Oh wow, it was corporate greed and not DEI that did this? What a fucking surprise /s

I was also “graced” with multiple ads for anti-Biden and pro-Trump shirts on Salon. What a timeline.

It's always corporate greed whether it's Boeing or Baltimore.

on the one hand, Republicans gut federal agencies.. but on the other they want to know why infrastructure is falling apart, and why corporations are running shoddy equipment that puts everyone in danger.. trains crashing because of lack of regulation.. planes falling apart because of lack of regulation.. ships crashing into bridges because of lack of regulation and oversight.. it's pretty simple, you fucking chimps..

They don't understand that capitalism without regulation is a public risk, nor that infrastructure and services are deeply intertwined.

[–] NegativeInf@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago (1 children)

No, they absolutely know those things. Capitalism without regulation is not a risk to them. Collapse of infrastructure and the frustration of the legitimate processes of government are 100% the plan. While some of them play idiots on TV, they know exactly what they are doing. They are just bad at it. They aren't really attracting the best and the brightest to their cause.

And when it all crumbles it can be sold to third parties and the dream of privatizing every single aspect of the country can be complete.

Sounds like the USA was just a big exit scam

Every regular person needs to learn about negative externalities. I’m not even asking for people to learn more socialist principles which I wouldn’t mind; we’d be in much better shape if people just understood basic capitalist economic principles.

“If you look at the issues of East Palestine, the issues of Boeing, and now this maritime disaster — our transportation system is under attack and it's corporate greed every step of the way that led to these issues." [Ronald Rexha]

This is what happens when you try to stop paying people to do things right. Rushed and flawed maintenance jobs, skeleton crews on marine vessels, locomotives and aircraft, vastly increasing the size of each vessel to increase the responsibility of each crew. Tragedies like these are the price we all pay for companies' cost-cutting.

A very wishy washy testimonial from the experts that doesn't support the thesis. Union safety supposedly saving those guys? No way. Tugs maybe, but he specifically didn't want to say this port policy was wrong for not using tugs out the whole river. Regaining rudder control after loss of power if the ship wasn't automated? No way.
