"This [disaster] occurred because of a failure of government. Norfolk Southern was paying its executives 80% of their salary for reducing costs. That's where their bonuses come from. The company should be criminally charged for what it did to this community. It was an act of theft. It stole the property values. It stole the health. It stole the pursuit of happiness from this wonderful community.
Preliminarily, we need to unravel the corporate capture at DOT that allowed this to happen. And right now, President Biden says that he's going to fix this problem and hold them responsible. Why isn't the Attorney General investigating this and filing criminal charges?"
This whole town is a crime scene. What I would love to see President Biden say is, "This happened because of a failure of government. This happened because these agencies are captured, they're corrupt, and I'm not going to tolerate it anymore. I'm going to expose and fire the people who are not doing the proper testing. I'm going to prosecute the people who are responsible at the outset.' Instead of a vague promise that "We're going to take care of everybody.'"
