4.4b net income means they could pay out $169,000 per employee assuming about 26,000 employees. For fucks sake capitalism is messed up.

Eh, it doesn’t really have to do with Delaware either, that’s mainly for legal reasons anyways

Wtf. I keep hearing the whole point of capitalism “but they take risks when they invest, we can’t take away their profits. How will they innovate???”

Mean while they get tax breaks on this “risk”

Privatize profits, socialize the losses, bs is what it is

So basic bar charts are data is beautiful material now? My second grade niece could throw this together on excel

Yeah here in the ol’ US of A, it’s Delaware, not Ireland

I’d like to see the value of the NFL over that time period too.

Super Bowl ratings too

Wish I got paid tax back if I earned 4 billion

You own a bank? Lucky you.

100% agree, the initial purpose to start with derailments as a raw number (never recommended) is to get ahead of the assumption that derailments are not common accidents, when in fact they occur the most often type of accident with a varying degree of outcome. The News headlines of a new derailments shouldn’t be shocking news, sad and terrible news yes, but not with out context, which I would like to have others question. I’m curious if this is consistent across all companies, or related to cars on line (available inventory) vs railcar loadings (active) ( which breaks down “originated” (schedule began) and number “received” (schedule terminated) by commodity type.

Not enough moisture in this region, too dry !

No, tax payers pay Nvidia.

Product and demand = capitalism

Can someone explain the difference between cost of revenue vs operating expenses?

> If there are less derailments but more severe damage

I mean those are two completely different things.

It's not like they're specifically derailing dangerous trains. The derailments are random. If trains are carrying more dangerous cargo, then sure, I'd assume there would be some sort of correlation. But you can't really say "hey these random events are getting more hazardous."

The derailments are getting LESS frequent, and that's a good thing.

What you SHOULD do, is see how much is being shipped by train every year. If it's going down, then the fewer derailments make sense and don't mean that things are more safe. If they're going up (which I suspect) they these data show that it's getting significantly safer.

They don't shut down the whole Internet but censor it severely

Would love to see television audience numbers on the graph too.

Japan is literally one of the very worst economies on earth.

Crippling debt and 2 times as many people dieing each year then are being born.

I think it's the only economy in the world that's smaller than it was 1994.

PRE-TAX: $4.2 billion…. NET after taxes: $4.4 billion

Am I reading that "tax" right?

US started killing their industry

let's just say there's isn't gonna be a "next"

Thats 152,000 per employee

Not necessarily, just less derailments. We would need to compare other variables, which i’m in the process of trying to see what variables are available. Frequency, severity, and offender might be more interesting. If there are less derailments but more severe damage or more hazardous but less derailments then it could be misleading. I wanted to see what kind of questions people would ask to help guide the next stages of investigation. It’s never a simple answer, trying to let the data tell the story without introducing bias.
