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.

A Tennessee man who blames Apple for the demise of his marriage is suing the technology giant, claiming it failed to install any filter in its devices to prevent his porn addiction.
 
Chris Sevier calls Apple a “silent poisoner” responsible for the proliferation of “arousal addiction, sex trafficking, prostitution, and countless numbers of destroyed lives.”  In his 50-page complaint, Sevier claims he had never seen porn of any kind or been to a strip club or sex shop until he got his Apple MacBook.  He further claims that his addiction started when he accidentally replaced the “a-c-e” in Facebook with a “u-c-k,” launching him to an adult website that “appealed to his biological sensibilities as a male and led to an unwanted addiction with adverse consequences.”
 
According to news reports, Sevier alleges that he started to prefer the images on the “F***book site” to his own wife, causing his wife to “disappear” with his son. He further accuses Apple of enabling “unfair competition” between porn actresses and his wife.
 
“The Plaintiff became depressed and despondent, unable to work as a result of observing porn on his MacBook and the impact it caused,” Sevier’s lawyer said.
 
A former attorney, Sevier claims in his complaint that since Apple is “concerned with the welfare of our Nation’s children, while furthering pro-American values” it should “sell all of its devices in ‘safe mode,’ with software preset to filter out pornographic content.” Sevier is seeking damages from Apple, but said he will drop the lawsuit if Apple agrees to sell devices with a “safe mode."
