On this #Caturday, George and I would like to remind you that railroads and power grids being privately owned hurts everyone except for the investors. I can't believe it's 2023 and we're still dealing with this.

Appreciate that this statement from my union's General Exec Board ties the argument for public ownership of railroads to the climate fight. "Put simply, the railroads' 'business model' is a direct threat to our ability to leave a livable planet for our children." Written before the #EastPalestine disaster.

Norfolk Southern had a record $4.45 billion in 2021 and spent $4.23B on stock buybacks in 2022. They're worth $53B. They've proven those profits are more important than the safety of their railroaders and the communities they serve. It's time to nationalize the railroads!
