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 California man is suing a Studio City sushi restaurant after he claims it gave him a raw deal on the "all-you-can-eat" sushi meal.
 
David Martin has filed suit in Los Angeles Superior Court against A Ca-Shi Restaurant seeking $4,000 in damages for “humiliation, embarrassment and mental anguish.”  Martin, a type-2 diabetic who has to watch his carbohydrate intake, claims he tried to eat the fish only (and not the rice that accompanied his all-you-can-eat sushi meal) and that the owner, Jay Oh, offered to prepare him two orders of sashimi for $25 rather than allow him to eat all he could of sashimi (fish) only.  Martin believes the restaurant wanted him to fill up on rice.
 
According to news reports, Oh said that rice was part of the all-you-can-eat sushi deal (not an all-you-can-eat sashimi deal), “if you only eat the fish, I would go broke.”
 
A hearing in the case is expected next week.
