Is Trump to blame for Ohio derailment?

[OddBeMe]

He did rollback the regulations that MAY have prevented it. But also Trump and Repubs refused to invest in infrastructure and instead pass huge tax cuts.

No, get over Trump libtard!

Yeah…Trump’s a bit to blame

Idk…

Train derailments are rather common, not unlike car accidents, so far we are still down on the year. Since 1990s there have been on advantage 1,705 derailments a year.

Sure, so not investing in rail infrastructure is to blame.

[Opinion Owner]

@oddbeme I don't agree its Washington D. C.'s responsibility to invest in a rail road infrastructure.
We already have half a dozen major players maintain their track adequately for what they are doing.

Which is slow cargo, frankly if soo much of this rail network wasn't already built we might not need anywhere near as much as we have.

Rail has a dwindling number of advantages over faster more modern transpiration tecnoligy, the main advantage they have weight over land. Which is why its only profitable in the cargo sector.

Only in High population densities areas like maybe parts of the North East do other factors begin to drag down the alternatives enough for rail to even begin to make sense for people.

Propaganda...
said rollback of regulations was to change all trains shipping hazardous freight to a specific breaking system. The train had overheating wheel bearing, wich has nothing to do with the breaks.

[goaded]

Unlike the old (19th century) system that relies on pressure being released through pipes, the electronic braking system in question starts all the wagons braking at the same time, so that you don't get heavy wagons pushing into the damaged wagon (these trains are up to 3km long). It would almost certainly have helped avoid a derailment or, failing that, reduced the impact.

Trump's not entirely to blame, because the rail companies managed to get the proposed legislation watered down during the Obama administration, but the deadline to get the new brakes installed by 2023 was dropped in Trump's desire to deregulate everything.

"it can take up to two minutes for a commanded brake application to propagate to the back of a long freight train"

Voted c by mistake I wanted to hit b, yeah if he allowed companies to just skip out on the maintenance then that is his/ other presidents, the companys and lobbyists fault

[Anonymous]

This has been a problem with successive governments since the 80s. Each one passed it on. Congress shot down any bills proposed by trump simply because trump proposed them.

[goaded]

There already was a regulation to have better brakes installed by 2023. Trump's administration decided to get rid of it.

[Opinion Owner]

@goaded so why are told in the latest round of pass the buck

[goaded]

Well, it's true.

[Opinion Owner]

@goaded true that fuher Biden passes the buck.

Its unfortunate Trump was perhaps the most qualified president to preside over infrastructure projects we have had in 50 years.

[OddBeMe]

@monorprise dear god, did you cum when you wrote that? I puked.

Trump could be 10 bill richer if he left daddy’s money in an index fund. But he played businessman and lost it all. I doubt he’s even a millionaire.

[monorprise]

@OddBeMe Trump has more experience and skills in development than any other president in the last 50+ years. Trump actually spent his life learning how to manage such projects and money.

Were as politicians never never cared how much money they spent, that was the next guy's mess.

[OddBeMe]

@monorprise does his spray tanned ass make your face orange when you kiss it that much?

He lost a billion dollars on casinos. He should be exiled for incompetence there.

[monorprise]

@OddBeMe
If we exciled people for losing other people's money we wouldn't have a goverment. Trump paid his own money to learn his lessions not ours.

[OddBeMe]

@monorprise still doesn’t mean he’s not a shit businessman. Obama is a constitutional scholar from…(checking) Harvard…and worked as a social organizer in…(checking) south Chicago where it’s needed most.

[monorprise]

@OddBeMe Anyone can be a "Constitutional scholar" you just have to declare yourself that. In Obama's case he got his employer do do it for him. Regardless that doesn't mean Obama know or cares about the Constitution even less so that a lawyer nessarly cares about the law.

In both cases they saw the credentials and knowledge as a tool to advance their own agenda even if that mean in disregard of the same. Judge for yourself such thing for they are words meant for people.

It is however in the field of economic, not politics that the defining charterer of success is unambiguously the acquisition of wealth. In this regard Donald Trump was unusually successful with some actual experience superior to every other president in the last 50+ years specifically in the area of construction and project management.

[OddBeMe]

@monorprise No dumbass you earn it…like a scholarship. You think Rhodes Scholars is an after school club? No wonder the right wing are idiots.

[monorprise]

@OddBeMe
No Rhodes Scholar is someone who received a British university scholarship, hardly a U. S. Constitutional expert even if such a thing were compatible with a free constitution depended upon everyone reading it for themselfs.

[OddBeMe]

@monorprise reread your last post and tell me right wingers aren’t from the shallow end of the gene pool?

[monorprise]

@OddBeMe
I never thought of you as a right-winnger, regardless i don't think the fact that you don't know what a Rhodes Scholar is means your from the shallow end of the gene pool.

Its a rather obscure scholarship in 2022 only 32 students were selected.

[goaded]

@monorprise 32 out of the whole USA? Does that mean that Rhodes scholarships are easy to get, or does the applicant have to be exceptional? Think carefully.

[OddBeMe]

@monorprise I was being mean. Hard day. But seriously, pisses me off when people are anti intellectual and think Harvard fckin Constitutional Scholar is nothing. It’s not. Losing a billion in casinos ain’t nothing either.

[monorprise]

@OddBeMe Rhodes Scholarship is to Oxford not Harvard. Their judgement of what Americans are worthy of that scholarship is not only their opinion its unrelated to said people's qualifications on our American Constitution.

[goaded]

@monorprise That much is true, but if only 32 US students get accepted, they must be exceptional, no?

[monorprise]

@goaded Perhaps to Oxford insofar as Oxford's employees can judge them perhaps. Not to me nor nessarly anyone else.

In all the world my wife is the 1 woman on earth I choose to marry. She is indeed exceptional to me, That doesn't mean you would agree.

[OddBeMe]

@monorprise I know that dipshit, Harvard constitutional scholars is a merit…not a fcking Facebook profile.

[Somoneelse]

As a non-American person. I think this has nothing to do with both of them.

[Lyndsielee666]

I think everyone knows the answer too that😏
