UPDATE: Amtrak has canceled some long-distance passenger routes ahead of the potential freight rail stoppage Friday.
Freight companies are halting grain & hazardous waste shipments too.
Rail companies are decimating the country’s supply chain just to deny workers sick pay.

If the worker strike happens, it will be another significant blow to the already fragile American economy. The fact that Amtrak is halting some of their routes seems to indicate that the prospect of the strike going through is high.
Who knows though, maybe Transportation Secretary Pete Buttplug will take a break from breaking his boyfriend’s asshole to sort things out. What do you all think? Do you think Secretary Assplug has what it takes to get the job done?
