    This is only one of the many unions that voted. You’re just assuming they represent everyone.

    And you’re calling my posting performative. You don’t even know what the stakes were.

    Here’s a hint: safety and derailments were one of the issues, and would you look at that, derailments are still happening!

      I just think it’s weird that you get so riled up but don’t actually care about the human consequences of any of this at all. Literally all you care about is the internet take you have about it.

      That’s such a weird phenomenon.

        I think it’s weird that you’re accusing me of not caring about human consequences in a fucking thread about a train derailment!

        That is a human consequence of Biden breaking the strike. This is, in part, his fault for breaking a strike that the majority of workers wanted literally because the work they were doing was unsafe! I care about the human cost of fucking train derailments.

        You don’t. You only care about defending Biden. Again, you don’t even know the stakes. How dare you accuse me of not caring?

          This seems a stretch, to say the least.

            1. Workers voted to strike because their working conditions were unsafe due to under-staffing and lack of preventative maintenance.

            2. Biden broke the strike and forced them to accept their unsafe working conditions, under-staffing, and lack of preventative maintenance.

            3. As a direct result of unsafe working conditions and under-staffing and lack of preventative maintenance, a train derailed.

            How does that stretch your imagination?
