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.

Unfortunately, a destructive proposal before Congress misleadingly named the "Railway Safety Act" (RSA), part of broader surface transportation reauthorization, threatens great harm to our railroads.

Simply put, the bill has nothing to do with improving safety, but has a lot to do with advancing the political agenda of Big Labor.  At a moment when inflation burdens American families and fragile supply chains remain vulnerable to disruption, the last thing our economy or rail sector need is another costly federal mandate imposed upon one of the nation’s most important transportation sectors.

A New York City restaurant that recently changed its trendy menu from Paleo-heavy to vegan is being sued by its investors after regular CrossFit customers complained about the menu change.

Citing "personal beliefs", manager Kiki Adami, chef Paul Chang and fellow co-owner Alberto Gonzalez of GustOrganics in Greenwich Village switched the menu after watching several documentaries about what they believe is devastation caused by the global meat industry to the environment. According to news reports, the films led them to remove animal products from the menu, a move that infuriated its CrossFit customers who used the restaurant for their Paleo diets. Adami reported receiving 50 hate mails from CrossFit fanatics. "We were their go-to spot," said Adami.

A lawsuit filed in New York Supreme Court alleges that the menu change has "damaged the reputation and sales of the business." Investors further claim that the company should have told them in advance of the restaurant's planned menu change.

Adami defended the move, saying the eatery made a profit this past June for the first time in three years.

“It’s bogus,” she said of the plaintiffs. “We were trying to save a sinking ship.”

Given the late implosion of U.S. Senate candidate Graham Platner in Maine, do you think voters, responsible media and the political parties will begin to seriously investigate political candidates earlier in the process?
