It was, rail track was a private company. They had to roll that one back because trains kept crashing.


But is the most economically efficient number of deaths on trains really zero?

If a million people get to work a few minutes faster every day for 40 years, is that worth one life?

No, but I have actually heard this argument before and regard it as unhinged.


Fight club.


Just overcommitting the tracks to maximize profit :)
