Chemical Spill in Illinois...37 sent to the hospital; 7 in Critical Condition

Apparently so... he didn't send FEMA in.

He didn't need to. It was a LOCAL event. This East Palestine event is REGIONAL thanks to the gross incompetence of the federal authorities.

Maybe the EPA would be more suitable.

We could. We can say the EPA would be better maybe, as they handled the supersites. What I don't think makes sense is the feds not spearheading the cleanup and determining scope of damage, regardless of what agency they settle on.

I'd be for them doing that and then charging every penny of cost to the RR company.

On p.11 it describes how it is determined if a given situation warrants federal support.

If found responsible they likely would.

From the document posted above

"A Responsible Party is strictly liable, jointly and severally, for removal costs plus damages in connection with a discharge of oil or hazardous substances. An RP may be held responsible for government cleanup costs, damage to natural resources, costs of health assessments, and performing cleanup where the site may present imminent, substantial danger.

Hard to imagine candycorn manages to live a normal life being this dumb.

Lol.

As a child when I made a dumb mistake, my dad used to occasionally say to me:

“I don’t know how somebody with your brains can act so dumb.”

I suspect that for most of her life all candicorn has heard is:

“How can someone with your brains even breathe?”

The real sad story here is not the disasters.......
But how your masters have been able to implant Trump so far up your asses that ALL THAT COMES OUT OF YOUR MOUTHS IS TRUMP

And as you well know, I'm not even a Trump fan.

All that goes into your mouth is Trump.

Point your fingers squarely at the railroad company and keep it there. No doubt they are spending money on lobbyists as we speak to get the government to come in and pay for their fuck up.

They want the "Too Big to Fail" designation. They'll probably get it.
