Nothing to see here move along people. No problems with our executive branch exists.

There are about 1700 derailments per year in the US.

Ya that’s a lot isn’t it. Especially considering the effects just one derailment can have on human life and the environment. Some reports indicate that 25 to 30 million people could be affected from toxins released from the derailment in East Palestine, OH.
I’m pretty sure in this day and age there must be technology available which can improve the civil war era undercarriage and brake systems. Basic monitoring systems that can at least notify operators there’s been a goddamn fire raging on one of their cars for the last twenty miles. Instead of finding out after they’ve derailed, spilling carcinogens and toxins all over god’s green earth.

While the East Palestine derailment was preventable, the response by both Norfolk Southern and Biden Admin is a dismal failure. And rather than look for scapegoats, they should be working to repair and/or mitigate the damage caused to the area, and address the specific failure that caused this derailment (I have a feeling when all is said and done is that standard safety protocols were not adhered to). |

I know, I wasn’t sure what he meant by the statement so I took a chance . Been keeping up on it seems both sides of the house are starting to wonder what the heck is going on with NFS and some are calling on the CEO to make an appearance before congress. Regardless whether anyone thinks the number of derailments are a lot or not. Someone needs to drive their size 12 boondocker up someone’s butt. Considering the toxic fallout, that derailment in East Palestine, OH was one too many. In this country we have a luxury other countries don’t. We can usually get answers faster if we fire off respectful nasty grams demanding answers. We shouldn’t be defending any of those freeloaders on the hill.

Fair enough. Now I'll speak to the second half of your statement.
The following sensors are used on trains; Speed Sensors. Vibration Sensors. Pressure Sensors. Humidity Sensors. Position Sensors. Temperature Sensors. Level Sensors. Now I'm not a train buff so I don't know exactly how those sensors are integrated into the safe operation of a train. But I would guess the train engineman has a way to monitor them, and a procedure to follow when those readings are out of norm. on the other hand tracks need to be visually inspected on a regular interval, depending on the "classification" of the track (tracks are classed according to speed rating, and there are 6 ratings). Almost all tracks get a weekly inspection, and if the track carries passenger trains in addition to freight, they are inspected twice a week. |

Yes, because we already know they will do anything it takes, in their book no sin is verboten if you're aligned against President Trump.

An end in failure or failures without end? Choose your poison.

So MTG calls for US military strikes on Mexico. Doesn't this twit understand that's an act of war? US citizens buys drugs from Mexico, Mexican citizens buy firearms from the US and both governments have made it illegal. Should Mexico launch strikes on the US gun dealers?

So, the America First MAGA party's plan to hold the US economy hostage over raising the debt ceiling will cost millions of US taxpayers their jobs no matter what according to this Moody's Analytics report (see page eight). All this just to prop up little man Trump's ego fest and force a recession during Biden's term.
