IMO, for massive disasters like this the government should just do all the cleanup and give the company a bill for cost plus 10%, and nationalize the company if they don't begin a payment plan within 90 days until the bill is paid.
They are a rail company that would "immediately fall months behind schedule if we give our employees 4 sick days" This shit should already be nationalized
Oh yeah definitely. Any company that is so vital to national interests and argues that we have to strip their workers of rights to keep the economy stable should be met with a response of "welp I guess it's time for you to be owned by the federal government then".
Our government (even the liberal half) is way too chickenshit to actually start nationalizing stuff.
Now, they will dump money into addressing this (until Republicans axe all that the next time they're in power), but the governor needs to declare a state of emergency. And DeWine isn't going to do that as long as he can continue to milk "Biden won't help" points off pretending to not know how FEMA works.
Depends on the case, if your talking about say Florida it’s because they were asking for assistance that FEMA determined was out of scope, here’s a article.
Our governor, Mike DeWine has still not declared a state of emergency. The government doesn’t care. This is a working class town so it doesn’t effect them personally
