Forgive me if I don't put much stock into some nonsense a poopy union spits out.

Federal regulations and conflicts of interest
Edit
In response to multiple contemporary train derailments, including the 2012 derailment of a train carrying toxic chemicals in Paulsboro, New Jersey,[23] new regulations were issued by the administration of then-President Barack Obama in 2015 requiring train companies to replace the brakes of trains carrying oil and certain flammable liquids, including chemicals, with electronically controlled pneumatic (or ECP) brakes.[24] These regulations were intended to mitigate the damage of a potential future derailment and subsequent toxic spill. In 2018, amid lobbying efforts by the railway industry and Republican Senators,[25] the regulations on ECP brakes were repealed by the administration of then-President Donald Trump.[26] This move has come under scrutiny
, as Republicans were the recipients of more than $6 million in campaign contributions from the railway industry in the 2016 elections.[27] Among those companies lobbying for the rule's repeal was Norfolk Southern,[28] the company that operated the derailed train, leading some[who?] to criticize the appearance of a conflict of interest. At least one member of the Federal Railway Administration[who?] has stated that the accident could have been "preventable" had the train in question had ECP brakes,[29] leading others[who?] to the conclusion that Norfolk Southern chose measures meant to lower costs in lieu of preventing hazard

And it's just been determined that none of the regulations pulled back under Trump had anything to do with the derailment, the leftist Washington Compost even said this.

I pointed out last week that his argument tactics were that of the old school infamous poster Deanshore from the original IMDB boards, because he was arguing just like him. So now he keeps saying Dean. He's doing very well, bless his heart.

See above as to why he and the Repubs. prob. are to blame.
Which would be justified.
If you disagree then show why he shouldn't be.

Ever notice that the POTUS, either Dem. or Repub. never visit man made disasters?
They only visit hurricanes, fires and floods for the photo op and to get votes to pretend they care.
Wonder why they avoid MAN made catastrophes?
