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.

Sue, of course. At least that's what a Brooklyn man did.

Sean McGinn, a 37-year-old TV producer, sued Match.com alleging that the popular matchmaking website dangles phony date bait by posting profiles of people who no longer subscribe to the service.

In a class action suit filed in a Manhattan federal court, McGinn seeks an unspecified amount of damages in excess of $5 million against Match.com for inflicting “humiliation and disappointment” on lonely hearts “who feel rejected when their e-mails get no reply.” McGinn is demanding that the Internet's largest dating site “cease and desist its deceptive practices.”

According to the lawsuit, “Match's policy causes severe emotional distress and anxiety for some [subscribers], including those who keep writing e-mails to one member after another and never hear back because he/she is writing to people who've canceled."

McGinn declined to comment, but his lawyer did say that shortly after filing the suit, McGinn “met someone he's happy with” through the site.

To date, the lawsuit remains active.
