Libraries in Texas cannot allow children and teenagers under 15 years old to enter without someone older. And they threaten to call the thugs.

Norfolk Southern's system to detect bearings in the process of failing was set to too high a threshold, so it didn't warn the crew of the train until it was about to derail.

One could suggest that the government require railroads to generate these warnings at a lower threshold, but the company has a response for that: the other major US railroads are even worse.

The UK's cancellation of citizenship as a punishment for crimes is an injustice. Doing it without even a trial to determine guilt for those crimes is flat-out contempt for justice.
