Something isn't working! Take over the company and figure it out

Lingering questions?

What you mean to say is "the population is sick, they know what caused it, and the railroad is covering it up. Citizens are well aware of what is happening"

There definitely are no questions about it.

Railroad execs: “you know all the safety initiatives we knew we could’ve done that we just choose not to do in order to make more money? I guess everyone’s mad now we better roll them out before they regulate us more. “

Are they actually new, or just reiterations of the previous regulations that were dumped by Trump?

I personally think trains should be shorter because too long of trains (tonnage) makes stopping time longer and unsafe. The Ohio incident was caused by a minor incident that was immediately and properly addressed but the train taking too long to stop due to too much momentum.
