Just remember, this is the EPA that did this, deliberately. The "experts" on environmental disasters created an environmental disaster because it was supposedly the best way to deal with derailed tank cars full of nasty chemicals...
But, it's okay... 71% of the people in that county in Ohio voted for Trump...
This train derailment could impact millions of people and the MSM isn't even covering it.

And of course, the usual financial responsibility between the feds and corporations dance as for years later when birth defects and certain types of cancers start spiking in the exposed areas.
And the band played on.
It wasn't the rail company that decided on this fiasco of a disaster, but the EPA and other government minions of ignorance. Yes, the train derailed, and that is equal parts the corporation and Biden's administration changing safety regulations for trains that the corporation had to comply with.
Biden administration spent 2021 placing regulatory burdens on the transportation sector

Of course you've never heard of vinyl chloride, so where would you get your PVC catsuit otherwise?

Your 2nd link factually contradicts your 1st sentence. Then there's this:

Now as far as I'm concerned, Buttigeig & Biden are no fire brands in this department, but FACTS are FACTS....it's called the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
My previous post stands valid.

Because it highlights the gross incompetence and criminal negligence of Norfolk/Southern (who lobbied for years to get out of inspections for emergency brakes and the emergency brakes failed), the EPA who authorized the "controlled release", and the DOT and Pete Buttegieg.
Weird how all of this is happening now isn't it?
Not really. Politicians have been raising taxes for infrastructure bills since the 1980s at least - and spent it on other things like foreign aid, payoffs, and bribes, every time. I know because I've watched this exact problem for decades.
This is likely gonna kill more people than 9/11. This administration is a disaster - the withdrawal from Afghanistan, the war in Ukraine (the fault of the democrats, lock stock and barrel), the balloons, this train derailment.
It's all pointing straight at this administrations gross and willful criminal and treasonous incompetence.

My point is, and was, which you missed, is that this accident could still have happened. What turned it into a disaster wasn't the accident, but the government response as to how to handle it and mitigate the damage. Turning the site into a giant chemical burn pit was a really stupid and shitty idea.
Your "point" is the one in your hood, TD. Your "might have, could have, maybe, could have, should have" BS is IRRELEVANT! The FACTS, as I laid out, are a matter of history....a history that disproves your contentions.
The major villains here are rail company management, GOP complicity and Dem lame do nothing-ness....as I previously stated. GTFU and deal with reality.
The rail company is responsible for the derailment. The government is responsible for the disaster that followed.

Goody for you. I'm ever so excited for you! Thanks for sharing your personal itinerary with someone who really finds you quite boring. lol
I have read that Westerners must if they want to be successful in Japan.
When you get back I would be one who would be interested in you starting a thread on your impressions.
I said no such thing, you simpleton. Once you learn to READ CAREFULLY AND COMPREHENSIVELY (20 years and you STILL haven't learned that lesson), you would note that I've stated that I put folk on ignore once they've demonstrated complete right wing wonk idiocy or retarded racist rhetoric (aka trolls)...then I ANNOUNCE what I'm doing.
You're such a nudge, you once linked a decades old post to try and prove me wrong on a point. So it should be no problem for you to provide the link to the post SINCE THE NEW YEAR that states in no uncertain terms that I put you on the ignore list.
If you can't, that makes you a piss poor, childish liar. Carry on.
I seem to recall that recently you were sharing your dream to go to Japan before you snuff it.
You apparently were dreaming of someone else. I have never stated that. You can't even tell the women you fear and hate apart anymore.
Pro tip: Keeping the objects of your obsessions straight is important to keep what little credibility you still have left.![]()
Well I guess you'd know better than just anybody about obsessive behaviour. Don't fear or hate you, just think you're incredibly weird and have turned holding grudges into an art form. Anyway back to ignore, sayanora.
