I'll just leave this right here...

 










Fort Worth Star-Telegram, 7/13/22: Railroad workers union members vote 99.5% to authorize a July 18th nationwide strike.

If they do go on strike, that should do wonders for supply and demand, nationwide, and really help out with things like gas, oil, and food supplies on store shelves.

Whereas meeting their demands will likely just jack inflation up some more.

Nothing to worry about either way, amirite?

They think it's sticking it to Sir Topham Hatt but he's on the beach in Maui with well paid Super Models.

Well, here we go. On time trains to run what is left of the country and our sanity straight into the pits of Hell. It's almost like it is planned. By the time the workers are "negotiated" into a new contract, trains will not be worth running. I foresee our newly imported weasels ripping tracks straight out of the ground for firewood, resale on the steel, and declaring sovereignty over the land. There will not be anything to put on the trains because farmers will be broke, manufacturing will be dead, and diesel will be gone.
I think it is time to start the party. Notify Claire. Let's start with the District of Criminals. They want an insurrection, let's give them one. Right now we are the squeaky toy, time to move up to being the dog. And yes, I am cranky.

How far will they go? Buffet owns wayyyyy too much to allow this to keep going.

Also of note, since the pipeline fiasco (can't build 'em) lots of oil, millions of barrels, flows via train.

They are useful and productive, so they have something to strike about. Don't you wish you were as valuable? Or do you think that they should wait to be screwed over like the California truckers?

Well We Americans haven't thought much of what the British have said since 1776

I didn't say anything about their right to strike.

I said exercising it is about to feed you a footlong sh*t sandwich.
