your pick
“I’m not going to go to some backwoods country and tell them how to live their lives,”
What a weird thing for someone who served* in Iraq to say.
*Vance served in Iraq the same way he fucks couches: from the rear.
A middle-manager consultant somewhere just got rock hard and has no idea why.
Which would be worse for him: someone actually trying to do so as a result of said post, or realizing that no one wants to because no one cares enough about him?
“The Earth’s atmosphere is approximately 78% nitrogen and 21% oxygen” is both a true statement, and utterly irrelevant to the subject at hand.
The topic was that society’s hostility towards women have made younger women voters identify as liberal at higher rates than previously, not how men are being oppressed/repressed/left behind/failed/whatever verb you want to use here. There are appropriate places to have that discussion; this topic isn’t one of them.
You made this?
…I made this!
The right has no appreciation for art, because art can be subversive and speaks truth to power. That’s why they miss the subtext involved (or in the case of Born in the USA, the literal text).
It wasn’t until the third season of The Boys before the right said “Wait, why is Homelander the bad guy? And why am I wrong for supporting him?” And the fourth season has the villains saying near-verbatim quotes from the right.
Can you drown from butt chugging!?
Other work honoured on the night included US research to house pigeons in missiles to help guide them to their targets
“The pigeon knows where it is at all times. It knows this because it knows where it isn’t…”
How did this one go from leftists in the early 2000’s who thought Bush and Cheney ignored intelligence to let it happen to unhinged conspiratorial right wingers spouting the same bullshit.
The exact same way that both the left and the right agree that Epstein didn’t kill himself, except one side thinks the AG of the then-current President who oversaw the DoJ and had connections to Epstein was responsible, and the other side thinks the presidential candidate that lost to Trump and retired from politics and has zero connections to the administration of the prison did it.
And to add insult to injury…
No, Nate is not part of 538 anymore. He now works for a crypto betting website partly owned by Peter Thiel.
I’ll let you decide how neutral that makes him.
Oh, so you’re not actually interested in the facts, you just want to stomp your feet and blame Biden.
Gotcha.
