AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Who’s culpable in the Northern Southern derailment? The railroad should assume culpability for the toxins released into East Palestine, Ohio’s air. Why are Railroad workers going on strike? Railroad workers have been arguing for time off, better benefits and safely maintained equipment.

Stop protecting Corporate malfeasance. Americans are dying because American Corporations are not accountable for their equipment and the harm done to our environment. When do we insist and enforce Corporate responsibility? Class Action Lawsuits?
