    The chemical spills are because of lack of regulation. Agreed?

    That lack of regulation is because of for profit companies going as cheap as possible to make more money. Agreed?

    The federal government owns a for profit passenger line that is comparatively large to other private passenger lines in the us. Agreed?

    The federal government has a hand in regulating the same rails it has a stake in. Agreed?

    So how exactly are these things not relevant in relation to chemical spills due to lack of regulation… Like what?

      Sorry, “the government runs some passenger lines so it’s the government’s fault that private companies on privately owned rail regularly create environmental disasters” doesn’t check out.
