Elon Musk pushing Hunter Biden’s laptop as the world’s biggest story succeeded in distracting people for a minute from Kanye West’s despicable Hitler praising which succeeded for a few minutes from the focus on Trump’s theft of government documents and his incitement of insurrection.

@StevenBeschloss 🤔 kinda think Biden Union busting is going to have bigger impacts that folks aren’t paying attention too and outside the U.S. Ukraine seems a little more important than either Kanye or hunter’s laptop
But here we are I guess with Elon directing our media just like Trump did

Union busting is not an accurate descriptor. The railroad unions are all still there with all their members subject to the same legal regime that's been in place for decades.
The problem is the Labor Department didn't squeeze management into at least a few days of sick time in the tentative agreement.
Everyone knew a strike at this point in time was never going to happen.

@joeinwynnewood @StevenBeschloss fair Biden is a an anti union strike breaker that sided with share holders making record profits over union worker who donated to him phone banked and canvases for him 👍

You can throw whatever invective you want, it doesn't make it true.
Reagan was a strike breaker, arguably anti-union. Biden is not.
The damage to all working families of a railroad strike as the Fed throws sand in the economic gears & inflation is not quite yet under control.
Do you really want Biden to choose to tip the economy into a severe recession, all too likely handing the 2024 election to the GOP?
I don't and neither do most other union members.
