  Poland ought to ban that company from ever working or operating or selling any products inside of its country and any trains made by that company that are not currently owned by Poland should be prevented from traveling on the tracks that cross through Poland.

    This is the kind of government intervention I can get behind. This story is so outrageous, it’s hard to believe it’s true.

    unfortunately they have a right wing government so it’s likely they’ll want more of this not less

      They just swore in the new Cabinet today. They still have a far right President and Judiciary to contend with but the legislature is a coalition of centrists and leftists now.

        I was wondering why Orban “left the room” when the EU Council voted for initiating membership negotiations with Ukraine rather than vote against it (and thus veto it) and thought that maybe he didn’t have Poland covering his back anymore (in the sense of stopping later reprisals), at least when it came to his pro-Russia posture.

        Now given that change in Poland, I’m thinking Hungary is one step closer to have their rights suspended as an EU Member.

    Maybe make it the entire executive and senior management, rather than the company.

    I feel like train operators will have heard of this, and will not be accepting that company’s tenders

    Realistically, that would be quite an overreaction and the corporation does have valuable knowledge and skill in creating trains. But how great it would be if this were to cause open source code to be a requirement…

  Run by fucking criminals. We should brick them like they’re The Sticky Bandits

    Better to brick them like The Cask of Amontillado.
