Are you a rail industry recruiter? Idk, Norfolk Southern has already done a spectacular job showing the citizens of East Palestine and surroundings areas of PA, OH and WV what they and the larger rail industry truly stand for and how responsible and conscientious they are.

I can’t really think of a better advertisement as an employer than blowing up 5 cars filled with vinyl chloride after a preventable derailment then getting the tracks fixed ASAP without properly remediating the soil, so that basically the air and water and people in the town and surrounding areas are just f’d. If they treat victims of their derailment like that, I can’t wait to see how they treat their employees.

Where do we sign up?

Big government literally called.

Local government said “nah, we’re good.”

‘Look, the president called me and said, “Anything you need.” I have not called him back after that conversation. We will not hesitate to do that if we’re seeing a problem or anything, but I’m not seeing it.’ — Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine
