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 New Orleans District Court Judge has thrown out a lawsuit against several local restaurants charged with over-spicing their crawfish.

Chad Arnold filed a lawsuit against several Marigny, Louisiana- area bars and restaurants after his now ex-girlfriend was served an over-spiced turkey neck. Arnold charged that the crawfish was over-spiced as well.

Orleans Parish Civil District Court Judge Roy Frohmeyer found zero merit in Arnold’s claim and ordered its dismissal on grounds of, “asinine stupidity of the highest order."

According to news reports, Arnold, who suffered a black eye as a result of the matter, has had a change of heart about the case.

“After seeing the reaction from the people, and then obviously getting punched in the face and having someone light a s*** bag on fire on my steps, I realized maybe I was being a little overzealous,” said Arnold. “I have lived here for a year and a half, I have been a regular at Mimi’s in the Marigny for a whole year. I remember how it used to be when they were allowed to have music. I remember how New Orleans used to be. I shouldn’t have tried to change it just because I didn’t like one aspect.”

“I just hope this case serves as an example and people can be a little more tolerant of each other and their differences. I also really hope I don’t get beat up again and have to move back north,” added Arnold.  “It’s about to get cold up there soon. Winter sucks man. Oh and Voodoo Fest is coming. Pearl Jam!!”
