It’s also worth typing “East Palestine, Ohio” into your browser this morning.

If only someone would pass a law requiring trains to have ECP brakes while carrying hazardous materials.

If, and that is a big if, such a law would be beneficial to stop something like this, the Biden administration has had two years to propose such a law or regulation. For two years he had a completely friendly congress available to pass it. At some point, even Biden and his administration have to take responsibility for something.

I won’t argue with that. A law was made by one administration, rescinded by the next, and not corrected by the current.

And who is fighting that legislation? I’ll give you a hint. It starts with railroad and ends with companies.

Who lobbied to get that rescinded? The same people who can now, if they chose to, equip their trains with the needed equipment. But they won’t. There is no law saying they aren’t allowed to add ECP braking systems, they just won’t do it until forced to because it costs them money.

What a brain dead moron. How about he makes a quota that for every neighborhood project X number of people has to be hired from that neighborhood.

What is that going to look like? Plumber assistant? Skills and experience are required. Same with all other trades. With no skills or experience it would just raise the price to complete the project to hire X number of unskilled workers.

Anyone in that neighborhood that does have skill and experience is already working for someone.

We really need people in government with successful private industry experience for the position they are holding.

Who wants to bet several years from now East Palestine in Ohio will be a cancer cluster but all we will hear is that it has nothing to do with the derailment and subsequent dispersal of liquid PVC.

No one will ever be held accountable but the residents will suffer.

Norfolk Southern train derails in southeast Michigan; investigation ongoing

Emergency crews were on the scene in Van Buren Township, where about 30 Norfolk Southern Railway train cars went off the tracks Thursday morning.

Looks like another derailment. Whats petey booty judge saying about this?
According to the following article, booty judge does what every little lib does and blames trump. I am sure he has pulled his trumpy bear out and is hitting it as well.

Pete Buttigieg faces call to resign after East Palestine disaster: 'Serious...

Florida Sen. Marco Rubio is calling for the resignation of Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg because of his handling of the East Palestine, Ohio, train derailment.

Just want to point out, we average 1700 train derailments a year in the US. That’s not good of course but I think we are seeing some selective reporting at this point.

Incorrect.

Sec of Transportation Pete Buttikieg is already in DC blaming Trump for the Ohio train derailment.

someone will be held accountable and that someone is Donald Trump!

'Complete embarrassment:' Buttigieg blasted for touting 'rail safety,'...

Department of Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg is being slammed on Twitter for punting the blame for the East Palestine train derailment to the previous administration.

PS Why is he blaming Trump from DC? It would make more sense the Sec of Transportation fly to Ohio and blame Trump from there.

But “Pothole Pete” checked off the right boxes that satisfies the “diversity” quota. What could go wrong?

I agree he handled it atrociously. When a disaster happens blaming previous admins is just lazy and stupid.
