What would a nationwide railroad strike do to America? Shut down our food and energy.
What would a nationwide railroad strike do to America? Shut down our food and energy.
Nobody is really talking about the potential railroad strike, or shutdown, that Biden and his Commie donor pals in the LABOR UNIONS had planned for tonight at MIDNIGHT.
Biden just said he averted the strike by negotiating a deal with two UNIONS that were holding out. Ask yourself why they waited until the last minute? Another PR stunt! Create a crisis - then pretend to fix it. Until the next time!
Unions and management reached a tentative deal early Thursday, averting a freight railroad strike that could have brought 30% of the nation’s freight to a grinding halt and pushed prices higher for many goods.
The White House announced the deal with unions representing more than 50,000 engineers and conductors just after 5 a.m. ET.
The deal gives the union members an immediate 14% raise with back pay dating from 2020, plus raises totaling 24% during the five-year life of the contract, which runs from 2020 through 2024. It also gives them cash bonuses of $1,000 a year.
The agreement does not mean the threat of a strike has gone away entirely. The deal still needs to be ratified by rank-and-file union members.
It's time to pay attention, folks. First they clogged the ports. Then they went after the airlines and they hamstrung the truckers. Now it's the trains. Do you see a pattern?
The International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers Union announced yesterday that its 4,900 workers voted to reject a deal its leaders reached with freight railroad companies. A strike would effectively shut down the US freight train industry.
REUTERS: "A potential nation-wide rail shutdown, which could come as early as Friday, could freeze almost 30% of U.S. cargo shipments, stoke inflation, impede supplies of food and fuel, cost the U.S. economy about $2 billion per day and cause transportation woes."
AMERICAN LOGISTICS ASSOCIATION: "A rail shutdown could slow or completely halt shipments in every market, including food, agriculture, automotive, electronics, ingredients, chemicals, UPS packages and more."
KMPG: "The artery of the US economy is the rail system. It's one of the ways we get everything around. One third of everything gets around this way. And when you cut it, you have a stroke."
Agriculture: Shipments of food from farms are used to fill grocery stores. The AAR says freight rail is “the world’s top grain exporter,” using covered train cars to transport US corn, soybeans and wheat. It’s a relationship that dates back nearly 200 years when railroads became the first link from rural farms to urban centers, the AAR says.
Chemicals: Railroads ship chemicals are used to make things like hand sanitizer, toilet bowl cleaner fertilizers and plastic resins, according to the AAR. The rail industry says it has “implemented special safety practices” so these chemicals safely make it to their destination.
Construction: Freight rail moves supplies such as steel, cement, lumber and other building materials. These are used to build everything from hospitals, roads, homes, skyscrapers and industrial products, the AAR says.
Shipping: Rail cars are used to move consumer products like electronics, clothes and appliances. “In 2019, railroads moved 13.7 million trailers and containers, making intermodal one of the largest segments of the railroads’ business,” according to AAR.
Energy: The AAR says railroads move “nearly every” US energy product — from ethanol to crude oil. Trains also move many of the raw materials that are needed to produce energy. Railroads deliver about 70% of coal to power plants, the AAR says.
Automotive: Before cars or trucks hit the road, raw materials, auto parts and full vehicles are taken across the country in a “flexible rail car” that has two or three levels. Railroads are involved in all stages of the auto supply chain, the AAR explains.
Who owns the BNSF railroad? Warren Buffett!
Remember how the Commies in the Labor Unions bragged in Time Magazine about how they helped RIG THE ELECTION FOR BIDEN? I do!

You think you have supply chain issues now? Shut down the trains for a couple of days and see what happens. How do you think restaurants and grocery stores get food?
This "building back better" thing just keeps getting better and better! Not only that, but a strike would shut down energy supplies to the East coast - because they have NO pipelines!
REUTERS: “The northernmost East Coast states, from Maine to Maryland, rely on railroad shipments to supplement pipeline deliveries from the U.S. Gulf.
TRAINS TO THE NORTHEAST THAT CARRY CRUDE OIL HAVE ALREADY STOPPED.
The upper Northeast relies on rail for shipments of crude oil, natural gas and fuel products more than other region because of a LACK OF PIPELINES. New England receives most of the natural gas it uses to heat homes and light stoves by rail."
Nationwide, stocks of distillates, which include heating oil and diesel, are at their lowest levels seasonally since 2000, according to EIA data.
The situation is more dire in New England and the Central Atlantic states. In that region, stretching from Maine to Maryland, stocks are at 16.6 million barrels, lowest seasonally since the EIA started keeping the data in 1990.
We know why Biden shut down pipelines. Now you know why Biden is draining our emergency reserves. He’s not done yet, folks. You know they can't pull another virus out in time to justify cheat-by-mail - so they need a plan B. Either a horrific false flag or some kind of major energy failure.
“All sorts of stuff is going to grind to a halt. It’s going to be brutal. We are starting to see impacts already."
The New York Times oddly said a potential strike would “reinvigorate” supply chain disruptions! GASLIGHTING.
This was a trial run - next time they will do it! The end goal for Communists is for the Government to take over and centralize all our food, energy, healthcare and transportation. That’s Communism 101.
Listen to this brave railroad conductor, Charles Stallworth, tell you himself what the end goal is that the UNION bosses and hedge funds have planned for the train industry. They may have averted the strike for now - but it's not over...it’s coming back! LISTEN. There is ALWAYS more to the story that you're not told.

While all this was going on - Biden went to Detroit - because he’s a car guy!
BIDEN: "You all know I'm a car guy. Today I visited the Detroit Auto Show and saw firsthand the electric vehicles that give me so many reasons to be optimistic about our future."
The Cadillac Lyriq all electric SUV starts at $63,000. How many of you can afford a $63,000 car? NOT ME.
What a man of the people! Biden is the real orange man bad….
Governor Ron DeSantis just sent two planes full of illegal immigrants - seeking asylum in America - from Florida to Martha's Vineyard in Massachusetts! That’s where Barack and Michelle Obama recently bought a 7,000 square foot, 29 acre oceanside mansion for $12 MILLION while screaming “the oceans are rising due to climate change!”
DeSantis warned them last December that he would do this - they didn’t believe him - he kept his promise!
SPOX: "States like Massachusetts, New York, and California will better facilitate the care of these individuals, who they have invited into our country, by incentivizing illegal immigration through their designation as ‘sanctuary states’ and support for the Biden Administration’s open border policies."
DeSantis: “Biden is dumping people in our state. We now have money where we can reroute them to 'sanctuary' states like Delaware or Massachusetts. It is not the responsibility of Floridians to subsidize [people] to reside in our state unlawfully. We did not consent to Biden’s open-borders agenda."
Do you think there will be room at the inn? The local elites are already complaining about taking care of just 50 people - and they are so overwhelmed they said they need VOLUNTEERS to put help place them in shelters on Martha’s Vineyard!
In New York, and other Democrat sanctuary cities, they are housing illegal aliens at empty hotels for $500 a night and the taxpayers are paying for it! All are welcome here - they love to spend OUR money!
They said it wasn’t very “Christian” of DeSantis to send them Biden’s illegal aliens!
The New York Post is saying that have a whistleblower source who can prove that Facebook colluded with the FBI and gave them private information about anyone who talked about election fraud - without probable cause or a warrant. Of course they did! They did it to me! They said it was to “protect the people.”
I knew this in 2018 when I was doing seminars on absentee ballot fraud and telling people they were going to steal 2020! In fact, I was told back then that the local FBI and the Democrat Party of Minnesota had access to all my private Facebook data and Twitter data. Who told me? Someone who worked in the IT Department at the State of Minnesota who fed it to them!
None of our information on social media is private. They use it for nefarious purposes or sell it to the highest bidder.
IMHO, people shouldn't be worried about that so much - but what they should really be worried about is who is selling your DNA - from all those COVID tests and genetic registries you sign up for - which is being sent to organ transplant data banks, of our enemies, around the world. They want your heart, your lungs, your kidneys, your liver and your blood. And they don’t want to wait until you, or your family members, die to harvest it! That's what I'd really be worried about.
