No, horses are carbon producing and must either be heavily taxed or shotThis is starting to resemble Atlas Shrugged.
At the beginning of the book, the rails were still running but were struggling.
By the end, the trains were done & people were back to horse & wagon.
The incompetence on display would make Jimmy Carter blush

Biden contradicted White House officials on Thursday, claiming not to have been directly in touch with either side in the looming national rail-road strike.
With rail strike looming, Biden says he has 'not directly engaged,' contradicting White House press secretary
Another year of biden and we'll be eating them.No, horses are carbon producing and must either be heavily taxed or shot
I could handle a buckboard along with a pair of Morgan's/Haines collars & whipple tree, but those Morgan's better be faster than any Derby Thoroughbred along with the endurance of the starship Enterprise to make that 65 mile daily round trip to my place of employment!!!Rail strike + massive inflation = shortages and more massive inflation
It's a win/win for the DNC
So what is the problem here?
Putin done it
Besides, January 6th.
Do you have any idea why the rail workers may call a strike?BIden should be doing all he can to slow down the union negotiations process. According the Railway Labor Act, strikes are illegal for railroad workers until ALL processes are exhausted.
In the mean time, getting every truck out on the road possible is a key to dealing with it, as well as recruiting train engineers from abroad to run the railroads during any possible strike.
Biden, BTW, really Fucked Up Royally when he cancelled the Keystone pipeline, which would have provided alternative methods to transport crude.
The key to this whole situation, Long Term, is for America to wean itself off of reliance on rail transportation and concentrate on a Rails-to-Trails program to change many of them to hiking trails. Further, moving Amtrak to a motor coach service would also help immensely.

For one it's a safety issue. The rail company wants to eliminate conductors. All the train would use is an engineer. A one man train run by electronics.
Would you call that a safety issue or a I want to keep my irrelevant job issue though? I do not know enough to say in this case but generally electronics are FAR more reliable than people who are quite prone to fucking up.Do you have any idea why the rail workers may call a strike?

The rails are monopolized. They could give a damn what others think.I think the real lesson here for America is to cut out dependence on rail transportation. If Mayor Petey and the Dept of Transportation can't get their shit together, we really need to phase this program out
I can see the engineer texting and not paying attention. Conductors know more about the goings on around the trains than the engineers.Would you call that a safety issue or a I want to keep my irrelevant job issue though?

Sucking sound of the empty vacuum of space in the universe + John Fetterman brain = DNCBiden + Russia = Vladin!
the air traffic controlers actually went on strike frank....these people not yet.....the Unions are just extorting the dems. No surprise here. Reagan would fire them and replace them
I am sure they do but that is not really relevant. You mentioned electronic measures replacing those needs and it would be those, regardless of the engineer taking a nap or not, that would provide that safety.I can see the engineer texting and not paying attention.

This is another issue entirely. I have heard they have some justified complaints about mistreatment but I was interested in your statement about safety as I have not heard that particular point. Generally I am in favor of eliminating operators as much as possible, almost all major disasters are related to human error or hubris. Anyone that has ever been involved in any program that touches safety in a major institution is well aware of this.Another issue is how the rail co schedules the employee's. They use a 3 strikes type rule. If the employee needs to take time off for personal or family emergency issues the co uses it as leverage to dismiss the worker.

Considering a train is on a fixed route, safety should be a very easy accomplishment for electronic devices and also be far more effective. Electronic controls, for instance, do not speed around corners whereas operators do.
