BIG sigh of relief

President Biden, has done it! Looks like no railroad strike!!! Living in Hawaii, we are very, vulnerable about any sort of shipping stoppage. When the news reported, train workers might strike, shivers of fear rise up in me. Walmart would be affected, one of my favorite stores to shop at, too!
Today, national TV news reported, train workers strike averted, due to President Biden I'm intervention! A very big sigh of relief wafted through me.
A strike would have impacted millions and cost the economy an estimated $2bn (£1.7bn) a day.

Good for the people. Glad that the president intervened at a right time and saved people from all the inconveniences.

That's good to hear. The shortages in the stores are bad enough.
