and other costs to bolster profits in recent years, and have been fiercely opposed to adding paid sick time that would require them to hire more staff.
...
Teamsters President Sean O'Brien harshly criticized the Senate vote on sick leave. "Rail carriers make record profits. Rail workers get zero paid sick days. Is this OK? Paid sick leave is a basic human right. This system is failing," O'Brien wrote on Twitter.

Regarding all those rail accidents, don't be surprised of sabotage by disgruntled union workers.

Agent Ma has been exposed and urgently needed a diversion.

You mean extraction by PLAAF Special Ops team flying in from Mexico using Y-9 or Y-20 specially modified with rockets for STOL operations.

There are two wide stretch of expressways in front of Ma Yilong's HQ in Austin, Texas. Shouldn't be difficult to land and takeoff a retrofitted Y-9 or Y-20 on it.

@siegecrossbow We need your help to ensure Comrade Ma's mission success on the ground.

The Swiss upon realising that without banking, they have nothing to offer the world that Austria and any other European country can’t offer:

let’s see,
european chocolate - Norwegian chocolate is better
mountains - Austria and north Italy has better skiing
frauleins - deutschland has better
snooty attitude- I can go to Paris for that

what the hell else can Switzerland offer besides cheese with holes in it?

Neutrality like virginity is one those things that you can’t ever get back once you lose it, this isn’t Mean Girls where Regina George can claim to be a quarter virgin. Once Swiss neutrality is compromised, it may as well join the EU and be as pathetic as say Slovakia.

meanwhile in the land of checks and balances and free markets, the cycle of enrons seems to be a fixture of American capitalism

Yea Switzerland's reputation for neutrality's gone. Its not impossible that they'll get it back but not anytime soon. Its like shooting yourself in the head. Sure, you can try again, try and reverse the damage. Usually the first step for that is to be born again. (And I don't mean in the religious sense)

The East Coast Rail Link (ECRL) project is a major railway project connecting East and Western coast of the Malaysian Peninsula. It had started construction in 2017, but was suspended in 2018 by the then Sinophobic PM, Mahathir. Since then, it had restarted quietly in Oct 2022.

The ECRL was never represented objectively in much of the Malaysian media. The NED-infested alternative media in Malaysia called it debt trap (where have we heard of that before). Most Malaysians didn't get to see the actual work that was going on, and the details of actual deal that was made with Chinese companies. There was serious local participation in the project from day 1. It was never the "China take-all deal" myth that was spread by the NED media and Sinophobes. The Chinese companies did the more technically demanding work, and the financing. While the Malaysian companies did the rest.

This new government in Malaysia is not perfect. There are pockets of NED-aligned clowns in it. But there are still adults in the more senior ministry who can see things more objectively. Infrastructure is always important, without it, it is difficult to grow. Right now, based on merit, China is the best partner for major infrastructure projects. Malaysia had tried to pivot back to Japan again under Mahathir in 2018, but nothing happened after that. There are no true rivals to the BRI, period. Nobody else is gonna be even a fraction as generous, or as flexible as China. Only the Sinophobic idiots would turn away from China and beg the West for crumbs that never comes.

ECRL, the Malaysian rail to offer an alternative to goods transiting the Malacca Strait, has gotten some more news from the recent Anwar visit.

during a meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping and his counterpart Li Qiang, both sides agreed to boost trade relations and economic cooperation under the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), including expediting the East Coast Rail Link (ECRL) project.

Loke said that Malaysia's transport industry, including important projects such as the ECRL and MRT 2, has renewed its vitality thanks to the participation of Chinese enterprises. As of February this year, 40% of the project’s overall construction has been done and is expected to be completed in 2027.

Turns out PLAN vessel actually radioed ROCCGA vessel during the exercise to tell them to cooperate for photo, on more than one occasion too.

PLAN "Hey stop all that dodging with your little boat and sail straight, we need to shoot a video for CCTV"
ROCCGA "Yes sir right away sir"

Behind every Chinese success story theres an American dude that got his idea stolen, strikes again...
