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.

According to news reports, plaintiff Gabriel Johnson filed a class action lawsuit alleging that Apple overcharged customers by advertising and distributing $0.99 gift cards before subsequently raising prices for certain songs to $1.29. Johnson’s suit claimed Apple moved from the $0.99 model to a higher-quality track for $1.29 but during the transition continued to promote $0.99 songs.

Although Apple denied the allegations, in order to avoid the cost of litigation, both parties agreed to a settlement in which some customers will get a $3.25 credit -- and the lawyers will get millions.
