working on the railway is a good example of how capitalism prioritizes profits over safety.
the way alot of the equipment is designed is unsafe. so if your riding one of the cars and holding on, the bar is too low for you to get a good centre of gravity to hold on good.
between cars there isnt a lot of space by design so it leads to not much room for error. if the train suddenly moves, you wont have alot of time to get out. i know one guy lost a toe.
then on top of it, i remember some of the engines had the air brakes on one side where you have to climb over, instead of right in the middle with easier access. if the dopey designers of the train at least consulted with the employees who actually work on the trains, they wouldnt have made this mistake.
and the last big one is being on call. your expected to go even if your tired, even though the regulations say you dont have to. the regulations arent enforced because of regulatory capture.

Railroad work is 24/7/365 on-call for the vast majority of crews. No life, but lots of money. A former co-worker went to the UP and he made 90k his first year, then got furloughed, and came back and was up to 135K within 3 years. His wife dumped him because he was never home.
Great money,no life. Eat/Sleep/Run Trains. An actual bumper sticker on his truck.

Once upon a time there was an engineer
Cukoo Charlie was his name we hear.

It’s true, comrade commissar. Safer to go with the gear, equipment and work safety policies of communist China, North Korea or the Soviet Union years back. The capitalist dogs just don’t care.
how about neither
No gear, equipment or work safety policies at all?
not choose a least worst evil
the US capitalists have already given the hospital workers what you said plus many other industries
It will be fine

The market will decide what gear is necessary. Kill enough people at work and word will get around. It’ll be harder to hire.
Sounds better than nothing changing at all, eh?
thats what he means: nothing will change at all.
Read again. It’s communism nothing changes under.
change is not unique to 1 system
