Exposure to high concentrations of ammonia in the air can cause burning of the eyes, nose, throat and respiratory tract, and can result in blindness, lung damage or death, health officials say. Exposure to lower amounts can result in coughing and irritation of the nose and throat.
It was a mistake to hand America’s rail system off to private companies and then de-regulate them
And it continues to be a mistake everyday we ignore the problem.
Oh great! Just like East Palestine, Ohio. Just a little boo boo, no big deal!
The rail gods demand a chemical sacrifice
Or like the shipping company that destroyed the bridge and Biden offered to have the feds pay for it totally unprompted…
Why are people always wanting to hold these poor billion dollar corporations accountable for their actions?
Won’t anyone think of the stock prices?!
I haven’t been following the bridge situation, but I thought the idea was that the company would ideally pay eventually, but by having the government pay now they get a bridge much sooner than waiting for years as the shipping company drags it though the courts? Assuming the shipping company doesn’t pull some “we aren’t American, you can’t make us pay shit” move.
Biden could just seize their assets and auction them off till it pays the debts. It’s a multi-billion dollar international shipping company with probably more assets just in that one port than it would cost to replace the bridge…
And before you say “that would be wrong”.
Reminder that civil asset forfeiture is still a thing. If a cop finds $5k in cash on you he can just fucking take it.
The president doesn’t have the power to do that.
It’s a GOOD THING we gave our Tax Dollars to these Companies for Stock Buybacks instead of feed STARVING AMERICAN CHILDREN!
But giving money to starving children would be communism!
Giving it to corporations is, uh, well, you see, a good thing. Surely.
Mostly? Well, that sounds safe.
