What happens if the dotard wins again? Alleged experts voice their opinions

When the use of those rights threaten the nations security. The issue was resolved and the workers got what they wanted.

What is your complaint? A successful settlement without a major economic disaster?

You may want to find a better vehicle to vent your hostilities.

Pick whatever you want that is included in Richardson’s piece but isn’t in the wsws or the letter. I see vague reference from the socialists.

All rights , including worker’s rights are subordinate to the security of the entire nation and all of the people.

I believe that everyone agreed that the worker’s complaint was justified.
It’s their remedy that was not allowable under the circumstances.

How about this part

PSR helped the railroad corporations make record profits. In 2021, revenue for the two largest railroad corporations in the U.S., the Union Pacific and BNSF (owned by Warren Buffett), jumped 12% to $21.8 billion and 11.6% to $22.5 billion, respectively.

Should this have been front and centre of the wsws article?

How about whats included in the letter thats not included heathers piece ?

You heard this from someone who says they want to fight for democracy and human rights. Leave it to the beurocrate to trust when national security is envoked. Saudi arabia would :heart: you.

First, I am quite capable of making up my own mind from reliable data.

As to presidential powers;

Emergency Powers

Presidents have access to a dizzying range of powers during a declared emergency. We’re working to enhance Congress’s role as a check against abuse of authority.
Emergency Powers

IOW, there is oversight and remedies if abuse of presidential powers occurs. The current litigation of Donal Trump (ex-president) addresses just such abuse of presidential powers.

In the case of a threatened national rail workers strike, the use of executive power was justified as evidenced by the lack of criticism the US Congress and Senate or even from the Republican party.

OTOH , the Republican party is threatening to shut down the government altogether when it comes into power in a few weeks. Not from any valid motive , but from the sheer intoxication and exercise of power.

Now there would be an example of Congressional authoritarianism and overreach of democratic principles.

Threatening to place the Nation into default with its creditors is a serious matter and NOT good government.

Typical “piling on” to try and overwhelm an argument. He is so transparent its pathetic…

I asked him to pick something Richardson said that wsws didn’t. Instead he quoted wsws, so I’ll forgive the confusion. But it doesn’t make his point.

Richardson discusses that increased profits.

The quote about record profits is from Richardson. You just want to be argumentative .

And what does this have to do with Political power?
Seems to me this has to do with unrestricted Corporate power.

Unfortunately, Democracy does not prevent Big Business from maximizing profits and there is room to fix some SCOTUS rulings in regard to facilitating business practices.

You’re just spouting dog whistles regardless if they are pertinent to the discussion.

??

My mistake on the quote. It seems like a point we would agree is important, not argue about. Not sure what the problem is now. Maybe if you stopped the ad hominems, that would help.

Quite a rookie mistake for a seasoned campaigner.

“Not sure what the problem is now.”

Not sure what you were trying to prove here. You asked to quote a section from Richardson and it was given and thats where it seems to have ended. What was your point in this exercise? Do you even have one?

I should like to know what your point is/was. It seems to have been lost by the way you presented yourself to this forum.

Care to enlighten us?

I’d like to second that motion:

I should like to know what doofdoof’s point is/was.
It seems to have been lost by the wayside.

Care to enlighten us in a constructive fashion?

Schrödinger’s NHS worker:

Simultaneously too important to strike, but not important enough to be paid properly.

I can agree with that sentiment.

Agree with the sentiment but not the right to strike is disingenuous to the well being of every worker out there fighting for better working conditions Fake support.

Nothing fake about the threat of halting the nation’s commerce. That is real!

But as long as there are no “profit” restrictions on the employers, the workers should have the right to the only weapon that can force restriction on wage exploitation, i.e. halt work.

Moreover, if the government can force workers to remain in the job for national security reasons, it should also have the right to force the empluyers to pay their workers fair wages. A “minimum wage w/benefits” for a “necessary workforce”. After all that can only be considered “negotiated employment”.

Capitalism is a good investment incentive, fair wages is a good employment incentive (Henry Ford?)

But they didnt. Biden decided to side with corporate america profits and crush the workers.

russell brand has a great video on biden lies since his election campaign and he doesnt hold back his thoughts on the strikes and biden’s weasel words
