One has to ask why trains aren’t automated
and operated like military drones, remotely.
But but but...Joe was working on the rails with John Henry himself, he’s a steel driving man!
Good, that’ll teach these fools they “elected” a fool...no, wait....
I wouldn’t, but you do realize it applies to Obama also.
Both of them have that trait.
Working conditions?
You mean they need to work on trains and such?
Why go for just a few tacos... when you can get a whole enchilada.
Ha

No pudding for you, Pedo.

But but but...Joe was working on the rails with John Henry himself, he’s a steel driving man!
It’ll be Cornelius Vanderbilt tomorrow.......
Helluva way to run a railroad. Do we have to depend on an army of gnomes to break the impending strike?
Railroads have always had a dicey relationship with whatever governing power they deal with. First a monopoly given to “encourage” the rail builders to move into a territory to be served, then punishing taxes because they cannot simply pull up stakes and go an alternative route. Then when the railroad bosses could not or would not comply with the directives that came down from the governing authority, they were threatened with government takeover, or by fining the limited liability corporations into bankruptcy. When these railroad bosses came to the government for assistance in rebuilding stretches of railroad infrastructure after some great natural disaster, the government did not want to “interfere with the workings of private capital”.
Railroads have been in retreat since the turn of the 20th Century. That any at all exist today is a testament to the inertia of the huge transportation complex that is woven together in a patchwork of scarcities and overcapacity.
