Are we sure he doesn't actually just mean that he fought in the Civil War for the North or something? It would make a bit more sense, but I'm pretty sure he would've fought for the confederates instead.

I love it when USA workers strike. They should do that more often.

The UAW has a $825m strike fund that is set to compensate workers $500 a week while out on strike and could support all of its members for about three months.

CEOs already trying to figure out if they can avoid negotiations for 4 months upon reading this.
