Strikes and Bikes:
Strikes!
So, Biden visited the picket line for the UAW. A first, or something. Wonder if he knew he did it? *sarcasm* The Guardian thinks the visit may resonate with blue-collar workers. It might, I guess. Or maybe the railway workers might have some thoughts.

Wanted to let you know that I can't host the OP for a couple of weeks. I am sorry for the short notice.
My eldest estranged son passed away last night and I need the time to process this.

He was 54 years old.
