November 22

Sunny again today and should be a bit warmer. The snow is gone even from the north sides of the houses.

Oh, happy day. The Former Guy's Supreme Court decided the Senate can have his tax returns and other financial documents. They have been trying since 2019 to get the records to look into possible violations of the emoluments clause of the Constitution.

A major rail worker's union rejected the recently negotiated contract which puts the whole thing in jeopardy. I have seen a large number of articles on the collapse of the agreement and its potential for causing economic damage but I really had to search to find out what caused the rejection. I think I remember the news stories ballyhooed the proposals for increased wages and hefty bonuses. What wasn't addressed were the working conditions and "quality of life" proposals the unions demanded. Obviously money doesn't buy everything.
