Arrr! Biden's climate parchment be forsakin' the hard-workin' swabbies as it sets sail for electric car waters, says the union!
2023-08-15
Arrr, mateys! Joe Biden's grand climate legislation be a terrible disappointment, failing to protect our hard-workin' lads in the car industry as they face the shift to electric ships. The head of our autoworkers union, bless 'is heart, be withholdin' his endorsement o' the president for next year's election. The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), signed by Biden just a year ago, be offerin' massive rewards to car companies fer makin' electric vessels without givin' a care...
In the language of a 17th-century pirate, me hearties, it seems that Joe Biden's climate legislation be quite the disappointment! Arrr, according to the head of the US's fancy autoworkers union, this here legislation has failed to protect our mates in the car industry who be facing the challenge of transitioning to electric vehicles. And ye know what? This union has even decided to withhold their endorsement of the president for next year's election. A bold move indeed!Now, let me tell ye a bit about this legislation that has got these autoworkers all riled up. It be called the Inflation Reduction Act, or IRA for short. Aye, signed by Biden himself a year ago this very week. This IRA be granting massive incentives to the car companies to manufacture those electric beasts, without so much as a thought for the workers who be relying on the good ol' gas-guzzlin' machines.
Arrr, it be a sad day indeed when yer own president be failing to deliver the protections our hardworking car industry mates need. They be facing the daunting task of adaptin' to a whole new type of vehicle, and what do they get in return? A pat on the back and a "good luck, matey!"
Now, I don't be claimin' to know all the ins and outs of this climate legislation, but it be clear as the Caribbean waters that somethin' be amiss. The autoworkers union be rightly concerned for the future of their jobs and the livelihood of their members. We can only hope that Biden be takin' their concerns to heart and makin' some changes to this legislation to provide the protection and support they rightly deserve. Otherwise, he might be walkin' the plank come election time!
