May be, just may be, the possibility of this type of crap is steadily increasing because gubbermint bureaucrats and employees in large companies are now hired according to their genetics and sexual preferences, and not their qualifications.

Diversity hires are RARELY placed in positions of importance.

The reason this shit is happening is mostly because the United States hasn't spent money on infrastructure in 50 years, but spends trillions of dollars on war even if they have to fucking make up the war. Oh wait, opposing war in "unAmerican" and "makes me a coward".

Slava Ukraini!

There's complete regulatory capture. Nobody will go to jail for this, they might be fined possibly. The Sackler Family PURPOSELY addicted as many Americans as they could to opiates to increase profits. They aren't in jail.

I wonder if Sam Bankman Fried will go to jail. Hmmmmm.

When Chernobyl happened, at the least the USSR did something. Has anybody heard shit from the Butt Egg Egg, the Transportation Guy in charge of interstate Railroad Safety?

Are you questioning his qualifications? He's GAY GAY GAY.

That is the most important possible qualification for a position of great responsibility (aside perhaps from being black and/or female as well, like Karine Jean-Pierre).

If people die due to his incompetence, well, the important thing is that we had a GAY GAY GAY Secretary of Transportation. Nothing else could possibly be as important as that.

(Actual Democrat policy)

My wife would be a better transportation director or whatever his title is. He had no business getting the role and he's shown his "ass" so to speak so far. Unfortunately I think he likes it. She gets paid more than he does, so that's a plus.

Sure, government spending on whatever will make that whatever much better. There will be little if any graft, no preferred Eskimo lesbian contractors, no kickbacks to Bidet Junior owned companies, etc. And of course engineers who design stuff are most definitely not hired according to their gender and color of skin.

WE NEED ANOTHER INFRASTRUCTURE BILL! AND EDUCATION BILL!!! THIS WILL PREVENT THE NEXT CATASTROPHE!!!

Mmmm, the USSR denied it initially, but at least they evacuated Pripyat by lying to the population. They left everything behind, including their pets because it was just for a day or two, no big deal is what they were told. I wonder how many pets died by being shut into an apartment, dying of thirst? That has to be one of the worst deaths possible.

The USSR did some pretty horrific things. We have worse propaganda than they did, but our government isn't the killer of its population that the USSR was.

While the Secretary of Transportation Pete B. talked today about racist infrastructure projects, the train derailment in Ohio is creating an environmental disaster. That site needs to be identifed by the EPA as a superfund site.

Reporter Evan Lambert ARRESTED for Trying to Cover Planned Toxic Chemical Release in Ohio [VIDEO]

Another blatant, illegal, assault upon the 1st. Amendment perpetrated by the American Gestapo.

Pete Buttigieg And Chernobyl in Ohio by Sam Faddis

I guess if you are going to be the worst President in American history you want a Transportation Secretary that is equally bad. Pete Buttigieg, the man who ran for President on a solid record of mediocrity and being gay, certainly fits that bill. Ask the people of East Palestine, Ohio.

Last Friday a train derailed in East Palestine, a small town near the Ohio-Pennsylvania border. Fifty cars went off the tracks. Ten of those carried various types of hazardous chemicals. Five of those cars were carrying liquid vinyl chloride. That comes out to 1,000,000 pounds of this dangerous toxic substance.

Where is Buttigieg, our Secretary of Transportation? Busy with other matters. In public announcements and comments recently, he has talked about the dangers posed by an excess of white people working in construction. He has also had time to talk about a book called “Song of Achilles” a gay rewrite of the Iliad. He hasn’t said a word about East Palestine, Ohio.

The area surrounding the burn is already feeling the impact of the release of the immense amount of acid in question. Fish are dying. Farm animals are dying. Contamination of the Ohio River has now been reported as far as West Virginia. The Ohio River feeds into the Mississippi.

"My video camera footage shows my chickens were perfectly fine before they started this burn, and as soon as they started the burn, my chickens slowed down and they died, said Amanda Breshears of North Lima. "If it can do this to chickens in one night, imagine what it is going to do to us in 20 years."

Basically, parts of Ohio will now be as healthy as some superfund sites....

Two More Trains Derail Across US After Ohio Catastrophe

I am saying it is a huge deal, worse than any other chemical spill in last 30 or so years that I am aware of. It will be living on land contaminated by dioxins which are really persistent and difficult to clean up. Oil is eaten up by bacteria so it does not persist and it is not that toxic. A lot of other stuff decomposes by time. This crap made when vinyl chloride burns does not. All I can wish to people in affected areas is to run away as fast as possible.

Bd6r says

I just wanted to point out this is true. When I was a little kid 45 years ago, I remember when it was claimed that plastic cups would not decompose for 1,000 years or so. I remember feeling bad about that, thinking the world would fill up with garbage.

It was bullshit. A plastic bottle left outside in 1980 might still exist as a bottle cap, and a few flecks of plastic, the rest has been completely decomposed.

All those styrofoam containers for Big Macs, they may exist in landfills, but if they were dumped as littler along a highway, the are entirely returned to the environment, their atoms in the soil or in living animals and plants. Still, probably better we moved to paper/cardboard.

I grew up in an area that was so desperately remote, I have run across PERSONAL dumps, where, 50 years prior, my grandparent's parents, discarded old buckets, machines, etc. You can still see them, sort of of. Parts of very rusted bicycles exist, I found a car door recently with the window intact, part of a bucket. Landfills preserve garbage, but much smaller dumping grounds do not. When I was a kid, there was a sort of local famous site where a car crash had happened, where the car was left behind to rust and rot. That car is entirely gone today, 40 years later. I don't think I could even find the location today where it used to be.

Nature is the great recycler.

This is a catastrophe of monumental proportions ...

Where's that funny little guy that looks like Alfred E. Newman?

Health Concerns Grow as More Toxic Chemicals Revealed on Derailed Ohio Train than First Made Public

Ban trains. Done. Any more problems need solving?

"Government released"? Was that a government-owned train on a government-owned railroad?

It was the government that decided to burn the chemical to "prevent an explosion."

HeadSet says

Why would they cover this up?

Kind of fucks up their narrative they just spent the last two years building, that only the government can keep you healthy.

RWSGFY says

"Government released"? Was that a government-owned train on a government-owned railroad?

It's called Amtrak, government owned for decades now.

Not sure if anyone remembers the threatened rail strike. They changed their systems a while back and totally fucked things up. Workers are on insane schedules now, that probably leave them more than a bit sleepy. Centralization at it's finest.

Amtrak is a passenger service. How is it related to this particular covfefe?

Yep, I remember this with the Deepwater Horizon spill.

"Much of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill has disappeared because of bacteria. Oil-eating microbes have consumed a considerable portion of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. Chemicals used to disperse the oil kept it underwater, making it more available to the microbes that live in the deeper portions of the ocean." - CNBC

“What EPA claims is the "safe" lifetime dose of dioxin — now raining down over Ohio and PA — is he weight of 1/32,000,000th (one thirty-two millionth) of an aspirin tablet.”

@DC_Draino
Is this really happening?

Netflix released a movie in 2022 called “White Noise” about a train crash in a sleepy Ohio town and how a chemical explosion forced people to evacuate

I’m not kidding

What the hell
