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 Missouri man recently sued Apple for $1 trillion, which, if successful, would make him the richest man on earth, overtaking Jeff Bezos and Bill Gates.

Raevon Terrell Parker is suing Apple, claiming the tech giant kept his iPhone 7 after a repair and used “special features” on his phone to develop features in iOS, Apple's mobile operating system. According to news sources, Parker claimed his phone had a special beta version on iOS that gave him special functionality. In his handwritten lawsuit, Parker stated, “The attendant in the Apple Store fixed the device but kept it by deceiving the Plaintiff knowing that it was the first phone to have new features.”

In seeking $1 trillion in damages, Parker justifies the amount by stating he cannot be “compensated for being labeled ‘crazy’”, but that his claim would cover "hospitalizations, travel, distress, humiliation, embarrassment, defamation of character.”

A similar lawsuit filed by Parker in 2019 was unsuccessful.
