People have already been rightfully upset about inflation. Do you think that would have been better or worse in the event of a rail strike? Do you think people who are already scraping by would be as sympathetic towards rail workers as they should? What do you think the right wing talking heads would have been saying?
That one is not a cut and dry as just a strike. Saying he’s obviously going to act the same way is disingenuous at best.
There’s always going to be people mad no matter what. I expect political leaders to be adults and do what’s best even if the short term is painful, in that I am usually disappointed. A rail strike wouldn’t have moved inflation, it might have made a few more shortages or back orders here and there, but that’s still happening anyway. There would be huge problems if it lasted a month, but that would be unlikely imo.
Sometimes, yeah. Sometimes it leads to disaster.

I think you drastically underestimate how much goes by rail every day
