#smh The Administeation finally showed up. This shitshow lies squarely at the feet of this Administration.

When Biden stepped in and stopped the trail workers from striking, they gave furtherance self-control to the very companies that are profit over people-centered. At least Obama faked attempting some common sense regulation over the corporate rail companies.

Norfolk Southern announced Friday that they've all of a sudden decided 3,000 union workers should get 7 paid sick days per year. (Which was the ONLY thing the workers wanted that were willing to strike.)
They actually think giving a little perk to about a 14th of the work force will fix this. It's disgusting.

A little environmental disaster, letting Norfolk Southern decide who, how, when and to where all clean up would be done, is the equivalent of letting the police investigate themselves. And both of those ideas are toxic waste nightmares.

Buttigeig finally appeared at the crash site this past Thursday. When Erin Brochovich shows up before the Transportation Secretary, it's not only bad optics but it's the truth about American politics. Appointments are a joke in Presidential terms. Elaine Chow was not qualified in the Trump area and South Bend Pete is certainly not qualified nor tempered for this type of job.

As most of us knew or assumed, the EPA had full authority, from the start of this nightmare, and until the press leaked the deplorable facts, did nothing. They've now decided to do their jobs..

In-part:

Until Friday, Shore said, the rail company had been solely responsible for the disposal of the waste and supplied Ohio environmental officials with a list of selected and utilized disposal sites. Going forward, disposal plans including locations and transportation routes for contaminated waste will be subject to EPA review and approval, she said.
