    a single glance at any railway accident stats will tell you how deeply unserious this person is.

    china is nowhere near the top. most railway accidents? US (or possibly india, depending on who you believe and how it's counted). most fatalities in railway accidents? south africa.

    but yeah, it's china's railways that are uniquely, especially dangerous.

      remember the east palestine ohio deraiment and when everybody freaked out the rail companies said "dont worry this happens all the time" and then everybody forgot about it.

        I swear, that incident should have instantly ended anarcho-capitalism as a concept right then and there.

        porky-happy: "Train derailments with tons of collateral damage are normal, bro. We have no incentive to change this"

        And people think these types need MORE power?

        I still can't believe that we were all told by Porky and Biden that the giant black cloud engulfing East Palestine was actually perfectly safe, and every Lib just went "okay"
