What happened in East Palestine, Ohio is a feature - not a bug - of unfettered, unregulated corporate power.
Obama tried to regulate more hazardous material on trains, then ended up caving to railroad industry pressure.
Union workers warned about faulty brakes and other safety measures, and the same railroad executives who denied them sick pay ignored their voices.
This isn’t about just one incident; it’s about the dictatorial and deadly power of corporations that put their short term profits before the safety, health, and well-being of people and planet.
The corrupt system that protects them, We the People need to disrupt.
