Getting downvotes because Liberals want to give Biden credit for the union's achievements. XD

Do you have any source to suggest this would impact the shareholders "the hardest"?

What do you mean "source"?

This is basic microeconomics, if the company can't sell its services due to labor action then it can't generate profits for the shareholders, so they get hit directly in the wallet.

Everyone has to put up with downstream effects, but only the shareholders get the direct impacts on top of that, so obviously they're getting hit the hardest.

Perhaps those unions from the Teamsters to the longshoremen should rally to get Republicans out of the way?

Most (like 60%) of the Teamsters are Republicans, and I'd bet the same applies to the Longshoremen. That's why the Teamsters hasn't endorsed anyone this year.

You left out the important part at the top of the article:

WASHINGTON, June 5 [more than 6 months after the fact] (Reuters) - More than 60% of U.S. unionized railroad workers at major railroads are now are covered by new sick leave agreements, a trade group said Monday. Last year railroads came under fire for not agreeing to paid sick leave during labor negotiations. In December, President Joe Biden signed legislation to block a national U.S. railroad strike after some unions voted against the deal over a lack of paid sick leave.

Actually, it would hit the wallets of the rail company shareholders hardest.

Also, don't pretend that the rail strikers came out on top in that negotiation. Their #1 issue was understaffing and the total lack of sick time, neither of which were addressed.

Biden didn't have anything to do with this..

Especially considering inflation will eat half of it.

Not when you're a government.

Mandate that payment processors have to support the state debit network and you'll be on half the terminals in the country in three months.

I'm trans, and I'm not the only one in my family.

My Dad claims he votes Republican for tax purposes.

If you're aware of what a back-of-card network is then you should understand how transformative a state-backed zero-fee interchange would be.

And credit unions offer accounts with lower fees and higher interest rates than commercial banks, whose only advantages are having more branch offices, ATMs, and a bigger marketing budget.

Postal banking solves this deficit by making every post office a branch of the national credit union.

What service? Debit cards for postal banking accounts?

It absolutely would be because for-profit banks would have to compete with non-profit government services..

Petite bourgeoise, the managerial class who wield structural control over the labor power of others but lack sufficient capital to simply hire someone else to maintain that structure for them. Same as gang members, small business owners, corporate middle-managers, etc.

Cultivate a fascination for neologism and you can be the old person that correctly and unironically uses modern slang to the horror of young people everywhere~

Become the reason that kids have to find new words for things all over again and you'll never run out of new material~

No need for crypto, there are plans on deck for a postal banking system that already include debit card service (and a government union for the workers who have to maintain the infrastructure). That's pretty much the end of the credit card mafia if it comes to pass.

*with or without

FTFY

There can be more than two categories.

Doesn't matter, the Democrats are killing the Republican party by absorbing its "moderates" and becoming the new right-wing.

They don't need lefties anymore.

Cops aren't workers, they're the enforcers of Capital.

The only surprising thing here is that this person thought they could exercise copfriend privileges against an actual cop without getting some kind of blowback. XD

Didn't they fall into Crypto BS?

I'm not a Democrat either, but I am so familiar with their machinations that I correctly predicted the last 9 years of national politics based on how Dems did Bernie dirty in the 2016 primary, all the way down to knowing Biden would have to drop out to give Harris a chance this year.

I'm autistic, which doesn't make me immune to propaganda but does makes it very easy to recognize when someone is trying to manipulate public opinion. The truth has almost nothing to do with politics, ours is an entirely vibes-based government.

The noise is especially important, because political machines are colonial superorganisms. Their leadership likes to pretend otherwise, but they don't speak with one voice, they are more like beehives where each individual has to coordinate their activities with the rest of the swarm. It's important to know the range of acceptable opinions within the in-group and those that are tolerated outside it, and the noise is where human political organisms do their bee-dancing.
