You are correct, sir.  Sorry for the sloppy math.

Just saw a news article that a building in NYC collapsed.  There was also another explosion in Ohio.

A Norfolk Southern train derailed in Alabama on Thursday—at the same time the company's CEO Eric Shaw was testifying to Congress about the toxic East Palestine train derailment. Around 30 empty train cars came off the tracks in Calhoun County, local reports said, and no one was injured. There's no risk of hazardous materials in the Alabama derailment, according to the county sheriff.

A private railway who lobbied for safety deregulation derailed again. Shocker.

Remember the Ford Pinto? Executives let the design go ahead because the bean counters said it would be cheaper to deal with the lawsuits then it would be to redesign the car.

Well I am thinking this is the thinking here. Regardless this is criminal in my mind.

It's only criminal if the prosecutor can get a conviction. 

Otherwise it's just a business cost.

The whole prosecution/legal side of things in America seem way too political for consistent success against corporate decisions that malevolently put profits before public interests.

It makes no difference what men think of war, said the judge.  War endures.  As well ask men what they think of stone.  War was always here.  Before man was, war waited for him.  The ultimate trade awaiting its ultimate practitioner.  That is the way it was and will be.  That way and not some other way.

If they made nothing but WWII games, I'd be perfectly content.  Hypothetical matchups from alternate history 1980s, asymmetrical US-bashes-some-3rd world guerillas, or minor wars between Upper Bumblescum and outer Kaboomistan hold no appeal for me.

I guess it's sort of nice that the word "tactical" seems to refer to some kind of seriousness during your moments of mental clarity.

Wasn't that the plot for, "Toxic Avenger"? I forget.
