Not really. I frankly have no idea what ‘regulation’ was changed that would increase the likelihood of a toxic train wreck. Do you? Accidents happen. This one happened under Biden/Buttigieg. What is their first (EASILY PREDICTABLE) response….. must be Trump’s fault. Answer me this Ed, how many more years of ‘bad regulations’ will Biden be able to blame on Trump? |

As a matter of principle it’s exactly what most republicans do sooner or later. “FREE UP THE ECONOMIC ENGINE”. Then that freed economic engine derails while pursuing profit over safety. SOP Not only are Republicans more likely to dismiss regulations as unnecessary, but they also seem likely not to have actually studied the situation, so it's based on something other than "more money".

| Tanko Member since: Aug 15, 2019 Threads: 0 Posts: 2470 | The brakes and the emergency braking system worked pretty well. The cause was an overheated wheel bearing. Perhaps too much load. The train was 150 cars long. Certainly too much of the toxic carcinogenic gas that is also a flammable and potentially explosive, for a single train to be carrying. Eleven cars carrying vinyl chloride derailed. The Secretary of Transportation finally visited the town for a photo op, today. Three weeks after the event. It took him ten days to even Tweet about it. |

He shouldn't have even visited Of course the visit is a photo op Not much different from Trumps visit ALL politicians visiting a disaster area are photo ops Shouldn't have even tweeted Why Tweet about anything. Twitter is just meaningless rubbish What matters is the result of the investigation. Everybody knows overall Dems legislate towards more cautious safety regulations and Republicans legislate towards loosening safety regulations Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |

| odiousgambit Member since: Oct 28, 2012 Threads: 165 Posts: 6378 | I agree with what you are suggesting, that these are obvious things to be changed forevermore and Terrapin Ed, I agree that it is silly to pay attention to photo op visits. On the other hand, Butt-Judge should know people do I'm Still Standing, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah [it's an old guy chant for me] |
