Just Asking Questions, man. Making sure the narratives are all in line. Don't even get to talk about these details in the cave because all the people pushing them out here don't post in there, they just say the same stuff out here instead.
After the Ohio Train Derailment: Evacuations, Toxic Chemicals and Water Worries
When a train derailed in the village of East Palestine on Feb. 3, it set off evacuation orders, a chemical scare and a federal investigation.

We have decisions to make on infrastructure investment, also shipping chemicals, lng, etc are regulated. So when something bad happens, there’s an aspect of that coupled with what the response should be.
That would explain it. Thanks. "Ashfall" (if you will) would land in the watersheds. I imagine the fire departments are also on hand cooling around the controlled burn which would also lead to run off.
It blows my mind that people think politics isn't central to this. Who do you think regulates all this to make sure they aren't poisoning everyone to cover their ass and open up the railway again? Who is going to hold them accountable for what they've done already? Who steps in the aftermath to help this small town handle what's going on and helps fund the recovery?
If you want the safe space version of this just read the news article, there's no way to discuss the aftermath rationally without politics.

What about the journalist that was arrested trying to cover the accident. Can't get the info to share from jail. If you think it is because it makes Biden look bad, well, that's just foolish.
Which could be a deeper dive in the cave. Not out here where the rules have been mentioned over and over.
Yeah, because officials and responders never downplay and deflect the severity of an incident in order to make themselves look better.
I recommend reading up on the first federal Super Fund site, Love Canal
Well no ****, I am not saying it isnt regulated. but its not either side would have wanted this to happen. But in the end Fox News and CNN will blame each side. Thats what I am saying, its a joke.
Which is annoying, because the only group to actually blame here is the one operating the trains.
Norfolk Southern. That is the company that operated this train. It's frustrating that their name is not being brought up in every single article about the incident.
Also, I think secondary blame can be placed on Congress and the Biden admin for shutting down the railroad workers strike in December.
I'm sure they were just cutting corners to save costs at the expense of safety like any good corporation, no biggie.
