 The toxic train wreck in Ohio is only the latest tragic example of corporate greed leaving innocent people to pay the price. Deadly chemicals like vinyl chloride spilled out of the wrecked Norfolk Southern train, sickening locals and killing wildlife. It may be years before we know the full extent of the damage. How on earth does something like this actually happen? Major rail companies like Norfolk Southern put off installing modern braking systems on their trains. An investment that might have prevented this disaster. It's not for lack of money. The seven biggest railroad companies, including Norfolk Southern, collectively spent $191 billion dollars on stock buybacks this past decade. They also chose to spend millions of dollars lobbying politicians in Washington to repeal safety regulations that would have required them to make their trains safer. For too long, corporations have been given the green light to maximize profits, no matter the cost to workers or our communities. We must hold them accountable and demand that they operate in the best interests of everyone, not just their shareholders. Is that really so much to ask?
