Keep private equity out of railroads which are extremely safety sensitive and should not be allowed to skip safety to enrich a few morally vacant 1%ers. The lesson of East Palestine shoukd wake the government from their stupor and stop allowing small towns to be firebombed in the name of profits.

Safety is important, not stok prices or activest investors who will strip the railroad down the point that derailments happen regularly. This is the reason for East Palestine, Oh and many others. Don’t sacrifice Small towns for profits. The East Palestine disaster is resuktant from Squires the fraud.
