And I appreciate that.

That doesn't change that that is not an unwarranted initial reaction.

Frankly, it isn't unwarranted. I don't appreciate people putting words in my mouth and building a strawman off of it.

I never said I hated or blamed Biden for it. Ive infact said the literal opposite, that were incredibly lucky he was in office when it happened. You're pulling shit out of your ass and putting words in my mouth, which I don't appreciate.

My entire point this whole time is the power to do this shouldn't exist. Don't twist my words.

You're missing the point entirely. We need legislation thay explicitly forbids it.

Yes, we were lucky that Biden was actually advocating for them. That's what the lucky comment was about.

What happens if the next time is under a GOP government? The power to do this shouldn't exist in the first place.

The issue isn't whether or not they ended up getting it, the issue is that the government will forcibly end strikes that are too dangerous to the economy. Yknow, the entire point of strikes.

Luckily, it worked out this time. What needs to happen is the removal of the government's power to end rail strikes in the first place.

That's not too insane for a company of their size. It's higher than many, but far from out of the norm.

The worst part is Intel honestly could've have spun this into something of a win if they actually handled it properly. They've got over $25B in cash reserves, they could easily afford to do a recall and a big PR campaign about how good they are at accepting responsibility and fixing mistakes.

Now that's it's come out that he got bullied into the JD pick by his failsons, I'm thinking they did do some digging. He just got bullied.

Frankly? Most people.

Most people are really dumb about this type of thing.

There's a reason my next car is going to be a early-mid 00s accord/camry/similar

It happens, although they're relatively rare. Since 2000 there have been a total of 46 vetoes, with each president since Bush vetoing 10-12 bills.

For context, FDR had the most vetoes of any president, totaling 635 over his 12 years in office.
