[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by bobwilcox [quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by futuremodal [ It is sufficiently profitable to those who deal with real competition each day. [/quote] Before you continue with another rant about the evil BNSF how about letting us know exactly what real business competition you personally have ever dealt with. I think the answer is you never have but I look forward to knowing more about your business experience. [/quote] 1. I do not believe, nor have I ever said, that BNSF or any other railroad is evil. I have stated (and no one has really attempted to refute) that current railroad management/oversight is less than an optimal example of what competent business management should be, and I have good evidence that this is due to railroad management operating in a mostly monopolistic environment. This in turn came about due to the failed policies such as Staggers that allowed the over-mergers and massive ROW retrenchment, with no checks and balances to assure shippers had access to competitive rail services should the current providers fail to serve. 2. As far as my own private business experience, in my younger days I had amply successful experience in the retail and petroleum distibution sectors. Bob, you're obviously a poor judge of human character. 3. I'll say it again, it's only a "rant" to those who either cannot or will not comprehend what is being put forth for debate. Instead of using the easy way out by using the "r" word, why not provide some counter arguments? I promise I will not use the "r" word for your retorts.
