BlackKnight10k Why, though? This is cheaper for the railroad than regulation.

This guy?

What about punishing CEO’s that pushed fear on the American public through MainstreamMedia

And when Republicans were in charge, they rolled back the restrictions to make people like him more wealth. Less safety for all of us = more money for him. That’s the Phucking problem. Phucked!! Don’t vote for Republicans!!

Please keep exposing these crooks! It does matter!

I wish him well
