Explainer for non-Texans: The Texas Railroad Commission has almost nothing to do with railroads. It's oil and gas.

Stereotypical Jewish domination of the…Texas…railroads

bad news about the railroad commissioner's authority to commission railroads

Isn't TX the state where the railroad commission is massively powerful, mostly over things with no connection to railroads?

Keeping the fascists away from the railroads is a good thing.
This is actually blowing my mind.

because of the way that railroads are taxed in illinois i think letting the railroads expand their yards actually results in a massive loss of tax revenue for chicago

Oddly enough, it has nothing to do with railroads. It regulates oil.

Not one, but TWO railroads.

IT'S IMPORTANT

"Despite its name, the Railroad Commission regulates the Texas oil and gas industry, not railroads. Railroad Commissioners manage drilling, natural gas facilities, pipelines, hydrogen storage and carbon dioxide injection and storage."

Or build more railroads and trains.

The black imagination conducts its escape by way of underground railroads of meaning—a practice we could call the black art of escape.

No buses or either commuter railroads in that tally either. The MTA is the single biggest mover of people in North America and it’s not close.

A new poll shows significant support for nationalization of health care, railroads, and artificial intelligence among Democratic voters.

Public ownership can be part of a winning pitch for addressing the cost-of-living crisis.

This is oil and gas regulation and has nothing to do with railroads. This is huge.

the beautiful symbolism between the usage of railroads throughout cold steel and the constant fanart of rean getting railed by crow, that’s a yaoi game at heart

Where do you live that has nationalized railroads? Must be nice.

But also I was thinking more about 19th-century American railroads run by the so-called "robber barons".

We’re gonna commission so many railroads

The Progressive Era reforms to railroads were terrible long term

Imagine what would happen if the commuter railroads gave a free transfer to the subway!
The introduction of the MetroCard Gold—and its free transfers from bus to Subways—resulted in a major ridership boost across transit in New York City www.schallerconsult.com/pub/metrocrd...
#MetroCardMonday: This 1997 #NYTMCollection television ad, narrated by Mandy Patinkin, introduced MetroCard Gold.

Although the MetroCard had been available since 1994, the new MetroCard Gold came with a major innovation: 😱 free transfers between buses and subways.

This is big deal in Texas.

Though I do want to mention that the Texas Railroad Commissioner has absolutely nothing to do with railroads in Texas.
