Sure. They are demanding a pay raise AND a guarantee against automation of jobs. Might deserve the former but who's going to commit economic suicide and guarantee the latter? In the meantime, they're f-ing everyone over, to include a fragile economy.

Unsurprisingly :rolleyes:


Biden has said he won't use powers under the Taft-Hartley Act to intervene in the labor dispute.

He really, really, really wants a cease fire from Israel, how's that working out. He is really, really serious and means it, no joke!

That is a little surprising. Unsurprising that he's kowtowing to unions but surprising that he's not stabilizing the economy ahead of the election.

Maybe he's not so fond of Kamala?

We already know he doesn't mind tanking the economy and Dems don't hold him/Dems accountable. He only has to hold off the economy for a month. With the MSM running screen for him? He's not going to chance losing the longshoreman union votes for the overall, long-term good of the nation.

Newsweek tries to be subtle but it isn't. They've got a Leticia James story per day of who she's suing now for what - all leftwingtard causes.
