Very sad what happened there, I know several people with the railroad there. I did not know about Ben Sasse. He's up this year, his days might be numbered when this gets out.
Actually the problem goes even deeper. The employees I've talked with have said Cabelas was an amazing place to work when the family owned it. When they went public, it was a gradual slide downhill. We see the same thing in other industries. Shareholder profits above all else. Infrastructure is expected to maintained on a shoestring budget while employees are held accountable if it fails and profits are measured in billions per quarter and union contracts get weaker at every round of bargaining.
