Best men’s #WorldCupfinal ever!
How do I find #minneapolis folks #onhere?
Judd LegumWe don't have to chose between a functioning railroad network & paid sick leave for workers
Rail companies earn billions in profits and can easily afford paid sick leave
Congress can avert a strike by imposing an agreement that includes paid sick leave
Railroading workers
Railroad workers across the country are threatening to go on strike on December 9, delivering a potentially crippling blow to the American economy. According to the Association of American Railroads, a nationwide rail shutdown could cost more than $2 billion per day. There are 140,000 miles of rail in the United States, which are operated by about 115,000 rail workers. This network serves "nearly every agricultural, industrial, wholesale, retail and resource-based sector of our economy." Passenger rail would also stop, disrupting hundreds of thousands of commuters.
Robert ReichJoe, if you're going to have Congress intervene in this rail strike, demand that railroad companies improve the deal and guarantee paid sick days for workers.
Otherwise, let the workers organize to fight for the rights they deserve. This should be a no-brainer.
@rbreich Completely agree!

Twitter has quietly changed their policies to allow COVID-19 misinformation. This change will literally kill people.

BaratundeOk. #worldcup here is how I root for teams. Colonized over colonizer. Africa over everybody. Under dogs over well-resourced. USA v ENG is a challenge in theory but I also root for myself so it’s USA baby. What’s your World Cup team fandom algorithm?
