Reply to comment by CltAltAcctDel in Shapiro: Pennsylvania DEP will test water in connection with Ohio train derailment by oldschoolskater
Not all of PA's water is contaminated, but they burned the chemicals sending them into the atmosphere. Winds blowing to the east carried it and can create problems with rain and air quality. I don't believe for a second that the air and water in western and other parts of PA will go unscathed by this. To what degree I'm not sure. I am really curious to see what the tests we run show.

America is a death cult. We love death, and all of our public policies are tilted towards creating more of it.
We've got levels of infant mortality in the deep south that would embarrass the third world that we can't do anything about, but we can put a gun in every teenager's hands no problem.

Railroad Joe? The POTUS can't directly influence SCOTUS rulings, and JB only appointed a single justice.

So you want to cut their budget so they can do more?

You need to work on your reading comprehension instead of making up things that nobody said

Or maybe their spending their money on other health issues, have you seen the price of insulin or other diabetes medication oh not to mention chrons and uc meds are expensive. Or maybe just maybe their putting their money in the gas tank or on a table things are definitely not the same as they used to be 🙂

So we don’t see environmental nonsense when democrats are in control? What’s going on the the EPA right now?
Their budget goes up basically every year and they really don’t respond to disasters well at all. Look at PFAS, Parkersburg, etc.

Reply to Interning in Carlisle, anything I should know before accepting my offer? by ilikefrenchhorns
You'll be fine. Carlisle is better than North Dakota and Missouri. I'd rather be in Centralia for an internship compared to either of those places you're coming from, TBH.

I'm curious if the railroad company's findings will be different from what PA finds. If it does end up toxic; maybe we can send all of those GOP legislators move to East Palestine while they help clean it up.

Seems like the opposite actually.

I don’t have any reason to not believe this but the question is, would they tell us if something was unsafe? I don’t personally trust that they would

“Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement." -Gandalf
Remember Cameron Todd Willingham. He was convicted on 3 counts of murder for the deaths of his children in a house fire. Most experts that reviewed the case agreed that it was an accidental fire, not arson, but Gov. Perry was making a run for President and wanted to look "tough on crime". He executed Willingham anyway.
I went to school with, and lived on the same street as, a multiple-murderer. I'm friends with someone who was best friends with one of his victims. He was eligible for the death penalty, but was given life without parole instead. It'll be 35 years this summer, and he still sits in prison. His punishment has been far worse than if he had been executed.
