The railroad industry has slashed over 20% of its workforce, while spending $225 billion on stock buybacks and dividends since 2010. Wall Street calls this “precision scheduled railroading.” I call it unacceptable corporate greed.

Companies have to make money in order to stay in business! How many businesses have you ran in your life?

Buy backs help the investors who require dividends. If not then there is no investors!

what do you know about running a railroad, if anything this is one of the things socialists are famously the worst at.

And over the same period, the Democrats allocated billions of taxpayer dollars to fix their equipment, further increasing the USA's debt.

share buy backs must be banned executives must not be paid in stock or options or bonuses related to share price if a public company has debt it must not pay dividends

@BrojoDeathpunch Well you can thanks union buster Biden for that, and that’s the facts, Jack.

You backed a president who broke the railroad strike. I have never seen anyone speak with a forked tongue the way you do. Close your mouth Bernie. We are sick of listening to it. You are a liar.

Spoken like a true FASCIST.

@SenSanders - the railroad industry isn't like the Fed. gov't and keeps unnecessary staff on the payroll just b/c they're there. Just think of the tax savings it the Fed. gov't slashed 20% of its workforce... I'd call that "precision tax utilization"

YES WE DO UNDERSTAND CORPORATE GREED BECAUSE WE ARE PAYING FOR IT IN OUR SUPERMARKETS !
