People have not forgot, the executives and politicians don't care. I donate to your reelection and you adjust the law so I can make billions. Then after the disaster you tell the victims that the law allows them to sue for the value of a used empty gift card or chewed bubble gum, whichever is worth less.

Yep, and there are many more incidents along similar lines. For instance: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_Union_Pacific_oil_train_f...

This move is about putting the bottom line above safety.
