I vaguely remember that. I think when I watched it I interpreted it as him naively sharing information with her. Perhaps it was part of her duties to collect the data, she did seem fairly high up the New Republic's information stream.
How is it not deflection when it's used to curb criticism? Is it your opinion that facts cannot be used as deflection when they aren't relevant purely because it is a truth?
Wowee you are really drinking that kool-aid aren't you?
The rail road workers got everything they wanted and more.
Sick leave? You know that crucial safety issue of staying home when you can't perform your job. How about the skeleton crews the rail companies run giving inspectors a total of 2 minutes per car to do mandatory inspections? All these issues labor was raising before the national disaster of East Palestine.
The admin followed up even if the media fell off.
Do you even know what you are championing in this statement? "CSX was the first to grant paid sick days to several of its unions and has now granted sick days to 61% of its 17,089 unionized employees." OH boy 10k people got 4 days of sick leave, what a joke. That's bread crumbs. It's nothing to celebrate, that's what the rail companies want to diffuse the public pressure.
This article is the flipside, it does nothing to address the true issue and only further drives a wedge to divide. If you start talking about issues both rural and urban voters care about, such as the stratification of wealth, how poor folk are burdened with the biggest tax rate and how a billionare class straight up should not exist, you will actually make inroads with people both liberal and conservative that have been spoon fed propaganda for their entire lives.
And the public transportation is better in your 15k town? Your criticism is BS. Could it be better? Yes, our governments (federal/state/local) has failed the working class for decades upon decades. That's not unique to cities and at least there is incentive to build transportation along with dense urban planning, you legit can't do that in small town America.
Who cares? She is no better for American working people than Trump is. It was democratic leadership and their decades long failure to the working class that gave us Trump. They don't get to be lionized for the long and ugly clean up.
How long until Pelosi loses her mind like Feinstein or has a mini-stroke like McConnell? Can we put her insider trading profits to a general strike fund when it happens? Asking for a friend.
It's not a culture war issue and God damn I am so tired of NYTimes obfuscation of the truth of the matter.
Climate like so many other issues we currently face is a class war issue. The working class is going to face the fallout of environmental change, while the rich avoid feeling it effects. Mass migration north as the global south becomes unsustainable, food shortages increasing grocery prices, working conditions continuing to become unsafe as AC installation in warehouses and trucks is "cost prohibitive". None of that will impact the wealthy, it's exactly WHY they are currently hoarding.
Such a nightmare, my wife is taking our kids to a concert at the zoo today. So horrible! They will be taking a bus (pUbLiC tRaNsPoRtAtIoN), horrifying!
If I could only know myself.
