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.
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!
The engineering is fine, great even. Executives have demanded that the trains run at the red line, for maximum profit. With no safety margin, when something goes wrong it goes really really wrong. That’s why it was so important to hold them accountable and so fucked that we didn’t. It’s just a matter of time until the next accident.
Boats still sink, planes and cars still crash.
Fundamentally, transportation will fail. The question is are these failures within an acceptable rate due to unforseen issues, or is this a problem with the system that operates and profits off of these devices, letting safety slip to maximize profit?
It’s 2024. Why are trains still derailing? Surely there’s a better engineering design than this.

It’s cheaper to pay the fines when accidents happen than it is to run the trains safely. Just the cost of doing business.
Yet if I criticize him, I’m accused of refusing to vote against Trump and told that I’m the problem.

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.

Thats line saying why are bridges still collapsing
Because zero effort has been put into maintenance!
