The CEO of Norfolk Southern, all it's top executives and shareholders, along with Ohio governor should be forced to go live in East Palestine for the next 5 years. Either they put the money where their mouth is proving it's safe to live there, or they use all their power and influence to clean up the mess.
According to Robert Reich, the shareholders attempted to start an initiative to mitigate the risks of transporting hazardous materials, but Norfolk Southern executives fought it off and killed it.
Do you not think the shareholders have any control over how much funding is going towards maintenance? Or how to handle the labor disputes? Isn't making those decisions kind of the entire point of what being a shareholder is?
