 What if the October surprise is that this strike was done on purpose so Kamala can come in and say she helped negotiate a deal. Right now, she is polling at a record low for a Democrat amongst union workers. It's almost the perfect setup and would make sense why they had no urgency to push for a deal. Let it go on long enough where people feel some pain, then come in and play the hero. Her numbers amongst union workers would sky rocket right before the election. https://v.nostr.build/OQV0YRxGrlbefCWg.mp4

 This strike was incredibly well telegraphed. It's been in the news for several weeks.  
 food for thought, good call  
 Whether Kamala likes it or not, the current administration party's candidate always inherits the credit/blame for the state of affairs left by that administration - even more so for Kamala, being an executive of that administration.  And, as blowhard James Carville once famously popularized: "It's the economy, stupid".

The modal voter isn't going to care who caused or ended the strike.  All they'll know is that the economy isn't working for them, and that the strike will have made it worse.  So, while I hear what you're saying, it wouldn't make much sense to me for her or her supporters to have purposely orchestrated this strike. But, then again, I would never put anything past a politician in desperation mode. 
 Pulling out all the stops 
 Its all on purpose. Every guberment situation is made up by them to fuck the little guys.. some are right it sounds like they want Americans fighting each other more than we are already  
 Darn weather threw them a hurricane to deal with
