I thoroughly enjoyed this latest article….maybe the word isn’t “enjoyed”. Perhaps I should say I found it very provocative.
I was born in Kokomo, Indiana, in 1949 but our family moved to southwest Ohio in 1955 when my father took a position in sales for a steel company based in Kokomo. I still have many family members living in and around the Kokomo area. In particular, I have a male cousin who I spoke to just yesterday who worked for Chrysler until he retired a couple of years ago. We discussed the UAW strike at length and as it turns out, he knows Shawn Fain, and knew his father who was Chief of Police in Kokomo.
I gathered from our conversation that my cousin and I both agreed that Mr. Fain is a bit of an arrogant
persona but maybe that’s what is needed in these negotiations for the Union members.
I am glad Biden has taken the approach he has to this strike but I feel badly for him that it has occurred on his watch. Somehow he will be blamed for it just like another cousin of mine in Indiana is somehow blaming Biden for the loss of an F-35 aircraft. I find that to be ludicrous!
Keep up your Substack writing and I wish you well.
