John Oliver takes on trains.
Key points: safety (of workers and the public) is fourth in the list of priorities (meaning, it's not one), while "customer satisfaction" is the first one--where customers are the corporations shipping fuel and toxic chemicals through cities, especially poor (and mostly Black) neighborhoods. See the meaning of "wrong side of the tracks"
And yet, #RailRoadWorkers aren't allowed to strike.
Because "the economy" and "public good".

#Democrats let #RoeVWade be overturned. They left us to die in the ongoing #SARSCoV2 #COVID19 #Pandemic They let #AffirmativeAction & #StudentLoanCacellation be overturned. They left #EastPalestineOhio to die of poisoning after stopping #RailroadWorkers from striking. They arm & fund literal #Nazis in #Ukraine while gearing up for war with #China. They're petulantly retaining a senile rapist, child molester, & war criminal for #2024 but expect to win against #Trump or #DeSantis.

CW: Trains blocking children's path to school (literally)
Given that Biden made it illegal for the #RailroadWorkers to strike, it's rich that Buttigieg is now "shocked" that #NorfolkSouthern gives exactly zero shits about the risk to children's lives.
Remember: one of the concerns of railroad workers was the length of the trains. See: constant derailments.
This could have been addressed, the government didn't want that to happen.

When I think about the rail derailment in OH, I can't help but think of the ways that this disaster is the perfect storm of crumbling infrastructure, an unsafe industry stuck in the early 20th century, terrible environmental policy, awful labor practices, and class warfare.
Both Dems & GOP are on the hook for their policy decisions leading to this.
Who's going to tell that truth?

CW: Ohio, U.S. politics, railroad strike, acid rain, poisoned public
I recommend reading this piece by More Perfect Union.
These companies spend money lobbying for fewer regulations--and they get their way and fatter pockets. Meanwhile, we keep seeing more derailments--there were two on Monday alone!--more environmental destruction, and more suffering.

RWU received a remarkable outpouring of support and solidarity in 2022 as the railroad workers' struggle for a fair contract caught national attention. Now we hope to get a huge camapign jump started and up-and-running!
We are contracting with WorkFriends, a pro-union media strategy firm run by filmmaker & strategist Peter Lyngso to run a video campaign to elevate our call for Public Ownership of the Railroads.

There's an update to the QZ piece, and, will you look at this: this has happened before, the EPA has covered for the railroad companies before, and the residents/the public have paid with their health/lives for the big honchos' profits.

The braking system in the railroads that carry so-called 'bomb trains' (like the one that derailed in #Ohio this week), date to the U.S. Civil War. That's one hundred and sixty years ago.
Look who gets the money and who dies over it:

"There are videos of folks in East Palestine who lost all of their livestock (chickens) and dead fish in the rivers they say is safe to drink. A reporter was assaulted by police, but you know it's safe. 55 billion dollar train company casually causing death and destruction."This is an environmental disaster that will affect millions in short order.
