    The optimist in me wants to believe that he realized that was a mistake and now has an opportunity to do the right thing this time.

      Biden has shown that he is willing to change his opinions and actions when he makes a mistake. He voted for Defense of Marriage Act back in the 90’s, but IIRC after he became friends with an aid who happened to be trans (yeah, trans ≠ gay, but I guess they’re close enough in some people’s eyes) his opinions on LGBT people changed and he now strongly supports gay marriage. Point being, he could have changed his mind about striking workers too.

        That’s what a lot of people don’t like to acknowledge, that individuals can learn and change. That they aren’t always who they were.
