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?

Last time they had a strike, '91, congress stopped it within hours. Same thing this time is my guess. Looks that way however, Congress doesn’t control everybody. It’s good information with what is coming. lol

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

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.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

You'd think the Biden administration would be doing back flips over having a strike. Their not burning diesel fuel. To heck with economy. They're inside a warm safe house playing with They're Electric Train sets
