Oh yeah, they’re on strike…of course Biden isn’t gonna do ‘squat’ even though he could invoke the Taft Hartley Act.

Just when the hurricane victims need supplies the most. Amazing coincidences...
I heard they want a 100% pay raise and less automation....

Mr. Potatohead isn't going to do anything because the union has already endorsed Giggles/Tampon Timmy. He's jus' following orders (or at least Dr. Fishnets is).

The strike has sparked panic buying of toilet paper. Little do these idiots know, toilet paper sold in America is American made. None of it is imported.
