Passing thought: maybe they're right. Government inaction has made it worse.
But at the same time... If you don't pull the lever, thereby passively allowing the trolley to run over a bunch of people as a result of your inaction, are you really "controlling" the trolley?
I don't know. If your hands are on the levers and it is specifically your job to pull the levers in order to avoid disaster and you stand there staring while the trolley runs the people over, I would argue it's at minimum gross negligence.
