    Clearly. The amount is irrelevant, the incentive to not be regulated to make more profit is the save as any private company but private companies don’t own and control regulatory agencies, the federal government does.

    You didn’t, and haven’t. You’re simply shitty at connect the dots. Apparently perverse incentive to you is a ok.

      Holy fucking shit. The rail companies own the rail. Two federal agencies regulate rail and cargo on rail. The private companies that own the rail have an incentive to keep costs low. They do this by maintaining the rail as cheaply as they can. They also lobby the government to keep regulations relaxed so they don’t have to maintain as much. The government doesn’t care one single bit about the cost to maintain rail, their only incentive is taking the lobby money. Like maybe you should figure out how to connect the dots. And again reading comprehension is not your strong suit.

        Sure, most of the rail aside from the 750 miles we both agree is 100% federally owned. You’re being obtuse.

        Why do you believe a for profit company ran by the government has any less motivation to have limited regulation for the purposes of making a larger profit.

        This isn’t hard you’re just being dumb.

          No, it’s not fucking federally owned. ONLY THE 750 MILES IS FEDERALLY OWNED. Again reading comprehension. I never said amtrack has any less motivation to have limited regulations. You are constantly shoving words down my throat that I never said, somehow coming to conclusions that are not even close to what I am saying. I’m just going to block you so I don’t have to deal with the mental capacity of a brick.

            You again agreed 750 miles are owned by the federal government, where in my last comment did you read anything other than 750 miles.

            No you’re implying it my saying Amtrak’s existence, federal ownership and greed are somehow totally unrelated to each other.

            Go ahead, you’re not making particular sense anyway though you do seem to actually get the point.
