Können wir uns darauf einigen alles von Dr Ding Ding erst einmal sehr kritisch zu evaluieren. Nach COVID braucht der neue Themen, um aufzufallen.

Anscheinend hat die Firma auch durch Lobbyismus verhindert, dass ein besseres Bremssystem für die Züge eingeführt wird und sogar dass der Zug mit dem Material als Gefahrgut klassifiziert wird...

https://www.levernews.com/rail-companies-blocked-safety-rules-before-ohio-derailment/


Before this weekend’s fiery Norfolk Southern train derailment prompted emergency evacuations in Ohio, the company helped kill a federal safety rule aimed at upgrading the rail industry’s Civil War-era braking systems, according to documents reviewed by The Lever.

Though the company’s 150-car train in Ohio reportedly burst into 100-foot flames upon derailing — and was transporting materials that triggered a fireball when they were released and incinerated — it was not being regulated as a “high-hazard flammable train,” federal officials told The Lever.

Documents show that when current transportation safety rules were first created, a federal agency sided with industry lobbyists and limited regulations governing the transport of hazardous compounds. The decision effectively exempted many trains hauling dangerous materials — including the one in Ohio — from the “high-hazard” classification and its more stringent safety requirements.

In response, the Obama administration in 2014 proposed improving safety regulations for trains carrying petroleum and other hazardous materials. However, after industry pressure, the final measure ended up narrowly focused on the transport of crude oil and exempting trains carrying many other combustible materials, including the chemical involved in this weekend’s disaster.

Then came 2017: After rail industry donors delivered more than $6 million to GOP campaigns, the Trump administration — backed by rail lobbyists and Senate Republicans — rescinded part of that rule aimed at making better braking systems widespread on the nation’s rails.

Specifically, regulators killed provisions requiring rail cars carrying hazardous flammable materials to be equipped with electronic braking systems to stop trains more quickly than conventional air brakes. Norfolk Southern had previously touted the new technology — known as Electronically Controlled Pneumatic (ECP) brakes — for its “potential to reduce train stopping distances by as much as 60 percent over conventional air brake systems.”

The vast majority of the nation’s trains continue to rely on a braking system first developed in 1868. Trains equipped with these traditional air brakes make emergency stops more slowly and with higher rates of damage than trains equipped with ECP brakes, according to both safety advocates and the Federal Railroad Administration.

also diese ganze Flugobjekte-abknallen-Geschichte ist für mich maximal fishy. unbekannte Ballons etc. werden doch schon seit ein paar Jahren abgeschossen bzw. sind schon seit Trump Tagen auf dem Radar, auf einmal aber wird das gezielt in den Nachrichten platziert. wer weiß, was da wieder gespielt wird.

"Legislators in Iowa and Minnesota introduced bills in January to loosen child labor law regulations around age and workplace safety protections in some of the country’s most dangerous workplaces. Minnesota’s bill would permit 16- and 17-year-olds to work construction jobs. The Iowa measure would allow 14- and 15-year-olds to work certain jobs in meatpacking plants.

The Iowa bill, introduced by state Sen. Jason Schultz (R), would permit children as young as 14 to work in industrial freezers and meat coolers, provided they are separate from where meat is prepared, and work in industrial laundry.

At 15, they would be able to work as lifeguards and swimming instructors, perform light assembly-line work after obtaining a waiver from state officials, and load and unload up to 50 pounds of products from vehicles and store shelves with a waiver “depending on the strength and ability of the fifteen-year-old.”"
 
naja, teilweise ist das ja legitim (lifeguard/swimming instructors, store shelves, light assembly-line work) - das sind ja harmlose und übliche jobs für jugendliche würde ich sagen.

rest sehr fragwürdig
 
Im Zusammenhang mit einer Klage des Wahlmaschinen Herstellers Dominion gegen Fox News über den Vorwurf der Rufschädigung & Diffamierung und einer Forderung von 1.6 Milliarden Dollar an Schadensersatz sind anscheinend interne Kommunikationen von Fox als Beweismaterial im Spiel, die klar zeigen sollen dass man bei Fox News ganz genau wusste, dass die "they stole the election" Geschichte zusammengereimt war, aber es halt entgegen der eigenen Meinung trotzdem so verkauft hat.

Laura Ingram, Sean Hannity und sogar Rupert Murdoch selbst sind da vorzufinden heißt es, die Dokumente sind aber bislang nicht öffentlich zugänglich. Fox bestreit die Anschuldigungen.


https://www.reuters.com/legal/domin...-rigging-claims-it-broadcast-were-2023-02-16/
Dominion's filing is replete with references to emails and statements in which Fox Corp (FOXA.O) Chairman Rupert Murdoch and other top Fox executives say the claims made about Dominion on-air were false.

The filing reflects the outcome of months of discovery from both sides. Dominion in January questioned Murdoch under oath, the most high-profile figure to face questioning in the case.

Dominion must prove that the network either knew the statements it aired were false or recklessly disregarded their accuracy.

Dominion said in its brief that Murdoch internally described the election claims as "really crazy" and "damaging" but declined to wield his editorial power to stop them.

For example, according to Dominion's filing, when Murdoch watched Trump lawyers Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell make unfounded claims about Dominion about two weeks after the election, he told Fox News Chief Executive Suzanne Scott: "Terrible stuff damaging everybody, I fear."

Other top Fox executives including Scott repeatedly raised the alarm over false election fraud claims but failed to act because they feared losing viewers to far-right competitor Newsmax, Dominion said.

The underlying exhibits for many of those statements remain under seal. Fox has said Dominion took them out of context.

Overall, the messages show that the prominent Fox News personalities felt the entire narrative was wrong, but that they had to thread the needle to not destroy Fox News’ stock price or upset Trump and his fans that made up such a huge part of the Fox News audience.
