I’m not sure if I should be worried or excited that the country can be crippled by shutting down the railroad.

How about you?

I like railroads. Not sure that I need to worry my pea sized brain about it being shut down. LOL.

Last time they had a strike, '91, congress stopped it within hours. Same thing this time is my guess.

Yup the strike won't last more than an hour and be forced back to work by Congress....what you will see is employees dragging there feet. A job that normally takes 1 hour will take all day now!

Looks that way however, Congress doesn’t control everybody.

It’s good information with what is coming. lol

You'd think the Biden administration would be doing back flips over having a strike. Their not burning diesel fuel. To heck with economy.

40 years ago 90% of freight was hauled by long haul truckers. I hope they do strike. Strike long enough that warren Buffet loses his contract to haul what ought to be going through the keystone pipe line

Hoping for a strike also. Maybe that will get the people's attention.

They're inside a warm safe house playing with They're Electric Train sets

Congress ain’t gonna let that happen.

Maybe not but it is a bad flu season this year. Lol

The Hobo's will be "bummed" out.

You ever see the movie" Emperor Of The North " with Lee Marvin and Ernest Borgnine in it? Being a rail road guy,,if you haven't seen it,,You should check it out.

I will take your word for it.

Yes good movie.
Borgenine was a mean sob in that show.
When he tied that big heavy bolt to a line and ran it under the train to bounce off the ties and beat the hobos that rode the rods under the train.

I figured you probly had seen it.

Ol sniffy passed it on to the congress, I saw yesterday. That way he can claim he was behind the unions all the way. How can any normal thinking person think that he is worth a 25% increase in his wages. Talk about inflationary!

Watched it about a week ago. Saw it many times before. Great movie! Lee Marvin and Ernest Borgnine are super!

Before I make my decision on the worker's request, I'd like to see their present benefit schedule. They may or may not already have ample employee benefits.
