that looks familiar … ah yes …
It follows trash-heap rules and whoever touches it last before it collapses is at fault
no idea – 2 year old post on Reddit titled it as “Chicago Metra Union Pacific Track UP-N line”
How the heck is this safe or acceptable?
There is also, you know, the GQP fighting against any kind of infrastructure funding because that’s “socialism” or something.
Also, love that movie!
Well, it’s not. But repairs cost money, and any money spent on those repairs is money that won’t go to the billionaire ruling class. Obviously that’s no good.
If it’s found a company knew about the problem they should get 5x the pay out.
Nah, companies need to be blown to bits for corruption like that. Hand the company to the FTC to be broken apart Bell Telephone style with a 10 year ban on mergers or acquisition for any mini-company created by the breakup. And make it retroactive for any corruption exposed since the turn of the current century. Make corporate corruption so risky nobody does it anymore plus you can break up all of the monopolies that formed over the last few decades while you’re at it, plus you’re not sending designated scapegoats to prison Hudsucker-style
If this collapse and people die, everyone will be like: “omg, that’s higher forces, no one ever believe this would happen.”
The solution is obviously more tax cuts for the rich.
i like the very subtle bend in it. Just a tiny bit so you know it’s about to give in at any moment.
