In an extraordinary show of support for organized labor, President Biden said he would join workers in Michigan on the front lines of their strike against leading automakers.

      Even still, sounds to me like a very effective way to signal support for the striking workers. Obviously he can’t participate for the entire strike, he has shit to do and would easily garner much more criticism doing that. I suspect everyone that disapproves of this move disapproves of the man anyway.

          Back when I was working as a flight instructor, president Obama did a bus tour across my state. The President has a TFR surrounding him at all times, and when he’s on the move, so is the TFR. It was real fun shutting down our business for a day so that the President could get absolutely nothing done because everyone had their minds made up who to vote for before the candidates were even announced.
