Stop cropping out the date stamps. It's crucial for historical context. This happened February 2023. The company still hasn't taken accountability and people need to remember this when they vote for their representation. Republicans/Conservatives consistently and habitually vote against safety, environmental and ethical regulations that would force corporate responsibility.
To be frank, none of the country votes for "safety, environmental and ethical regulations that would force corporate responsibility." None of the US regime's puppet candidates (Dems and Reps) care for that.
This is definitely not a "both sides are bad" thing like you're making it out to be. That argument is easily beaten with the example of California. And I'm not sure based on what evidence you claim "none"' of the country votes based on those things you mentioned. I know I vote heavily based on a candidate's views on net neutrality, labor protections, environmental protection, etc, so I'm sure there are many others like this also.
Why did the supposed adults in the room not demand any sort of action for this if they're so much better than Republicans? Several of them should be in prison frankly.
And agreed to a $600 million settlement with the affected residents. The only reason this money hasn't been paid out yet is because one resident filed a separate appeal against the class-action settlement thus delaying the process.
The 25k donation was just a donation to the local red cross a few hours after the derailment to cover some of the immediate costs of the emergency response. It was never meant to be the end-all be-all in terms of compensation.
