So i got more curious about #NorfolkSouthernDerailment@nscorp Southern after seeing them post a "Factcheck" article from USA today and on the USA today article at the bottom said it was paid for by a grant from FACEBOOK!

I noticed in their Climate Lobbying Report that
In May 2021, Norfolk Southern Corporation’s shareholders passed a resolution at our annual shareholder’s meeting asking that we evaluate and publish a report describing if, and how, our lobbying activities (direct and through trade
associations and other organizations) align with the goals of the Paris Climate Agreement nscorp.com/content/dam/ns…
And of course we ALL know who is pushing the Paris Climate @POTUS
Following our science-based target commitment, we issued $500 million in green bonds in May 2021 to fund investments to reduce our company’s carbon emissions and help customers reduce their supply-chain emissions.
We reported that about 7% of our total non-deductible lobbying contributions to trade associations and chambers of commerce for 2021 were made to three state railroad associations: the Ohio Railroad Association. (INTERESTING)
In 2020 they Lobbied for $580,000 to The Bipartisan Policy Center and Bipartisan Policy Center Action spend every day getting stuff done for democracy. On behalf of issues like (Student Loan Forgiveness, Legal immigration, S.3894, Growing Climate Solutions Act)
Cincinnati has leased the railway to Norfolk Southern for decades and that lease contract is up for renewal. Apparently they have put up a good fight for it wvxu.org/politics/2023-…
The CSR Board started negotiations in December 2020 with an offer to increase yearly rent from about $25 million a year to $65 million a year, increasing annually with inflation.
Norfolk Southern responded about seven months later in July 2021, offering to buy the railway for $865 million, plus $50 million paid over a period of one to four years. Norfolk Southern didn't even respond to the board's proposed lease terms.
The vote will be on the ballot in Nov.
"While Norfolk Southern has a positive perspective on the future of the rail industry, it also is evident that certain external threats to the industry could manifest themselves over the next
50 years, including re-regulation, autonomous trucking and 3D printing."
Norfolk Southern PAC contributes to mostly Democrats. (This is not the end) I'm adding more
OH look at that *ding ding* we have a winner for Norfolk Southern in the 2020 Presidental race!

Lets not forget Christine Todd Whitman, who as head of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under George W Bush at the time of the 9/11 attacks told the public the air around Ground Zero in New York was safe to breathe, has admitted for the first time she was wrong.
Whitman issued a statement. It said: “I am glad to reassure the people of New York … that their air is safe to breathe and their water is safe to drink.” amp.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/s…

Lets see what the world has to say about the #BalloonShotDown The most plausible explanation for the events of the last three days is that the US military has begun shooting down weather and research balloons, with no serious explanation to the public or to the scientific,
meteorological or aviation community about the change in policy. The greatest intended effect of the series of attacks on unmanned aircraft over the US has been, however, the deliberate effort to whip up fear, panic and hysteria with the aim of making the US population feel
threatened by China, which is in reality being systematically encircled by US military assets deployed on the other side of the globe from American soil. wsws.org/en/articles/20…
Fetterman during the debate was medically declining and it just proves how it's not about who can do the best job. It's about wanting a Democrat in the Senate. That man was clearly is unfit. The party that screams transparency was just fine with him hiding his medical issues.
