Started reading it and got upset because god I wish all these executives get sentenced to life sentences at ADX Florence, but also that I'm not sure how much de-regulation can be done because while we do have excess regulation, prevent corporations from gaslighting society is a good thing, ala why the Surgeon General's Warning even exists to begin with as an example.
There's iron-triangle reinforcing 'king-maker' legislation by (over)regulation; then there's 'written in blood' safety regulations. One of the larger concerns (and few valid concerns of the Left, amidst its scaremongering) is that in scraping the former the Trump admin will also get rid of the latter. The left makes hay by conflating the two categories.
In light of FEMA dysfunction and East Palestine/TSA & EPA failures, maybe there isn't as much to save as the Left makes out-- but replacements or preservation of those 'written in blood' lessons should rightly be on the agenda for any regulatory overhaul.
I’ve actually watched way too many train wreck video essays on YouTube, and IIRC, the reason East Palestine was as bad as it was is because the specific train cars that contained the chemicals were the old model that was supposed to have been replaced ages ago, as a result of the Lac-Megantic wreck in Canada a decade earlier
If Boards and CEOs of Corporations were actually held accountable for the behavior of corporations, we wouldn't see such corruption. But as there are literally zero consequences apart from stock loss, corporations will continue to rape and plunder. I propose we go back to pre-1886 when corporate personhood was established in the US.

Everyone in Québec remembers the horror of the town center in flames and 50 people burned alive.
2000 evacuated from a small city of 6000 people.
I'd argue it's mostly been forgotten.
The hoax graves in Kamloops get 100x the coverage.

The kinda funny thing is the Redditor who posted this won't see how this is analogous to the COVID vaccines/clotshots.
