The more I read about Marxism, Communism and Tyranny this doesn’t look like a form of Communism. When was the last cross dressing maniac you’ve seen that was a Communist? I don’t know.
This looks like tyranny. Evil and confusing.
Saying nothing is signaling agreement/consent. These scumbags are intent on destroying America as we know it.
And they are doing a good job 
I hope Israel nukes the whole bunch of them, starting with Iran.
I hope they don’t. The world would have to deal with a Nuclear Fallout. I’m sure they have some ordinance that delivers the same effect with none of the fallout.
I am almost convinced that those scumbags have no idea what they are doing. Inept and incompetent.
IMO-Great God, imagine if 5000 rockets were launched from Mexico into the US and our allies said “Well America just roll with it let’s appeal to our better selfs.” But yeah let’s keep playing politics with our borders.
Same 
happened 50 years ago on October 6, 1973.
The Yom Kipper War.
Coincidence, I say not.
Let them figure it out. We need to take care of our own damn backyard for a change
IMO-We can do both.
I’ve always felt the same but under this administration I really have begun to have my doubts.
Some footage from Hamas…
Source is from a British public broadcast service
If we can’t deal with a small regional conflict and cover the homeland at the same time we are done…
From a civilian perspective…
A video on the Iranian proxy terrorist organization Hamas.
IMO-If I’m “Joe Bob Hamas” from the Gaza Strip and I seen this I would need some tissue to wipe away the tears of laughter.
Modern incendiary weapons.
Not my continent, not my business.
Most trains have hazmat in it. The railroads are trying to run longer and longer trains to do more with less. What they are doing is putting railroad crews and the public in danger because of $$$$. The CEO of CSX I believe his base salary was 2 or 3 million but he got another 17 million in bouses and stock options because of cutting manpower and working the people that they had left to death. Now do you see why so many incidents are happening. Train derailments are nothing new it has been going on for years. Before sometimes the local news may cover a derailment that was it. Then when 1 derailment makes National news now everyone is clamoring around screaming that the sky is falling. The kicker is we have been telling Congress, the FRA, NTSB and the transportation secretary that these 2 and 3 mile long trains are not safe for 4 or 5 years now Nobody wanted to listen. We finally got 3 Congressmen to introduce a rail safety bill in the house that would limit the length of certain trains, stop the railroads from getting rid of the Conductor and leaving the Engineer by himself to do everything. Everybody in Congress could care less about passing the bill so it died in the house. The hazmat cars have more of a tendency to derail because of how long they are and the weight that they are carrying. A train can over a 100 feet of slack in the train because each car has a few inches in between the knuckles that hold the car together. When a train goes over a hill or in a curve and if that slack comes in hard enough the long tank cars are like a long lever and they can easily derail. Another reason is the railroads have done massive cuts not only in with the train crews but with the car inspectors that have to chek each car when the train is built. Every 1000 miles that the train travels it has to be inspected sgsin. Many times the cars don’t get properly inspected. A car that should be left at the terminal were the train is built will get left in the train. Sometimes it doesn’t cause a problem other times it does and you see exactly what can happen then. Another issue is that the track inspectors that inspect the track have been cut back as well as the roadway guys that repair the track. If a track inspector misses a defect in the track or on a trestle then it can cause a derailment. Same thing with the roadway guys.
When I first became an Engineer over 20 years ago a long train was 6,000 to 8000 ft. Any longer than that then cars would be left in terminal because it wasn’t safe to run a train that long. There were rules that limited the length and weight of trains. Then the rules were slowly being changed over time allowing longer and longer trains. The longest train that I remember running was 13700 feet long and it weighed over 23,000 tons. Do you see the difference? The trains are routinely now being run 2 to 3 times longer and 2 to 3 times heavier. The difficulty of running that train magnifies at the same rate as the length and weight of the train increases. Did you notice that the railroad workers were going to strike over some of the issues that I have spoke of. Nobody cared again and Biden took the recommendation of his presidential emergency board and forced a bull$hit contract down our throats and we were put back to work because he didn’t care about rail safety or us. He only cared about us moving freight so it wouldn’t affect the National economy in a country that already a crappy economy because of him. Now it pisses me off to no end to see his sorry ■■■ on the picket line with the striking auto workers wanting to say that he is for the working men and women of this Country. All I want to say is lets go Brandon and I have 3 lowers that say just that thanks to PSA.
Weight and speed is a square function not a linear function IIRC, squared not multiplied.
Just using weight and speed is way oversimplified in in the overall equation. You have buff force, draft force, lateral force, sheer force, the way that the train is built, where the loaded cars and empty cars are located in the train, how many Locomotives you have online and running, how many poweres axles do the online Locomotives have, do you have distributive power Locomotives in the train, where the dp Locomotives are located at in the train, what type of cars do you have directly in front of and behind the dp Locomotives, how many powered axles do the dp Locomotives have, what type of terrain the train operating over, is your train currently going over hills, what parts of your train are moving on a uphill grade and what parts of your train are on a downhill grade, are the Locomotives in power and what throttle postion, are you in dynamic braking and what power are the dynamic brakes in, how long is your train and how heavy is your train. All these factors are looked at and factored into the equation of figuring out what the root csuse of the accident was. Many times there are multiple causes of a train derailment. There are a ton of questions that as an Engineer that you have to answer when something happens. The very first thing that happpens is that no matter what really happened it doesn’t matter because the first thing that happens is that the railroad will always do their best to blame the Engineer for the incident if at all possible. That relieves them of some of the liability and it gives them something to hang the fault on other than themselves.
