    Rail workers do not have the proper time to fully inspect cars and arrange them in the proper order due to understaffing and the high volume created by maximized rail schedules that prioritize profits over safety.

    That’s a huge reason why rail workers wanted to go on strike before there was bipartisan cooperation led by Biden to take away their labor rights.

      led by Biden to take away their labor rights.

      Yet if I criticize him, I’m accused of refusing to vote against Trump and told that I’m the problem.
