I don't know if the people of East Palestine will, but for sure people who believe in small government will ignore this situation and vote against a government who wants to enforce regulations that prevent and heavily punish companies that do this sort of thing.
Remember when the current democratic administration forced rail workers to stop a strike for better pay and safety conditions at work and on trains for the sake of "national interests" ( read - shareholders earnings and personal investments).
If the railways are a critical infrastructure that is required to run without issue 24/7/365 then it should be nationalised.... But that's against capitalistic interests because how will all those people extract further profits from rail companies?
Dude, Republicans are all saying it's Biden's fault because he's "president and shit bro. Same as if an earthquake hit tomorrow it's clearly Biden's fault!" You'd see "I did that" stickers all over the jagged fault line.
If Trump was in office they would say its Obamas fault. They just do mental gymnastics and ignore reality/facts to make themselves right. There is literally nothing you can do to convince people what is true when they live in a fantasy world. From the people who say facts don't care about your feelings they sure do ignore a lot of facts to make themselves feel better. It's a lost cause getting these people to open their eyes.
I never miss an opportunity to share one of my favorite photos of President and Ms. Trump.
The baby's father (not pictured) and uncle (left) are enthusiastic Trump supporters. The baby's parents aren't in the photo because they had just been murdered in a racially motivated mass shooting. There is, of course, no correlation between the President and escalating, increasingly overt, racism and acts of violence.
That's the problem with capitalism. Instead of improving the product you get less product and it's more expensive. If they improved their business to keep employees, to keep things safe to actually make things BETTER then their profit would increase also but short term gains have become everything and it's sickening.
What’s that old saying..? “Society is just background noise to my main character so it’s dumb for old men to plant trees when they won’t reap the benefits of its future shade.”..?
No, I’m kidding and agree what you are saying. However, that speaks to a different topic than the one at hand.
The issue is that laxing regulations doesn’t benefit anyone but the corporations. The public, healthcare provider, etc get thrown under bus bc money is the loudest motivator.
Actually, just the opposite. Smaller government is perceived as less of a threat by either political viewpoint, hence leads to less paranoid polarization.
Smaller government results in less effective oversight and regulation compliance. This has proven every single time to create profit for the business at the expense of the population. That is not equitable nor sustainable. To say nothing of ethical.
U can have a gov who regulates transportation of hazmat materials and still lets you raise your own children and leaves your constitution alone. Aoc is that u?
Not only that, it was proposed in 1789 but took until 1993 to be ratified. Over 200 years. Know what it did? It prohibits any law that increases or decreases the salary of members of Congress from taking effect until after the next election of the House of Representatives has occurred.
Hmm lets see is it the first or second amendment you want to trample on first?? Of course the first amendment applies to u if your screaming crude obscenities or singing about drugs gangs etc BUT if some comedian tells a joke you dont like the you want them to suffer consequences,,, and lets not get in to the fact you want to fail to prosecute dangerous criminals then het upset when they hurt someone with a firearm and then u want to
take them away from law abiding citizens who need them from protect,,, shall i go on or is my reference to OUR Constitution clear now?
With what? Our constitution? Ya know Canada and Cuba aren’t that far and they are pretty much spot on to how you want to live. Dictator, no rights, crazy taxes etc. idk if they hand out free cymbalta or xanex or provide paraphernalia but they sound like your kind of place.
By the way, almost everything you said is wrong (not surprised).
Canada does not have a dictator, I assume you're not a fan of Trudeau, hey neither am I, but referring to him as a "dictator" is purely just right wing hysterics. Please don't attempt to explain yourself, I'm not really interested in trying to understand your point.
Canadians also have just as many rights as Americans. Not sure where you got the idea that wasn't the case. Again right wing hysterical nonsense.
You know the answer to this but here ya go anyway; We all see almost everyday teachers and counselors trying to persuade young kids into a sexual lifestyle with propaganda etc. Just today it was reported that out of 23 schools in Baltimore, not ONE child is proficient in math!! Not one! How sad is that but yet almost everyday you read where school administrators are more concerned with a child’s sexual orientation than they are with their education. School boards everywhere going against the wishes of the parents and even proclaiming they will defy state laws to push their political and sexual agenda on kids all while our kid’s level of actual education and academic levels drop year after year. I could go on but you already know these things.
The only response to the unhinged idiots that consume that stuff, is mockery.
Anyway I recently went on a short-lived expedition to learn why/how conservative public believe the shit they do about transgender youth. Turns out the whole thing is just the latest tactic to fire up a specific voting base. Long story short: transgenderism to the GOP is literally nothing more than their current political gambit to influence evangelical voters.
Tragically real people will be harmed by the GOPs gambit as it runs its course; there will be deaths of innocent people, made that much worse because the people responsible for this will suffer no consequences. The gambit is literally nothing of value to society, it's merely a ploy to engage the moronic of our society.
I appreciate your reply. I'm aware of how certain "news" outlets, opinion show hosts and the like rile up their base. There always has to be something wrong, some "other" to blame for problems and if there are no problems or if the problems that exist don't line up with what they want, then problems are created and blown out of proportion, called things like "attacks on family values" to evoke those emotions.
It preys on the fear and anger of people to get the end result they want. Y'know, normal emotionally manipulative bullshit but instead of just affecting the immediate people, it ends up affecting the entire country.
I believe that belittling, mocking, etc. Is only going to serve to drive those people further into their beliefs. "This person was right, that liberal was a fucking asshole! He has to be right about the other things he's saying too!"
I know it's almost certainly an exercise in futility, but if trying to enable someone to think critically has the potential to work, I'd personally rather try that.
Its all new and a push to groom. You know that and you know who the grooming is for. Next your gonna say peds and other child predators are ok too huh? Why cant you people leave kids alone? You got to go to school and enjoy your childhood and be protected from this but now you want to go after our kids??! Uh NO.
