      That’s the point, Biden is still a capitalist croney, he may have resolved the issue for these people, and for anyone who cares to look deeper he looks like the good guy for going on to get them their demands, but in the grand scheme he just silenced a large modern union movement and took it out of the limelight so as to discourage other union activity.

          Cost of doing business, they’ll nickle and dime the populace until they can’t.

          As for those complaining about people getting paid more it’s usually one of three things, selfish ‘I’ve got mine’ types wondering why they haven’t got theirs and someone else has, bad actors, mindless drones.

                  Unions baby, the 8/5/40 full time work week was a result of Australian union activity and is now a standard for full time employment in most of the developed world.

                  But rights cost lives so eventually that’s what the US population has to be willing to spend to buy their freedoms from their capitalist owners, that’s real capitalism.

                  You’ll get there, your population just needs to be uncomfortable enough that the cost can be justified, that’s the real free market.

        So he would have been a better union ally if he had not gotten the union sick days?

          He would have been a better union ally if he let them strike. You’re not a hero for tossing a couple bandages at someone you just shot.
