Brace Yourselves: Biden’s Failed Deal Will Send Prices Soaring Even Higher

It’s official: we are living in an Ayn Rand novel…

If you thought that the Biden Presidency couldn’t get any worse, I got news: you thought wrong—things have not yet hit rock bottom for the big guy and his crony administration.

Not too long ago, it was feared that railway strikes, organized by union labor, would bring the nation’s railway systems to a screeching halt.

The Biden administration rushed in with high hopes of attempting to broker a deal between the unions and the railways; it was widely reported that disaster was averted because of Biden’s deal…

I know, I was shocked too…

Things seem to be back to business as usual as of Monday—the railroad deal has completely fallen apart and fears of a looming railway strike have once again gripped lawmakers.

A railway strike would further exacerbate pressures on supply chains and send consumer prices soaring even higher amid already skyrocketing inflation.

Rep. Jim Jordan warned Americans earlier today:

Uh-oh. Joe Biden’s tentative railroad union deal fell apart on Monday.

Strike imminent?

If so, get ready for prices to go even higher.

Others were sympathetic to the plight of the railway workers and unionized labor. The complaints center around a lack of paid time off and cohesive break policies.

Will the management and the unions actually reach an agreement independent of a government-brokered deal?

Not everyone was so convinced:

#AngelEyes Unions and Management cannot work together. Unions do not represent. These workers barely have time to shit, nor shit in the same place twice. Yet no one wants to grant them significant time for self or family. 1/1 https://t.co/AARhwDgKEK

The Associated Press reports:

Over half of track maintenance workers represented by the Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way Employes Division who voted opposed the five-year contract despite 24% raises and $5,000 in bonuses.

NATIONAL POLL: Do You Trust Fox News?

Union President Tony Cardwell said the railroads didn’t do enough to address the lack of paid time off — particularly sick time — and working conditions after the major railroads eliminated nearly one-third of their jobs over the past six years.

There are renewed fears of a freight rail strike after one of the nation's biggest unions rejected a deal with the railroads. @TerryMoran reports on the potential major economic consequences a strike could have. https://t.co/QnfVwKE8lm

Breitbart concludes:

But the union’s rejection of the deal sets Biden back and again raises the possibility of a national rail shutdown which would cripple the economy right before the Christmas and Thanksgiving holidays.
