Just a friendly reminder congressional Republicans are having hearings about hunter’s laptop and twitter
And NOT ON the massive hazardous release of chemicals in the Ohio train crash.
Or any of the other hazardous train crashes that happened this week.
Ps: there were multiple train crashes and chemical spills.
@BlastBunny Chem spill on I-10 in Tucson yesterday. Semi truck rolled over on a stretch of highway that is too narrow (2 lanes each way) for the amount of heavy traffic and cargo trucks. We need a return to the rail service that ran parallel to I-10 east out of Tucson. Too many vehicles for the road to handle.
Then we need regulations to make sure those rail cars can run and function properly
THE EXACT OPPOSITE
of what conservatives did.
@BlastBunny Yep. The rail service in that corridor has been shut down for years now. The interstate is being torn to shreds by the excessive truck traffic. Miles and miles of 2 lanes each way, with long stretches thru the desert without off ramps+ EXTREME traffic jams where emergency vehicles cannot get to an accident and people cannot get out of being stuck for hours.
This spill happened in a populated area, so lots of 'shelter in place'. But the railroad wanted to save money, abandoned line.

Man almost like public transit helps ease congestion and we’ve made fuck all advancements in that field as well.
