from Bloomberg yesterday:

"[Amtrak] said most service within its own Northeast Corridor linking Boston, New York and Washington -- including its Acela trains -- will continue to operate on a full schedule, but that nearly all of the 21,000 route miles it operates outside of that area uses railway track “owned, maintained and dispatched by freight railroads.”"

It never was about good faith negotiations, they want to break the union and Dark Joe Brandon is gonna do it for them.

Another short term action. Doesn't matter how much you crush unions when you don't pay enough to get people in there and then don't even bother making people literate enough to be imprisoned and trained.

Anyone wanna bet inflation is locked in until it overcomes America's ability to shield it's companies and they finally find a boundary they can't ignore?

If they don't actually strike then, yeah, that's another union that's going to ride off into irrelevancy before long.

ok that makes sense

obviously bad if the other railway gets hosed but a massive amount of their revenue and ridership is the northeast corridor. every time i'm on one of the northeast/keystone/acela lines they're always pretty packed

So, my wife is still overemployed! We're more than two months in now and she just got a glowing performance review from the old WFH job, and continued good feedback at the new in-person job. She's able to knock out the WFH job in 1-2 hours each night.

For the record, it's $60k (WFH job for poo poo company) and $50k (cool in-person job) for a total of $110k (annualized). Getting paid every week instead of every other week is, apparently, nice. I think I'm going to make her take me out to dinner since this was my idea.

I'm hardly buying anything right now, but it seems like I can't leave the grocery store without spending at least $100

Try almost $200 and it’s like two moderately full bags of groceries and maybe some meat. Costco has 2 dozen pasture raised organic eggs for $7 and the organic berries and meats are still moderately priced. Although organic chicken went astronomical.

Granted we shop at the organic co-op for most staples but the prices aren’t much better at Fred Meyers or qfc.

The funny thing they never mention now is the cost of living in HCOL areas. Which can’t be explained other than retailers charging more because they can and because they know people have money to pay for it.

The unions should be increasing their demands, not weakening them. If the rail companies don't wanna play ball, then it gets even more expensive when they do come to the table.

Part of neutering unions is convincing them to never actually use their leverage.

rock out with your stock out

the few bad inflation reports actually spiked the markets on the day of release under the logic that it was bad, but not crazy bad , and thus the fed would act within expected bounds.

this is unexpected by a smidge and it’s total meltdown time.
