    I believe the regulatory power of the NLRB has expanded some during his tenure. At the same time, however, Biden heavy-handedly intervened in the rail strike, the Federal Reserve has manipulated interest rates to "discipline labor", and Biden's sanctions and tariffs exploit rifts in the international solidarity of workers while failing to substantially increase production or employment domestically. The Juduciary are also making moves to weaken the NLRB and other regulatory bodies, and the Executive and Congress are not using their substantial powers to stand up to them.

    The claims are cherry-picked bullshit, is what I'm saying

      Yeah. I see lots of people mention the railway strike thing as a positive, but I’m like… the workers didn’t get all the things they wanted, and they weren’t even asking a lot. Because of Biden. So fuck that guy and fuck everyone who thinks that’s a good example of being pro labour.
