Every worker has the right to withhold their labor. Concerted action and collective bargaining by workers are supposed to be protected by law. That hasn’t stopped President Biden from demanding on Nov. 28 that Congress stop over 100,000 railroad workers from striking. Biden insisted that Congress enforce a tentative deal “without any modifications or delay.”

Broke: electric battery cars, busses, trucks, and trains, that use volatile and unrenewable batteries that wear down and expire. Mass transit is sidelined in favor of everyone owning an EV, roads are just as awful and sprawling as ever.

Woke: Trolleys. Interurbans. Lightrail. Doodlebugs. Passenger trains. Local freight. High speed express routes. All powered by overhead catenary electric lines, fed by fast burning Thorium nuclear reactors.

Fact: at one point, a determined traveler could step onto an interurban train in Maine and travel all the way to Chicago. There is no reason, except the greed of fuel and automobile manufacturers, that this system had to be removed. And yet there is only one such system left! The South Shore is the last of these original routes left, serving from North Chicago to South Bend. There are of course commuter lines, in major cities, but these are on the decline as well, through neglect and removal of funding. We NEED to connect communities, businesses, and the very nation with rail travel again, and electric is the way to go. Just not with batteries! So easily we forget overhead electric lines.

More than 41,000 people, including thousands of children, have been killed by the Feb. 6 earthquake. No one has died so far in the Feb. 3 train wreck or from the dangerous chemicals that were released because of it.

Earthquakes are terrible natural events caused by the shifting and collision of plates inside the earth. Reinforced buildings designed to withstand shocks can greatly reduce fatalities.

Real estate sharks seeking more profits aren’t interested in constructing safer buildings. Thousands of people were killed because of contractors trying to cut costs

There was nothing natural about the wreck of the Norfolk Southern freight train that derailed. The 150-car train was 9,300 feet long and weighed 18,000 tons.

Railroad tycoons like long trains, which are part of their Precision Scheduled Railroading model. PSR has helped destroy 62,000 railroad jobs since 2015 while increasing average train length by 25%.

So Biden pushed for a deal that averted the rail strike—no durr; a strike would be politically disastrous for the Dems heading into midterms—but he put on the pressure to settle in favor of the workers' demand for unscheduled and unpenalized (and unpaid!) sick leave.

Which is also such a "durr" thing. But, since huge numbers of Americans (including ones I once thought were reasonable) have spent the week voicing opposition to the union's demands then, well. This is great news.

Which I guess means the bar is on the fuckin' floor??

Huzzah. Biden the Mediocre Nonentity once again being my guy, just for meeting absolute basic standards of decency. Sigh.

All of my feels!!! Spirit fighting so hard to get back to Lucky! I wish we could have seen her slowly nurse Spirit back to health because he was so scratched up and dirty. And especially wish we could've see that guy who caught and sold Spirit get what he deserves.

Spirit despite any complaints is quite literally still a wild horse, otherwise in the legal sense, Lucky wouldn't have had so much trouble fighting to get him back. In a sense, yeah Spirit is 'hers,' but he still runs free with his herd and does as he pleases. Above all, Lucky and Spirit share a very deep bond which is why they want to be with each other.

Idk. I don't feel like Lucky doesn't necessarily own him because Spirit still hates ropes, being tied up and cooped up. And he is still wild and aggressive towards anyone who tries to capture and ride him besides Lucky.
