I doubt it, rail companies have massive fucking pull to the point that it’s unbelievable. Like some have their own railway cops that have all the authority of a regular police force. It’s insane what they get away with compared to other industries.

Just look at the landscape of Merritt Island. You can see how someone shaped the land to make runways for space craft!

Probably because beavers are an invasive species and can destroy as much habitat as they create wetlands. They don’t stop expanding and can destroy fuck tons of forest and land with their purposeful flooding if left un checked.

As well as laws that count prison populations as county/district populations. A lot of times they are used to steal tax dollars by fake inflating local populations as well as using it to gerrymander the fuck out of places.

That was a tiny rail company compared to Norfolk Southern. Hell Canadian companies are just as bad with CN and CP both having their own police forces and covering shit up.

Not to mention Norfolk also has its own police force.
