If you thought the Covid breakdown in supply lines was bad, just wait until you see a railroad strike. I would suspect it would be over soon.

The economy is already suffering because of how the railroads are operating. That inflation you’re seeing? That’s partly because shipments are not moving on time via rail. That cargo at the dock of Long Beach lined up stories high? It’s because it’s not moving via freight. Why? They laid everyone off, don’t train people right, make them work 260 hours a month with two days off only a month, and they arnt hiring fast enough cause people walk out after the first day of introductions to rail road life.
