After Ohio rail disaster, Buttigieg is silent on restoring the safety standards Trump repealed
When a freight train carrying toxic chemicals derailed near East Palestine, Ohio, bursting into flame and sending up clouds of poisonous vinyl chloride smoke and gas, our immediate concerns were for the people in harm’s way and the train crew:
https://www.nytimes.com/2023/02/04/us/train-derailment-fire-palestine-ohio.html
If you’d like an essay-formatted version of this post to read or share, here’s a link to it on pluralistic.net, my surveillance-free, ad-free, tracker-free blog:
https://pluralistic.net/2023/02/11/dinah-wont-you-blow/#ecp
But those immediate concerns were soon joined by a broader set of worries: that the entire rail industry presented a systematic danger, and the Ohio derailment was a symptom of a much deeper pathology that endangered anyone who lives near one of the rail corridors that crisscross America.
The rail industry is the poster child for corporate power, and rail barons were among the first targets of Gilded Age trustbusters who saw the rail monopolies as a threat to the prosperity and wellbeing of Americans, as well as the integrity of the American political system itself.
40 years of neoliberal “consumer welfare” antitrust — starting with Reagan and continuing through every administration since — has seen the American rail sector achieve levels of concentration that meet and exceed the corrupt, untenable degree of the late 19th century.
Like the original rail barons, the current crop (including the self-styled cuddly billionaire Warren Buffett), have gutted rail investment, skirted on safety, maimed and abused their workforce, smashed their unions, and placed the entire US supply chain in a state of brittle precarity:
https://pluralistic.net/2022/02/04/up-your-nose/#rail-barons
Like all monopolists, the rail industry has been able to capture its regulators, trampling evidence-based policy and replacing it with rules that benefit shareholders at the expense of the public, labor, and customers.
https://doctorow.medium.com/regulatory-capture-59b2013e2526
This regulatory capture is an inevitable consequence of market concentration. When an industry is composed of dozens of small- and medium-sized firms, they are unable to converge on a single story about which rules regulators should favor them with: some of those companies will want things the others don’t, and each will vie to produce evidence disconfirming the others’ claims.
But when an industry dwindles to a handful of cozy giants whose C-suites are stuffed with company-hopping executives who’ve done time at every major company in the sector, they converge on a single fairy tale about the best way to regulate their industry, and convert their regulators’ truth-seeking exercises into rigged auctions that they handily win:
https://locusmag.com/2022/03/cory-doctorow-vertically-challenged/
That’s what happened during the Trump years, when rail lobbyists secured the repeal of a long-overdue, hard-won safety regulation that would have required rail companies to replace the Civil-War-era brakes on their rolling stock with modern electronically controlled pneumatic brakes (ECPs):
https://jacobin.com/2023/02/rail-companies-safety-rules-ohio-derailment-brake-sytems-regulations
The repeal cost millions in lobbying dollars, but it was worth it. Shortly after the ECP rule was scrapped, Norfolk Southern handed millions in bonuses to its execs and did billions in stock buybacks, while laying offf thousands of workers:
https://www.fool.com/investing/2018/10/25/norfolk-southern-implements-massive-buyback-progra.aspx
Elections, we’re told, have consequences. After Biden won the 2020 presidential election, he made a string of excellent appointments — people like FTC chair Lina Khan, who hit the ground running with detailed plans for making sweeping, consequential changes that would blunt corporate power, reverse-Trump era abuses, and correct the dysfunctions that created a political base for Trump:
https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2021/08/party-its-1979-og-antitrust-back-baby
But other Biden appointees arrive in office with much less ambition. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg has spent his tenure as King Log, failing to take action on spiraling airline cancellations, confining his major enforcement action to fining foreign airlines while ignoring the out-of-control abuses of America’s domestic carriers, except for the also-ran airline Frontier, which accounts for less than 2% of domestic travel:
https://pluralistic.net/2023/01/16/for-petes-sake/#unfair-and-deceptive
There are striking similarities between the structural defects in the airlines and the rail companies: both are highly concentrated sectors who have laid off senior staff, attacked unions, and blown billions in public money on stock buybacks and executive bonuses, even as their service degraded.
Both industries have been sharply criticized by experts and industry veterans, who’ve called for specific regulation. In the case of the airlines, SWA pilots and flight attendants had sounded the alarm about antiquated scheduling systems; for the rail companies, it’s experts like Grady Cothen, formerly a top safety expert at the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), who told Congress that without action on braking systems, “[there] will be more derailments, more releases of hazardous materials, more communities impacted”:
https://www.congress.gov/event/117th-congress/house-event/LC69424/text?s=1&r=9
Despite these warnings, and despite the near-misses and smaller disasters that led up to the 100-foot-tall fireball over Ohio, Buttigieg’s DOT has not moved to reinstate the Obama-era brake safety rule, deferring to the monopoly rail owners self-serving claim that there is no need for such a move:
https://jacobin.com/2023/02/department-of-transportation-train-brake-regulation-ohio-derailment/
Indeed, the FRA is currently considering a rule that would further weaken braking rules, reducing obligations to inspect, test and certify braking systems:
https://www.regulations.gov/document/FRA-2019-0072-0005
The rail labor unions — the best source of independent expertise on the daily operation of the freight system — say that this would be a disaster: “Following through with a final rule would only deliver yet another financial windfall to rail carriers by eliminating inspections, testing and repairs, and deferring routine maintenance”:
https://www.goiam.org/news/territories/tcu-union/carmen-division-tcu/rail-labor-files-joint-comments-on-fras-nprm-2/
Serving as Transportation Secretary to the President of the United States of America makes you one of the most powerful people in the history of the human race. The Secretary’s powers, while not unlimited, are extensive. The American people need a DoT that works for them, not one that weakens safety rules:

So finally went through the Scott Pilgrim comic in 2023 after having watched the movie and Takes Offf and yeaaaaaaah...I have thoughts especially since for years now I've been told some things that don't ring true. Hell I've heard for so long people singing the praises of the comic as some golden thing, but really its just a version of the story that isn't massively above the others.
So if not wanting to see someone take issue with the comics don't look below the cut:
I don't like or sympathize with Scott at all. He's a real piece of shit no matter what iteration. "Its supposed to be a growth thing"; except that its not. He's just a piece of shit at his core and nothing suggests it hugely changing.
Nothing is more infuriating that Scott basically being a damn harem protag with every girl in the comics having interest in him at various points for NO DAMN REASON. What REALLY hit a nerve for me? Lisa who seemed to break this damn annoyance, in like v5 falling right the fuck into it. I already despise harem, but especially in this case where the dude is such a piece of shit. Kim should NOT have continued to have any damn interest in Scott in present either, cause she should've known better. Which is actually the wart on the side of the character developments that the comic definitely does have for one like Kim, but its tied to Scott in a romantic manner as most are.
I don't like or ship Ramona/Scott, ESPECIALLY in the OG comic. If anything I ship Kim/Ramona in it; Ramona on her own in the movie; and Ramona/Roxie in Takes Off.
I easily prefer Ramona's characterization in the movie and Takes Off over the OG comic. They treat her way more maturely and seriously and uniformly vs. the comic having her being jealous, aloof in a childish manner, and edgy. The movie started the ball in making her more mature and serious; Take Off ran with it and perfected it.
There's more character building in the comic, but the movie is way better with compressing the Exes confrontation; rather than jumping months from one fight to another
Roxie is done so much better in Takes Off
One unique thing to the comics though: longer hair Ramona. Like take all my YES.
So if anything all the iterations are 7/7/7 or 8/8/8 out of 10's; not the comic being a 10/10 vs. the others lacking.
