Train derailments happen ALL the time - something like 1800 occur every year in the US. This specific derailment is a huge issue because 1. the material being transported was hazardous, but wasn't labeled or manifested as hazardous by NS, and 2. it occurred in an area alongside a major US waterway which could completely decimate the local ecosystem.

I have less issue with who's in office, and more issue with the big lobbying arm of major corporations owning all the politicians in office. This article https://www.levernews.com/rail-companies-blocked-safety-rules-before-ohio-derailment/ does a good job explaining how they've been able to skirt around improving safety measures in order to keep costs down.
the real issue is it didnt have to be registered as hazardous. they followed the rules of having just enough hazardous cars on the train to not go over the limit and thus did not have to manifest as hazardous.

Come on people I don't think Pete Buttigerg, Joe Biden, Trump or Larry the town drunk wanted this to happen.

The website linked by this guy on Twitter has nothing to do with the government's Justice40 Initiative. That website is just a frontpage for a report that the groups funding it are using to try to influence the government's program.

The measurements the government is actually using can be found on the map that is linked in the story that Redfern chose to only screenshot a sentence of in order to make up his slanted, hit job narrative. There is a reason that his thread avoids linking to any actual information on the initiative outside of his one screenshot.

Don't fall for everything you see on Twitter.

People who vote for candidates that run on/vote to defund the EPA are upset and screaming about the EPA letting this happen/not preventing this

Sounds about right

This is the justice 40 website showing the ladies he mentions in his tweet, are indeed the ladies running it. They absolutely support marxism. https://www.thejustice40.com/#who-we-are

Here is wh.gov site literally saying they are working with and funding justice40


In fact, if you do a google search for justice40, it's on EVERY GOV WEBSITE which means our tax dollars are funding it.

You obviously didn't read a word of my prior statement so let's try this again:

SUMMARY
Justice40 Initiative = Government run initiative (uses .gov websites and never mentions justice40.com or its study in any of the content)
Justice40.com = Some lobbying/special interest group that created a study to influence the federal policy
