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 man is suing New York City for $2 undecillion, an amount recognized as more money than there is on Earth.

After allegedly being bitten by a rabid dog on a city bus, Anton Purisima has filed a lawsuit in Manhattan seeking $2,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000. According to news reports, Purisima is suing as a result of the dog bite and the fact that a couple took unauthorized photos of him while he was being treated at a local hospital.  In addition to New York City and Metropolitan Transportation Authority, Purisima is suing two New York hospitals, Kmart, LaGuardia Airport, a bakery and the dog's owner.

Purisima claims in his lawsuit that the pain and suffering he has endured cannot be measured in money and is therefore "priceless."

This is not Purisima's first day in court; Purisima has filed lawsuits in the past against Wells Fargo, JP Morgan, Wachovia and the People's Republic of China.
