Per this source, a 25 mile radius includes 585,000 people. That means (before lawyer fees so imagine half in actuality), Norfolk-Southern wants to give $1,000 per person for permanently poisoning not only their property but their body which is now forever scarred. This was filed for approval by the Plaintiff (people hurt) but as shown in the story and simple math show this can't be appropriate for a company with billions in revenue. Unfortunately this may also (not sure about insurance's involvement) represent a third of their cash on hand 2023 Annual Report pdf page 58/their k48. I personally believe this is unjust and would love to hear other opinions and/or other information such as the index number for this (I have not diligently searched/PACER looked, but usually at least one news sources mentions a caption or docket number).

Of course it's not enough. The company is still in business and the owners aren't in jail! They still have all their limbs! We've done nothing to fix the problem.

I'm telling you if we eat just one billionaire the rest will fall in line

Which billionaire do you think we would need to eat for that to be the case? What kind of sides?

Honestly none of them seem particularly appetizing. God knows what they've been consuming, so we'll probably need to finish them on apples and corn for about a month to flush out any off flavors. Plus most of them are men so they'll have boar taint if we don't also castrate them before we start limiting their diet.

(I raised pigs and, biologically, pigs are a lot like humans.)

If mythbusters taught me anything, we are just bipedal pigs.

Alton Brown taught me that there's some folks who think barbecue (the cooking method) was invented to cook human meat.

Plus we're already putting pig heart valves into human beings, and growing organs inside them. If we're that compatible it would make sense we taste the same.

We've also been using pigs for insulin for decades

Sorry for doxxing but you're Brick Top, aren't you?

Nah, I think that's Mason Verger.

Corporations are people. People with more rights than you or I.
