No that's exactly the problem I think it is. If they're mandated to turn a profit the federal government then has a perverse incentive to have weak regulation that allows greater profit margins.

No the problem as it manifests isn’t reduced regulation but basically zero service outside the northeastern corridor

As far as I'm aware both the recent large accidents were due to lack of maintenance due to lack of regulation spurred by greed and costing lives.

As far as I’m aware the recent accidents weren’t Amtrak
