thinking about how there's a true solution to the trolley problem and union workers were the ones to point it out

IWW IU 520 (Railroad Workers) PRESENTS:

TROLLEY PROBLEM SOLUTION

"Slip the switch" by flipping it while the trolley's front wheels have passed through, but before the back wheels do. This will cause a controlled derailment bringing the trolley to a safe halt.

Thank a rail worker today!

@SnoopJ "There is one person on board the trolly" the question giver says, grinning ear-to-ear.

@scottmichaud they might get a bruise, but I'll take it!

Relatedly, in looking this image up again, I saw someone frame the trolley problem as "you are ON a trolley..." which is an impressive level of misunderstanding of both the problem and how switches work
