Just wait until Congress passes a bipartisan law to make it illegal for them to strike.

Just wait until “the strike is hurting the holy economy” narrative gets going.

Surprised it already hasn’t tbh.

FTA:

If the strikes drag on, shortages could push vehicle prices higher and strain an economy already bruised by inflation.

Cue the “but I was thinking about maybe potentially kind of buying a new car next year, and this will either make it more expensive or force me to wait” BS

Note: I’m not referring to underprivileged folks whose current vehicle craps out/is stolen and they’re in desperate need of a new method of transportation. I’m talking about folks who are either in no danger of losing their only vehicle &/or can easily obtain a new one and are whining about nothing more than minor inconvenience.

And let’s not forget how embarrassing the state of public transportation is in the US. We basically pretend it doesn’t exist and is impossible to achieve, thus forcing those who live here to have access to some sort of private automobile.

Fuck
