Federalism may complicate matters in Germany, but comparing it to the U.S. misses the point. American federalism prioritizes commerce over labor rights, creating systemic barriers unique to its legal framework. Tossing in contract rights feels like a red herring—stick to the rails, friend.

Your take on German courts balancing labor rights better is valid but irrelevant here. The U.S. government’s intervention wasn’t about legal obligation; it was political calculus. That nuance undermines your argument while proving mine.

As for strikes “needing to hurt,” congratulations on stating the obvious. The real issue is how systemic suppression in the U.S. neuters unions, leaving workers with little leverage. Your tangents about songs and tabloids? Entertaining but hollow.

Focus your argument, or you’ll derail yourself again.

Other countries’ systems aren’t directly comparable to the U.S., where federalism complicates labor law uniformity. Germany’s co-determination model works within its unique legal and economic framework, but applying it to the U.S. ignores vast structural differences. Rail strikes in the U.S. directly impact interstate commerce, which federal law prioritizes above all else.

GDL’s success stems from Germany’s specific labor environment, where unions negotiate under different constraints. In the U.S., rail unions face systemic hurdles like the Railway Labor Act, designed to limit disruptions. Comparing outcomes without acknowledging these disparities oversimplifies the issue.

Finally, your sidetrack about a song and TV production is irrelevant to the discussion of labor rights. Focus on substance instead of tangential anecdotes.

A mix of effort and relevance but flawed arguments and diversions.
