rail strike averted ? with no sick days

33. Yup. Thanks for posting, Bum. Imo, at this point we NEED that law.

I worry that the planet's, and our nation's, supply chains and labor forces have not recovered and are still really rickety. Every time I go shopping I see evidence and am reminded that it's not over.

Today another shopper and I in our closest Kroger's commented to each other on a number of poor, limp and missing vegetables -- unheard of!

I believe that "it really could happen here" -- this "it" being serious economic depression and personal deprivation resulting from cascading collapses extending to all aspects of society. What the massive distributions of federal money and other resources to business and households in 2020 staved off here. Thank everything Democrats controlled federal policy at that time.

Even so, many among our wealthiest classes made out like bandits, and like mass killers, from the Covid holocaust, with enormous shift of national wealth to them. I'm forced to believe the unbelievable -- that those who'd do it before when their Republican agents controlled would do it again if we didn't stop their next opportunity.
