On September 15, the United Auto Workers began a targeted strike against Ford, GM, and Stellantis (the conglomerate that includes Chrysler) in an effort to secure higher wages, a four-day work week, and other protections in the union’s next contract. The strike is a huge development for American workers, but it’s also a big deal for President Joe Biden—these car companies are central to his green-infrastructure agenda. The union wants assurances that the industry’s historic, heavily subsidized transition toward electric vehicles will work for them, too.

Biden, whose National Labor Relations Board has been an ally of labor organizers in fights against companies such as Amazon and Starbucks, has called himself “the most pro-union president in American history.” He has expressed support for the UAW’s cause (workers “deserve their fair share of the benefits they helped create,” he said last week) and has sent aides to Michigan to assist in the negotiations.

        Ever consider punching right?

        If we were in person, yeah.

        I’m not to your right. But saying you want to punch me is also pretty divisive.

        But I’m ride or die for Biden.

        People to your left are not as comfortable in their current situation as you are.

            Imma just think for myself

            Why start now?

            and fight anyone that trashes him

            I expect that you’ll ignore anyone who trashes him from your right and fiercely attack anyone who dares to criticize him from your left.

                    You tell others to not be divisive after telling them to go fuck themselves and shut up and be happy. Have you considered that your verbal abuse and rank hypocrisy might have something to do with why you keep losing friends?
