Had Trump not tried to make such obvious propaganda over this toxic spill — caused by railroad executive and private corporate disregard of safety measures — the Dems would probably never have made a big deal of his administration’s previous deregulation measures sabotaging long-overdue safety enhancements, nor would journalists have again revealed — to a very small degree — the corporate money corrupting politicians — of both parties. The party in power and relevant “influencers” in Congress almost always gets special attention.
The earlier improvements mandated under the Obama administration were really only half steps and inadequate given the antiquity of U.S. railroads. “Regulators” are regularly “captured” by corporate industry lobbyists in virtually every field. Industrial unions are weak and normally nobody protests so long as stock portfolios, like executive stock options, increase in value. Until a new disaster of course. Our whole society and both parties are under the ideological sway of finance capitalism, putting private interests above social ones.
Social interests? Isn’t that just another word for … “socialism”?
Can’t have any of that!
'Had Trump not....'
NOTHING TRUMP DID CAUSED OR CONTRIBUTED TO THIS TRAIN DERAILMENT DISASTER.....NOTHING!
'B...b...b...but Truuuuuuuuuuuuuuump!'
