That's awesome. Man, fuck that company. Bricking a train? Outrageous.
Poland ought to ban that company from ever working or operating or selling any products inside of its country and any trains made by that company that are not currently owned by Poland should be prevented from traveling on the tracks that cross through Poland.
This is the kind of government intervention I can get behind. This story is so outrageous, it's hard to believe it's true.
Maybe make it the entire executive and senior management, rather than the company.
unfortunately they have a right wing government so it's likely they'll want more of this not less
They just swore in the new Cabinet today. They still have a far right President and Judiciary to contend with but the legislature is a coalition of centrists and leftists now.
I was wondering why Orban "left the room" when the EU Council voted for initiating membership negotiations with Ukraine (thus abstaining) rather than vote against it (and thus veto it) and thought that maybe he didn't have Poland covering his back anymore (in the sense of stopping later reprisals if he blocked it), at least when it came to his pro-Russia posture.
Now given that change in Poland, I'm thinking it's a much more far reaching thing and Hungary is now much closer to have their rights suspended as an EU Member.
Yes, however there is still a natural resistance to kicking anyone out of a political entity. Just because nobody wants to start those conversations for fear of their name getting floated.
I feel like train operators will have heard of this, and will not be accepting that company's tenders
Realistically, that would be quite an overreaction and the corporation does have valuable knowledge and skill in creating trains. But how great it would be if this were to cause open source code to be a requirement...
Run by fucking criminals. We should brick them like they're The Sticky Bandits
Better to brick them like The Cask of Amontillado.
Great idea, Marv.
