      I havent had a chance to get the source, but apparently Biden and some conservative legislature types are pushing congress to push an emergency bill through to keep the railroads going (I was too young, but similar to the air traffic controller strike?) beyond the deadline?

      In Chicago, Metra has four lines that are operated by BNSF and UP, and those four lines are parking their trains tonight at 9pm. Five other lines are operated by Metra (on dedicated Metra lines or shared rights they have priority on) themselves and are planning to operate as normal Friday. Two other lines are questionable as to their service status.

      Amtrak has canceled all long distance trains as of today (ie: Midwest, West, and South). Northeast rail service (which does NOT share track rights with the freight guys) are unaffected as of now.

      They get a weekend to figure sh*t out, but if it's not solved by Monday morning, it's gonna get to be butt puckering time.
      I don’t buy for a second that Biden was trying to block the strike. Sounds like people trying to feed the “both sides are bad!” propaganda. Biden got elected in part on his strength with labor unions, I doubt he’d willing throw that away in one fell swoop.

      Same thing with the “only Bernie Sanders blocked Congress from forcing a stop to the strike!” stuff being spread.

        The first thing mentioned in Biden's statement on the matter was that he feels the workers will enjoy the pay increase and better healthcare the recieve as a result.

        He played this very well and pushed for the workers it seems.

        EDIT: Clarified my statement.

                        The real winner in the deal to avoid a railroad strike? Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.

                              Duh...but there is no way to really know how they voted because there is no way to poll all of them.
