  1. Selfish People Can’t Produce Unselfish Solutions

    In Europe and elsewhere, governments are paying colossal sums to big corporations to help them avert bankruptcy. Whether they call it a “rescue package” or “quantitative easing,” in the end it’s all the same: the government pays companies to stay operative.
    I don’t think it will work in the long run. It may keep companies afloat for another six months or a year, but as a rule, a government, any government, cannot sustain companies that cannot sustain themselves. In the end, the situation will blow up in a blast that will be worse than what it would have happened had the government let them fall naturally.
    There is more to it than that. I don’t believe that a government can do anything good for its people. Civil servants, ministers, and deputy ministers always pull their own way and have their own interests in mind. Since everyone is inherently selfish, everyone has an ulterior motive that is not for the benefit of the public.
    We cannot expect selfish people to do unselfish acts; it is like asking a tiger to become vegetarian. If it goes against nature and it won’t work. Therefore, asking people whose only focus is their own career to focus on other people’s well-being is unwise, unrealistic, and will invariably fail.
    Socialists, capitalists, far right, or far left, they are all immersed in egoism. It is not their fault; it is human nature, and we should adjust our expectation from our leaders.
    If we want a real and lasting positive change, we must transform human nature. Since our nature is selfish to the core, changing it is the only way out of the crises that the world is falling into nowadays. We will fall deeper and deeper until we realize that the problem is not the fuel we burn, the forests we cut, the water we pollute, or the people we kill. The problem is the cause of all those harms we are inflicting on nature and on each other: our inherent self-absorption. When we start working on changing ourselves rather than demanding everything and everyone else to change, we might be able to save ourselves before it is too late.

  2. 1st off the news does NOT state there are 2 sets of crossovers east of Joplin. In order for a train to wind up on 2 parallel tracks, a train car's wheelset had to jump the switch to cause the derailment. 2nd of all the accident is still under investigation. They said it happened on a straightway. A Google map satellire view shows an S curve on each side of Joplin. The east sude of Joplin has an S curve before the two crossovers. The two crossovers are pretty close to each other.

    I'm a railroad fan and been studying trains since i was 10 years old. I'm 39 now. I can say that this accident happened due to a faulty wheelset on one of the cars or sabotage. Amtrak has been victim of several acts of sabotage in the past.

    The lady suing Amtrak is jumping the gun. Even if more people file suit, the fault will take months to figure out. Here is something else not mentioned and people NEED to know:

    Despite cosmetic face-lifts, Amtrak's Superliners are more than 30 years old. They are based off the double-decked cars of Santa Fe's El Capitan.

    Biden wants to pour more money into Amtrak to upgrade its equipment. Even Amtrak's AMD103 Genesis engines are from the 90s. Amtrak has been victimized by previous presidents who kept taking money away from Amtrak funding. That has led to outdated equipment.

    Amtrak needs new equipment. Bottom line.

  3. US ANTIQUE INFRASTRUCTURE.

    1964 Japan's first bullet trains, The Beatles first record album. Is 57 years long enough for Manchin?

    1998 China has 37,900km of high speed track with 32,000km more under construction.

    2021 US trains travel at 135mph, China's travel at 600mph. US has 301km track with 2,000km under construction.

  4. it would not only matter how fast it was going but the weight of the load AND its positioning that could have contributed to the accident but i highly doubt the truth will ever be known. Gravity is gravity.
