Yea, part of the decades-long neoliberal plan to privatize everything

eliminate social services, and establish corporatism. Just another step along the way.

Children of trump are the same as children of the kim-il-suk in north korea

Linchpin of the neoliberal/libertarian economic plan

that has been incrementally implemented since the Powell Memo was written (circa 1970) and the "Chicago Boys" school of economic theory advocated by Milton Friedman was established and shown to be workable in Chile and Argentina. Today, the long-entrenched think-tanks like Heritage Foundation and others established by the Kock brothers, Adolph Coors, Richard Scaife, and others since that time provide funding and political support as well.

Didn't the criminal administration just recently roll back or cancel

regulations requiring the use of safer brakes on trains? Of course they did. The Electronically Controlled Pneumatic Brake, for high-hazard flammable unit trains. I'm sure there's an application of this system that can be used in passenger trains as well, not to mention the Positive Control system.

Of course that is what trump wants

He wants revenge on the whole wold and doesn't care how he gets it. That is his game, period. He and his whole filthy family fuck people. That is who they are, that is what they do, and that is all they do.
