Per this source, a 25 mile radius includes 585,000 people. That means (before lawyer fees so imagine half in actuality), Norfolk-Southern wants to give $1,000 per person for permanently poisoning not only their property but their body which is now forever scarred. This was filed for approval by the Plaintiff (people hurt) but as shown in the story and simple math show this can’t be appropriate for a company with billions in revenue. Unfortunately this may also (not sure about insurance’s involvement) represent a third of their cash on hand 2023 Annual Report pdf page 58/their k48. I personally believe this is unjust and would love to hear other opinions and/or other information such as the index number for this (I have not diligently searched/PACER looked, but usually at least one news sources mentions a caption or docket number).
Biden broke a rail strike that was largely about both pay and worker safety in 2022. East Palestine happened 3 months later and if you don’t understand the connection I don’t know what to tell you.
Yea, the robber Barron’s that refused to give sick leave unless you scheduled it 30 days out and reduced the total crew of most trains to 2, and own the railways.
Wanna do some real shit?? The government should own the rail and perform the maintenance and upkeep. But then the poow wittle wobber bawwons wouldn’t get fat stacks from cutting corners. You wanna put a train on the US Rail? Shits gotta be staffed, inspected, and length limited. But I don’t really think that would be the outcome you want either, as you seem oddly focused on Biden.
That’s exactly what should happen. I don’t know why you think supporting Biden would get us that outcome though.
You asked me to be specific, and then said I was oddly focused on him? Both parties are failing the people of East Palestine, my original point is its disingenuous to blame the victims when who they voted for wouldn’t have changed their situation.
