I just got my email on my up. Its official.

It is time to help out union brothers out!!! STAND TOGETHER!!! https://www.newsweek.com/working-class-americans-are-standing-themselves-left-denouncing-them-opinion-1637577

How will UP celebrate? Perhaps another tasteless locomotive?

If this has been a hard-to-bear job so far, with higher inflation it will become unbearable. I intend to leave, I hope to get another offer as soon as possible. Do you think inflation will drive greater attrition here?
