    It’s not the rail workers’ fault, but a strike would’ve led to millions of layoffs, a likely recession, and severe food and medicine insecurity.

    The stick to beat the billionaires with, trick and? If anything, this would’ve mobilized a MASS of people who otherwise never would’ve had skin in the game. Quite possibly the greatest movement of labor this century would have ever seen-- until the Honorary Pinkerton scrawled his Hancock to ratfuck the strike. You hide “fuck 'em, they should slave rather than get their needs as laborers met” behind fake concern for “the millions”; get fucked.
