Biden made the best of a bad situation with the railway union issue. He worked pretty hard and without any need for adulation behind the scenes to continue resolving the strikers needs.

Allowing the railways to collapse would have been financially devastating.

If the economy can be destroyed by a private business going under, then it needs to be nationalized.

That's a bit over simplistic, it wasn't a 'single private business', it was a sector involving transport of freight across the entire country.

But I agree re nationalising integral industries.
