Rail strike response casualties? Can you flesh that out a bit?

Everything that has and will happen due to poor working conditions after he broke the rail strike in 2022. The cause celebre was the East Palestine derailment, but conditions are still unconscionable, and it's hard to conceive of a situation where rail laborers are overworked and under-supported doesn't result in more, and worse, incidents like that one. And then, of course, there are the knock-on environmental and economic effects.

It's not the only objectionable thing Biden's administration is solely responsible for, just the one that came to mind.
