It’s been eight months since a catastrophic Norfolk Southern train derailment turned life upside down for people living in and around East Palestine, Ohio. While East Palestine has faded from the headlines, though, residents are still in desperate need of help, which they say they are not getting from Norfolk Southern or from their government. What has been done in the last eight months to help the people of East Palestine and to hold Norfolk Southern accountable for this disaster? What is being done on the legislative side to address the conditions on the railroads that have run railroad workers into the ground and put communities like East Palestine at perpetual risk, all while ensuring record profits for the rail companies and their shareholders? How can railroad workers and East Palestine residents work together to make sure catastrophes like this never happen again? In this special livestream, TRNN Editor-in-Chief Maximillian Alvarez will speak with Chris and Jessica Albright, two residents of East Palestine, and retired railroad engineer and former Iowa State Representative Jeff Kurtz.

  1. Mutli-Billion Dollar settlements (as partial payment for the variety of [preventable] injuries of all the innocent victims – that nearly bankrupt the Corporations and their Insurance carriers – is about the only thing that will fix the "bottom line" fixated decision makers.

    Since that would greatly (negatively) affect their bottom lines, it will then be the Insurance Carriers that will force the Corporations to put back "Safety First" policies – in order to be able to get Insurance at all – or at less than exorbitant rates going forward.

  2. Corporations are psychopathic beasts, & as such they have no regard for, & pay attention to the harms done by their immoral actions in pursuit of maximum profit.
    The perverse incentives that exist in America exist because democracy has failed, having been captured by the corporate interest.

  3. Left +Right Paradigms = UniParty!
    We are all Americans. Local, State, & Federal Government is corrupt on every level.
    Law ? Enforcement are their private Army who will do what they are told to do regardless of right or wrong. Evil.gov

  4. WHERE IS THEIR WELL REGULATED MILITIA? THIS IS WHAT IT IS FOR! THEIR LIFE, PERSONAL PROPERTY, AND FREEDOM HAS BEEN DESTROYED. THEY NEED TO SHOW THESE GREEDY OLIGARCHS THAT THEY CAN'T GET AWAY WITH THIS!

  5. 'Precision railroading' my foot. Don't be afraid to speak. And don't that creosote pop up and hit you neither. Maintenance of way laborers know what the hell I'm talking about when they're swinging that hammer. 😊

  6. 🦉I HAVEN'T FORGOTTEN, I ADD EAST PALESTINE, 9/11 & NOW MAUI⚘️

    🧐 Now sheepsville 🐑, where politicians use my cities reputation as a stepping stone to build their unearned credentials ~👎🏽

  7. Humans can present themselves before the law, above the statute. I wonder how many Americans will renounce their citizenship. I know the answer isn't zero.

  8. Only companies that run by workers will fix this. Nothing will change until the workers, not profits, will be able to hold and control all aspects of life themselves.

  9. Listening to the retired union representative it is apparent neither railway board members, nor judges presiding over court hearings understood / understand how railways work. When it is explained the trains are too long and too heavy for the system to operate safely that is a technical fact too difficult to understand. Surely not, a child could understand. There has to be some other reason for not understanding. Perhaps it's wrong headed intent, profiteering regardless of safety concerns, government complicity for bribes – votes, the system? The latter seem to fit the facts. It can be summarised as evil at work and should be treated and prosecuted as such. I don't know if that's possible in the USA of today?

  10. When Maximilian Alvarez speaks, ** gets real when the working class and ordinary citizens get swerved by Corporate America and Daddy Government
