Biden helps avert railway strike

Cite, or retract.

My heart bleeds for the 0.03%.

…opinion based on the actions of this administration. No citation required.

Well it should.

Come on now, be reasonable. Sure, we’re the only country that doesn’t have sick leave, but it’s not like the countries with sick leave have a rail system nearly as robust as ours. US trains are the envy of the world, right? You can’t have a top-notch set of choo-choos and ALSO care about the health of the cogs. Workers. I meant workers.

You do realize of course that just because you aren’t one of those affected being thrown under the bus, that this lumps you into comfortably into the “everybody else” ( on the bus )category, don’t you? Each person’s line of work running the gamut from railroaders to paper-pushing sinecures, comprises a very small percentage of the overall total.

Are you talking the railroad workers, or the super-rich? The railroad workers, I want them to get the paid sick leave.

The railroad workers. I thought, as well as Banquet Bear apparently, that when you wrote that your heart bleeds for them, that you were using sarcasm.

Yeah, I misconstrued something he said. This is what happens when I post after working late. Sorry for the slight hijack, peeps.

Of course the US allows sick pay. Many companies offer it.

…I meant obliged to pay sick pay. As in: the state mandates you must provide a set amount of sick pay per year. While some states require this: it isn’t fderally mandated.
