That is the only reason these thieves are looking to buy other railroads.

I wonder if there is anyone with actual understanding high enough in the company that understands that the after effects of PSR cant be ignored forever. A merger might be a big enough distraction that money could be reallocated to rejuvenate things that PSR has ruined by being so understaffed and therefore neglected. Theres no way some new ceo is just gonna be allowed to triple maintenance and replacement costs with offering nothing in the short turn to shareholders. If a merger doesnt go thru then the stock will continue to fall and this company will begin to resemble how sears kept slowly deteriorating (business wise) Slowly things will just keep getting worse bcuz no ceo is going to sacrifice the shareholders just in the short term in order of saving the company in the long term. Managers will begin doing stupid things like trying to get people to work in offices w/ the lights off. Keep turning the thermostat temp up to “lower costs” and “increase efficiency”. Unless Trumpy and congress sc--w the taxpayers by just giving them money in the name of infrastructure but in reality just practicing socialism for a corporations costs but privatized profits. Which is by far the most egregiously unjust form of economics. I dont care if the UP stock is valued at 0.01 cent. All Companies should take their income and maintain themselves properly before any profits are counted and dispersed to anyone. All the money UP shareholders diverted away from properly maintaining the company for so many years is the cost of what lays ahead.
