I remember when this was dismissed as a right-wing conspiracy theory.

Might as well believe in God if you’re going to believe in spontaneous accidental creation…
The Big Bang theory was created by a Catholic priest. So yes.

I'm going to to laugh at the bad takes on this thread, and await a more accurate report.
Dutch roll is undesirable, but its a basic consequence of some converging aeronautical effects.
Yes but the alarming thing here is the damaged PCU...
that is the dirty truth. All of those feel-good minimum wage laws are in fact stealing wages from those workers. Those workers were OK to work for those wages before the law. Now they have nothing.
The result is now higher unemployment and use of tax-dollar to subsidize those people.
Yes. More people should take note that there's always unintended consequences with price controls. It usually makes things much worse.
Reminds me of: https://www.lenconnect.com/story/opinion/columns/2013/09/23/...
As a reminder for those that don't follow this in detail: One of the main pushes of this bill would be requiring at least 2 people on all freight trains to "help improve safety".
Can you guess how many engineers there were on the East Palastine train? 3.
That obvious had no impact on this incident. As others have pointed out, more engineers are a security/safety theaters solution. It also makes unions happy, as it means they need to employ more people.
This is a terrible bill that was reactionary at the time, and does nothing to actually improve safety.

Over the past decade the Class 1's have been working towards doing 1 man crew's. But they're still 2 man at minimum. This bill achieves nothing. This is a "hey we did something about it! (please don't read what's in the bill and catch us bullshitting)."
What they should be doing is looking at the absurd increase in length of these trains to increase profits for the sake of safety, and the shortcutting of car maintenance. The latter which would've caught this issue to begin with.

That's why I don't pay attention to any new Google products, which always come out to be a wasteful investment.
I haven't signed up to use any new Google products in years because of this and I'm continually validated in my decision.

The result of trying to strip ourselves of tradition no doubt. Astrology is a joke.
This fast paced transition doesn't sit right with me, still. I feel like people are turning a blind eye to the negative environmental impacts this is going to have.
