Thankful for our lack of train brake regulations and poor working conditions for rail workers on this blessed day 🦃 🙏 ❤️

Bonus: b-b-but what about our treats?
I want an emote of the bumbling male protagonist from the Kelly cartoons
You're viewing a single thread.
Never let liberals forget Biden broke the railroad strike.
What makes these worse is knowing there are more advanced brake systems that are mandated in Europe but we don’t have them here bc of regulatory capture
How would they have helped?
I'm genuinely asking. Brakes are mechanically a solved problem basically. Is it a maintenance thing?
The wiki article says it's about signaling, that I understand, is that what was meant by advanced brake systems? I'm far from a train nerd
Yeah there’s that system that I believe automatically slows trains down if they’re exceeding the safe speed of the track and then there’s the electronic braking which applies all the brakes at the same time
No. What you tankies don't ever say (probably because you're working for Putin) is that Biden and Pete worked quietly behind the scenes to get the unions what they wanted but without ruining Christmas with their mean-spirited strike designed to hurt Democrats in the midterms.
… is usually the first reply to that point and it's like nails on a chalkboard. Digging a little deeper into it reveals that this was not the case
.Everyone went back to brunch once the IBEW—a union that represents ~5% of the industry and doesn't even represent the train crews whose rank-and-file were intent on striking—did a press release praising Biden for a measly 4 sick days (that were watered down from the 14 the unions were initially striking for or the 7 in the PEB-sponsored agreement) and didn't address the insane precision rail scheduling and draconian attendance policies imposed by the freight carriers, nor is the new policy universal across all unions. It infuriates me to no end that the gaslighting operation was once again successful, just like with Covid/Covid checks and the infrastructure bill switcharoo. People believe that these things were well-managed by Brandon and the Dems and it drives me nuts. Like, these motherfuckers stripped workers of one of the central tools they have to fight for better conditions without breaking a sweat, then stuck them with a joke of a deal and proceeded to pat themselves on the back (amidst a catastrophic rail disaster, no less!). It's truly a sickening country.
But that one time Biden did a PR stunt on a picket line
He single-handedly won the UAW their contract!
Ur so right time to vote fash 🫡
Which one isn't the fash?
Ur so right time to vote fash 🫡
So is that a vote for Biden or Trump?
Idk dude it's super hard to tell
Just remember a vote for not-Trump is a vote for Biden
Some people engage with politics in other ways than the one way that is designed to be completely undemocratic; and more frequently than every 2 or 4 years.
joins ML instance
only lectures people on how to vote without providing any context, resources, or actual critique
So what's your deal anyway? Why don't you try posting on F*cebook? What are you trying to accomplish? Are you just a debate lord, or a masochist or some kind of operator? There has got to Be a better use of your time than debating literal anarchists and communists, any one of which likely dwarfs your political imagination with theory and praxis, on why they should vote for a capitalist party that is consciously and actively contributing to the mass-death of thousands of species including humanity.
