The big railroads are laser focused on short term profits these days

every company is laser focused on short term profits, none of the executives care about long term sustainability because they get obscenely large severence packages when they get fired or if the company goes bankrupt from their stupidity

not caring about the big picture or what might happen in the future is why everything sucks
