The Intercept reported CSX and Burlington Northern lobbied to delay the implementation of safety regulations after Amtrak's deadly crash in Philadelphia. Union Pacific spent $1.45 million in the second quarter. They spent $1.25 million internally and $200,000 on five lobbying firms.
Union Pacific's board has two former White House Chiefs of Staff, Red team Andy Card and Blue squad Mac McLarty. Last year each earned over $260,000 in board compensation. Given connections are all that matters in our nation's capital Union Pacific's additional $530,000 should help stave off the people's servants.
Profits are more important than people. They're needed to fund political campaigns/ Once elected these servants cater to one public and do their best to ensure their ongoing profitability. That doesn't include people traveling by anything other than private jet.
