    Racist and too many white construction guys. Been around construction all my life. Always have seen many shades. If you have skills and actually want to work you get a job. Blk or white brown or yellow that's dam hard to find now days.

    You know they talked about acid rain killing all the trees....what do they or did they think this would do? THEY CHOSE TO SEND THAT ****E AIR BORN ON WINTER WINDS. the EPA is as stupid as their spokesman looks. I am not happy to see SW winds and really hope the rains hold off.
    God protect those poor people and the animals. There are a lot of pregnant wild life and farm animals wonder how many survive and what births will look like.
    2 words some up my thoughts:

    Firing squads

    Less regulation is my guess, drink up Ohio

    Trump Rolls Back Train-Braking Rule Meant to Keep Oil Tankers from Exploding Near Communities

    2018

    Trains that carry oil and other flammable material won’t have to install electronically controlled brakes that reduce the risk of train derailments and explosions after the reversal by Trump officials of an Obama-era safety rule.

    RR companies have a loooooong history of not giving 2 squirts of piss about people, no matter the president.

    Again it was stated that at least 2 miies before the derailment flames were noticed. So if there are senors they were either not working or out and out right ignored by engineer.

    Germ go hug your daughter, thank God your not walking in another's shoes and seek help for your TDS, really

    While I agree, that is exactly why you have regulation, correct?

    Sure. Regulate them and still have accidents that the companies will pay a relatively small fine and never pay those families a frigging penny for cancer, loss of property etc.

    My point is, it is silly to play the point the finger at the president for every industry short fall. Point the finger at the unelected department head, regulatory committee and the actual party responsible, in this case the RR. And yes that goes for every exec branch leader.

    Trump caused this? Did Biden cause the Michigan State shooting? Did Obama cause Sandy Hook?

    Cause, no Could the controlled brakes may have helped and perhaps prevented this? I don't know, but the fact he removed the regulation to help prevent this scenario is not good so the railway companies could save some $.

    Who removed the regulation? Trump, that's not pointing a finger, it's stating a fact.

    Who botched the exit from Afghanistan? That would be Biden

    Who helped and he did help with dumb ass policy's in the fear and the rise of gas prices, that would be Biden

    Who made the border less secure by removing Trump policy's, that would be Biden

    Really not that hard to state facts

    No, its not hard to state the facts, but it still seems easy to miss the point.

    Could have perhaps prevented this, when there was a fire for 20 miles before hand? You may want to look that up
    It takes approximately 1 mile to stop a fully loaded train traveling 55mph So try blaming Trump for the next 19 or even 18 mile delay. While ignoring the fire that may or may not have cased the axel fail.
