So-Called "Railway Safety Act" Constitutes a Political Handout to Big Labor That Does Nothing to Improve Safety At All

America as we know it was built largely upon and because of our rail industry, and today it remains a pillar of our economy.

Unfortunately, a destructive proposal before Congress misleadingly named the "Railway Safety Act" (RSA), part of broader surface transportation reauthorization, threatens great harm to our railroads.

Simply put, the bill has nothing to do with improving safety, but has a lot to do with advancing the political agenda of Big Labor.  At a moment when inflation burdens American families and fragile supply chains remain vulnerable to disruption, the last thing our economy or rail sector need is another costly federal mandate imposed upon one of the nation’s most important transportation sectors.

The plaintiffs claim they would never have purchased the QuickTrim products if they had known the truth. Rather, they claim they were misled for years by the unsubstantiated lies put out by the sisters through commercials, magazines and social media, including a tweet on Twitter by Kim that said, "Our QuickTrim cleanse will be massive! Khloe has already lost so much weight."

Remarkably, media reports indicate that the Kardashian camp is silent on the issue.
