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.

A New York personal injury lawyer recently filed a lawsuit against his upscale NYC gym because it stopped serving breakfast. 

Richard Katz is suing New York City's Setai Club & Spa Wall Street, claiming their misleading actions were illegal, despicable, reckless, malicious, deliberate and immoral.  Katz, who pays a $5,000 annual membership fee, states in his complaint that the gym promised “full complimentary breakfast” knowing that they would not be able to make good on the offer and that Katz relied on that promise to his detriment.

"It was a full-blown hotel breakfast," said Katz, 53, who lives in the West Village with his wife.  "I'd go to the gym in the morning, have a spa and a nice quiet breakfast and do some work -- they mucked it all up."

Katz is seeking $750,000 in damages.
