Rail workers do not have the proper time to fully inspect cars and arrange them in the proper order due to understaffing and the high volume created by maximized rail schedules that prioritize profits over safety.

That's a huge reason why rail workers wanted to go on strike before there was bipartisan cooperation led by Biden to take away their labor rights.

It's cheaper to pay the fines when accidents happen than it is to run the trains safely. Just the cost of doing business.

led by Biden to take away their labor rights.

Yet if I criticize him, I'm accused of refusing to vote against Trump and told that I'm the problem.

That's only because you individually have been made responsible for the election. Every one else was at the meeting and didn't want the job. Good luck, and don't choose wrong!

This is a pretty funny response. It made me smile. Genuine thanks.

They only tell you your the problem? I got called a Chinese psy-op the other day.
