You know they're all the same because you're an ill-informed person who watches Fox News. Maybe you should try broaden your horizon. Perhaps if you could learn how to read that we better. They're not always saying the problem is they're fighting against a bunch of idiotic Republicans. You're probably Republican.

I don't care that he is gay. I care that he can't do his job. I care that he was hired for the job for lining up behind Biden when the party wanted a real candidate. He is a corporatist. We hired a guy who has a long history of making money from corporations. He was hired by a president from the most corporate friendly state in the country Delaware. I am angry that you are not angry. If it was a red guy in charge I would be mad too. I didn't vote for DT or Biden because I know they are all the same.

i am still dumbstruck that they burned it instead of cleaning up the spillage. i hope the residents and towns affected can sue them into oblivion. And I seriously can't buy that it's safe to drink the water. with all the fish dying I wouldn't go anywhere near water -.- This makes me so angry for the people living there.

You know, I'd agree with you. I really would.

Except CNN has video of a wheel bearing in the final stages of failure. Could brakes have prevented a crash in that instance? Probably not. Look up what happens when a bearing fails.

A failed bearing walks back to failed or missed maintenance, which leads back to the workers who were saying they were over worked and it was causing Safety risks. Had workers been allowed to force the railroads into, uh, safe working conditions, that maintenance likely would have been completed and this could have been prevented.

Alas, Bumblefuck knew better and now a huge area is ecologically ruined because of it.

Edit:

Downvote away.

Here's a study from the UK that says a failed bearing can cause derailment.

And here, is Vox an undeniably left leaning site that's saying the likely cause of this was, you know, a bearing. New brakes would only work if your train was still attached to the track.

Lastly, here is Vice. Also an incredibly Left leaning publication. In this one, workers who claim to be familiar with the train in question say they're not shocked it crashed and also point out they now have 90 seconds to inspect each car. A train car is 55+ feet long. For perspective, before you type anything to me, go out and look at your personal car. Set a timer on your phone for 90 seconds. Try and inspect every safety feature on your car, including looking under it. See how long it takes you. Now imagine having to do both sides, of a vehicle 3 times longer in the same time period and tell me if you think the workers probably should have been allowed to strike for better conditions.

You're welcome. I once had an attorney who pushed me to take a plea deal, and he even lied to me and threatened me. He was supposed to be on my side!

I'm recommending her because I really do think she'll be on your side.

My own horrible experience with that guy makes me genuinely feel for you. I was absolutely innocent, and it sounds like that might be true for you. Too many people think you must be guilty if charges were filed at all. It's simply not true.

She did some very cruel stuff, but there's no doubt that she's in it to win it. That's better than being in it to win points with Prosecution or just to milk clients.

Best wishes to you.

I understand, but jn the US we have a constitutional right to a speedy trial, and by Supreme Court precedent as well as the official rules, guidelines, and procedures of the state court system, 2 years is well beyond anyone's definition of "speedy". If it were just one or two continuances for genuine emergencies, maybe, but asking for FOUR continuances, each one the day before the trial and one of them because one of the witnesses has "a business appointment"? Nuh-uh. You're the one taking me to court, you've known the date for months. Your bad scheduling is not my problem. Buy a fucking calendar.

1000x is incorrect, but it is several hundred trucks worth of cargo per train. You're missing that there are still way more trucks than trains and trains carry less than 30% of freight shipped in the US, and most of that train freight is on a truck to get to the train, and to get from the train to the last mile.

Criminal and family law: https://lawyers.justia.com/lawyer/kimberly-a-shoen-1230434

As long as you don't care about zero scruples, zero moral character. She's one of those "nothing is sacred" types.

She's also in family law, that's where I know her from. Tell her I said "go fuck yourself." I personally detest her, but she does sound like what you need. Part of me hates to send her clients, but she's so aggressive my ex actually fired her, lol.

Solar panels and windmills will never produce the amount of electricity our society needs. Powerplants are needed. Helping them with technologies to burn fossil fuel more cleaner and efficiently is what people need to get on board with. Schiller has 3 boilers. 1 is a wood burner the other 2 are coal. The wood boiler ran most of the time. The others when peak energy usage occured. Winter and summer .
