Thank you President Biden for your strong leadership (again): "Biden administration reaches tentative deal to avert rail strike"

[From Ashes To Glory 2]

The importance of a possible railroad strike is difficult to overstate. American commerce is heavily dependent on freight trains, and if tens of thousands of rail workers were to walk off the job, the implications on supply chains would be dramatic.

It’s why the White House took the threat of a strike very seriously. It’s also why it’s good news that officials’ efforts appear to have succeeded. NBC News reported:

The White House has struck a tentative deal to avoid a rail strike that threatened major disruptions across the United States, with freight workers securing a key demand under its terms, President Joe Biden said Thursday morning. The tentative pact highlights the labor movement’s growing influence under an administration that has cast itself as a staunch ally of labor, and comes after business groups and political officials warned that a strike would disrupt passenger services and cripple supply chains.

As part of the agreement, reached in the early hours this morning, rail workers will receive long-sought benefits. NBC News’ report added that employees “will for the first time be able to take unpaid time off work for routine preventive medical care, union leaders said in a statement. There will also be exemptions from attendance policies for hospitalizations and surgical procedures — a key sticking point in negotiations. The new agreement provides rail workers with an additional paid personal day a year without the fear of discipline.”

Biden became ‘animated’ in rail talks, with a tentative deal taking shape soon after

President Biden became "personally animated" about the need for improved rail workers' benefits. A tentative agreement took shape soon after.

Did your mom ever tell you if you don't have anything intelligent to say it is probably best to say nothing at all?

And there goes that name-calling you protest to others about doing...

Let’s see my dollar was worth more worth more while Trump was in office and I had more of them.

Biden has been in DC for over 40 years.

My mom disagrees. Lifelong Democrat. She said Trump did more and went to bat more for the average American that just about anybody she can remember. She says Democrats have lost their way and are nuts. I agree with her.

What happened at the end of Trump s presidency ? If he was so great why wasnt he reelected? lost by 7 million votes and lost in landside and then lied and denied it and caused an insurrection. could his early success not have been because of the after effects of the Obama administration?

Because they used covid against him and rigged it in metro areas such as Philadelphia, Milwaukee, Atlanta, etc. It doesn't matter what the vote count is totally across the contry. The goal is to win states. You win close states by controlling the metro areas in Democrat run machines(not actual machines but political ) without much oversite and ballot control. It is about winning states and electoral control. The fix was in for 2 years.

Covid just helped it. We don't elect Presidents by popular vote.

We should elect Presidents by the popular vote . Covid was not rigged against him it was handling of covid that cost him the election. Large cities usually have large minority populations and that is why the voting is heavily democatic in those cities. There was no rigging going on he simply lost because of poor leadership in a time of crisis.

We should not elect president by popular vote. That would be ludicrous and give power to a few states. That would be destruction of the excutive branch. Do you want California and New York electing every President? Forming up against the other states? That is why it is in place.

Remember the media told him the electoral college is bad so he has to parrot that.

Who are you responding too and what are you saying?

 

[OldielovesHerd]

Who are you responding too and what are you saying?

I am responding to any Trump follower who will listen. I am saying that Trump is losing some of his followers. They no longer support him and want a different kind of Republican for their President.

 

[OldielovesHerd]

Remember the media told him the electoral college is bad so he has to parrot that.

I have never been for the electoral college. Majority of votes should decide the winner of any race. It does in other elections.

One thing a popular vote would do would be for better Republican candidates so you would not have the bushes, the Trumps and the other yay hoos running. Also it would possibly end this nonsene idea of trickle down economics.

Bless your heart...

Yes. We see how your "trickle up" economics has been working this year. Everyone loses.

 

[raleighherdfan]

I have never been for the electoral college.

So you are a fan of China, Russia, Venezuela politics. Interesting.

 

[OldielovesHerd]

Yes. We see how your "trickle up" economics has been working this year. Everyone loses.

Was 2021 not a great year for the economy and stocks? It will be again and when it turns back up it will do very quickly so dont be so discouraged about the economy or the stock market. And stop blaming Biden for all the inflation problems now as their are several reasons for it.

 

[raleighherdfan]

Was 2021 not a great year for the economy and stocks?

It only took about a year for Mush to undo all that was chugging along. Congratulations??????
Let me remind you, You were the one celebrating “trickle up”…. This is what it looks like.

yes, one day…long after you and Mush Brain are gone…..the economy will turn around…..if your liberalism hasn’t totally extinguished it

 

[i am herdman]

Joe Biden probably will take credit for inflation only being at 8.x % instead of 9%.

You will see a much quicker turnaround than that a huge stock market rally will ensue . History will repeat itself. Still dont understand why you people insist that all this inflation was caused by Biden.

We have had a carpenter who thinks he's an expert on all things and now we have a retired janitor. It's clear that Pullman has now come full circle.

Yeah that Obama economy that was stagnant for eight years proved that
