*
Jim Hightower:
“This rolling bomb of a train was hardly unique, for the handful of multibillion-dollar railroad giants that control the industry also control lawmakers and regulators who’re supposed to protect the public from public-be-damned profiteers.”
“Tracking Norfolk Southern’s Derailment”
*

Never fear! Washington doesn’t give a shit! Ever. This is a glimpse into what is to come:
“'Help us!!': Crews work to get supplies to stranded residents after severe snowstorms
California Gov. Gavin Newsom declared a state of emergency Thursday.”
*
All you have to be is faster than the people your with at the time of encounter:
“Do not ‘push a slower friend down’ if you encounter a bear, National Park Service warns”
*
Sorry, you don’t get to hide behind Republican operatives. No excuse, you either do it or you don’t:
“Plan B to cancel student loan debt? The White House won’t go there even as pressure mounts”
*
“Nearly two million gallons of wastewater and thousands of cubic yards of contaminated soil have already been removed from the site, with more to go. Every aspect of removal is governed by regulations.”
“Here's why it's hard to clean up toxic waste from the East Palestine train derailment”

But Biden is giving health care for all and stimulus checks and more to Ukrainians:
“Desperate mountain residents trapped by snow beg for help: ‘We are coming’ sheriff says”
*
“Biden and his Dems\Reps need to Fund Medicare For All like your funding healthcare for Ukrainians”
Also doesn’t it strike people as flawed that Democrats and Republicans 30% ensure further biosphere collapse making it a question of setting a side a portion of a dying whole so that portion can thrive?! Do Medical Doctors come to you with an unbeat face and say “sorry you loved one is as good as dead but be sure to put them in the casket with, say, their left arm hanging out of the casket so it can thrive”.

Helping the poor is a ticketable offense in Biden’s America. Also the US Supreme Court is more than willing to overreach into your bedroom and uterus, but not in feeding people?:
“Volunteers feeding homeless in downtown Houston ticketed by HPD officer”
*
“Fact check: Republicans at CPAC make false claims about Biden, Zelensky, the FBI and children”

This we know, but on all other economic matters, including Covid deaths we can only speculate? And America exports enough dirty energy to drive the emissions of 100’s of coal plants. So, pot kettle:
“China is building six times more new coal plants than other countries, report finds”
Quote:
“The report by energy data organizations Global Energy Monitor and the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air [both heavily influenced by Saudi America] finds the country quadrupled the amount of new coal power approvals in 2022 compared to 2021.”
