Ah, if only the DR and DDR were still around to run it, eh? Perhaps a

Well, Herr Schnell is like you: those goddam workers had a too good
life in GDR times are are not yet beaten enough into submission to the
new capitalist times.

The thing is that railway workers are workers, and not so easily
purged as all the professors at the university and journalists in the
media. People like you and Herr Schnell think that the workers would
simply bow and when they are shown the capitalist whip. It is not so
easy for you misantropists.
