Dangerous chemicals on Train that has derailed in Ohio

[Botten]

Ohio catastrophe is ‘wake-up call’ to dangers of deadly train derailments

About 5000 affected by this derailment. Phosgene was carried on the train and it has mixed with hydrogen to create Phosgene which if breathed in can cause a host of problems resulting in death.

There was a small explosion from the train but it was contained.

Residents in a 10 mile radius of the crash around East Palestine were evacuated.

Residents return to find their animals dead on their farms.

Phosgene and hydrogen chloride plume across the region is highly toxic. There is more concern that this gas will seeps into the ground, crops and river water that heads towards the Mississippi River will be affected.

Phosgene oxime does not last in the environment for very long. It breaks down in soil within 2 hours when temperatures are normal, and it breaks down in water within a few days. (https://emergency.cdc.gov/agent/phosgene-oxime/basics/facts.asp)

Well now we know the motive....

yeah may as well ban trains now too right?

lol

4 trillion to the 1% in the last 2 years is not enough for these psycopaths.

[Ooloo]

It seems weird that trains seem to de-rail more often than planes crash. And when they do, they're always full of some hilariously dangerous combination of chemicals.

Reminds me of that huge explosion in beirut a couple years ago. Like, oops! Turns out we were storing 5000 tons of ammonium nitrate inside the fireworks factory! What a bonehead move!

[Jobaber]

America:

Our trains are derailing

Our bridges are collapsing

Our manufacturing is gone

Our workers are revolting

Our education is a disaster

Our healthcare is a joke

Our stock market is fixed

Our currency is made up

And the only value we offer: hollywood, has dried up.

So we gotta invest in something because our goverment is trying to go to war with china

4 trillion to the 1% in the last 2 years is not enough for these psycopaths.Union workers warned about this kind of thing specifically. Welcome to the exact form of capitalism guys like Trump and Biden will guarantee you. Let me guess, when morons on the right somehow realize this what their efforts get them, it will suddenly be "making it political"

In a statement, Candace Wagner, the 2022 Socialist Workers Party candidate for governor of Pennsylvania, who is also a freight rail conductor and member of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen union based in Pittsburgh, 40 miles from East Palestine, said:

“The most recent derailment in Ohio is a reflection of the dangerous working conditions facing rail workers and all those living in the communities alongside the tracks.

“The rail bosses, backed by the federal government, refused to address any safety or other substantive issues raised by rail workers through our unions in the recent national rail negotiations.

“In their lust for profits, the railroad bosses are running increasingly long, heavy trains and pushing on rail workers smaller crews, arbitrary schedules, longer shifts and more work than ever before. Massive cuts have been made in the operating crafts, car inspectors, mechanical and maintenance of way workforces. All this leads to derailments like this, which show that to protect rail workers and all those living near the tracks, our unions need to fight for workers control of production.

“We need measures like a limit of 50 cars per train; a minimum crew of four with two on the head end and two in a caboose or engine on the rear. The state authorities declared a state of emergency in the East Palestine area. Thousands have been evacuated near the derailment. No one knows the long-term effects of this incident on the health of the workers involved, the local residents, and on the air, soil and water.

“A capitalist government functions to guarantee profits for the bosses, facilitating their power to exploit workers’ labor. This is their job, not taking steps to develop the railroads or any other industry to advance the needs of society. For workers, union power and class independence becomes a precondition not only to take control over safety but to organize freight and passenger transportation not for profit, but to meet the needs of workers and farmers.

“We need to build a labor party based on our unions to unite all those exploited and oppressed by capital to organize effective solidarity with union and social struggles and fight to take political power into our own hands.”

yeah... the vast majority of money americans spend goes to another country

from amazon, to mom/pop shops, to the gas station, you're folding your money into paper airplanes and then throwing them across an ocean.

here's an exercise, walk around your house and try to find an item made 100% in the USA. raw materials, parts, assembly and distribution.

I've tried this before, its hard, i don't remember finding anything made 100% in the usa.

[Encroaching Death]

Because our government sold us out in exchange for potential soft power.

They pushed manufacturing over to China in the hopes that we would turn them into loyal capitalists.

government subsidized wages, like the "America Works" plan from House of Cards.

That plan would all but eliminate unemployment, it would drive innovation, and it would raise the standard of living for all poor people. The best part of it is, the majority of those subsidized wages would be taxed right back into the gov'ts pocket in one shape or another.

AmWorks, would actually work.

thats why we'll never see anything like it.

[Encroaching Death]

Well all China is really doing is providing the cheap labor.

Any factory buildings/companies are usually American, owned by Americans.

So it's not China building better and cheaper. It's China allowing Americans to put their factories in China.

So anyone with power is connected to these rich American industrialists in China making bank. So nothing will get done.

We've never had a situation where a nation's entire manufacturing gets uprooted and transferred to another country, but it sure feels wrong.

I've got a protectionist streak to me and I'm not all about 100% turbo capitalism.

A country is an eco-system. We don't allow strange fish into our rivers without making sure the river is fine. We should treat our economy and industries the same.

At the very least, consider moving manufacturing to Mexico. They're closer and friendlier and better quality.

We put ourselves at risk in multiple ways with our current setup.

You can't just rip the entire soul out of the Rust Belt and just say "Adapt."

You usually find another job before you quit your current one.

Why doesn’t China build F-35s?

They did build F-35s, after they stole the sensitive intel, and filled in the gaps with their own tech then called it a J-31.

Reportedly its not even half as capable tho, no one has tracked it on rader performing maneuvers even close to an F-35's agility, so they are still lacking in the engine and avionics departments.

https://i.imgur.com/7mHuPRp.jpg

[Trexller]

If I were worried about the eastern menace (I’m not), I’d be more worried about the J-20

the CCP stole intel on the F-22, and has had 30 years to work on it. J-20 is yet another copy of an American plane. It's super similiar to the F-22.

which may have something to do with why the US military will sell you literally anything except an F-22, we don't want another Iran F-14 problem. Iran is basically the entire reason the F-14 program had to be retired. F-14 was a phenomenal aircraft, and we sold them to Iran in the mid 1970s. Then 1979 happened and Iran became the bad guy again. So now F-14s everywhere are basically grounded because we won't sell parts to fix them, and we refuse to sell the F-22 because its the best fighter jet ever designed, it has beaten the F-35 in air combat many times.

I believed from the start that the entire F-35 program was only ever greenlit because the US needed a fighter jet that it could sell to other nations whose aircraft were aging rapidly, but we will remain on top by keeping the F-22 to ourselves.

It makes sense, every allied partner needs new fighter jets, the US refuses to sell F-22s, and our allied partners can't be completely sure of what their future conflicts will look like, and voila, the F-35 jack-of-all-trades is born.

[Kaveh]

Which is why I’d be more worried about that jet

And again, I’m not. The Chinese, if possible, are even dumber than Russians. And they still have to go through Japan. Plus 70% of South Koreans now support South Korea possessing a nuclear bomb. China pissed off Vietnam, Korea, and Japan. Good luck

[Trexller]

China probably can't create or maintain thrust vectoring.

Marietta MUST go brrr.

the chinese do shoot themselves in the foot and stand in their own way, they have some saying which is like, "no bad news goes unpunished" or something.

basically in the chinese business world, everybody, I mean everybody is a sycophant.

nobody will ever give their boss bad news, or report that a design is flawed, or that the materials used are insufficient. stack on top of that systemic corruption (sanctioned by the CCP, look into that one... the CCP believes corruption can motivate productivity) then you end up with sub-par products in all sectors.

so, i'd take my chances against a J-21 more likely than not, an F/A-18 can beat it, if it even performs correctly.

we always hear about china flying jets into taiwans airspace, but their flight paths are basically sunday drives.

at the end of the day, it's a product made in china.

You guys ever shop at Harbor Freight? you know what im talking about.

This is actually the correct opinion, even though I'm solidly anti-China.

If anyone is interested in China and how retarded they actually are, check out: https://www.youtube.com/@TheChinaShow

We in the West like to view China as this foreboding country who is playing 4D chess, but it's clear they have no idea what they're doing and they aren't the least bit proactive.

And they're probably a worse paper tiger than Russia is.

These types in the East cling to a big lie in order to survive, but their entire country exists on toothpicks held up on a house of cards.

They’re not more of a paper Tiger than Russia, Russia won’t even stand up to Azerbaijan. But they have very real problems and more importantly as much as we hate China, their neighbors hate them ten times more.

To be clear, I still don’t want to fight China. I think that would be cataclysmic for the fate of the species because the Chinese are too stupid and nationalistic to give in and our country has two parties who revel in calling the other side cowards if they don’t respond in the most hawkish way possible. In short, the US doesn’t have adults in leadership anymore and the Chinese never had adults to begin with.

[Kaveh]

Having the style of prose, but in this context I mean it as “they are trying to derive lessons from it” but those lessons don’t apply to a wider world. They lack the poetry of life, IE the ability to think figuratively

[Kaveh]

I'm not convinced this is a feature unique to the Chinese, but I don't know if that is what you were implying.

The Chinese were given a relatively isolated large land mass with many advantages and they think that the history of that region, which was relatively advanced when compared to the world, means that they are advanced

It doesn’t and they aren’t. Same dumb shit you hear when you talk to an iranian. “We had an empire.” Yep, 1400 years ago, and now we use the religion of our conquerors to oppress ourselves. The Chinese are even dumber

Lol’d

“Meatball Ron” + the group execution thing is making me think about TRUMP again in ‘24

[Jobaber]

Trump is not as bad as everyone makes him out to be!

But if he wins again I hope one of his eyes falls out and he builds an army 200 million people strong to make freedom global law.

[Encroaching Death]

Even if they get rid of Trump, there's bound to be another that springs up.

Currently we have western governments colluding together to create some centralized, controlling one-world neo-fascist state. Where we are stripped of our rights and possessions, only to rent everything from Walmart.

It'll all be in the name of 'safety' and 'security'.

The US and the EU both get boners over the thought of enslaving us.

Historically, authoritarianism doesn't live forever. People get fucking pissed and resist.

And there will be more "leaders of the people" who they will call racist and sexist. And retarded Leftists will lick the boot and believe it, all while the police state convinces them that "they're TOTALLY resisting".

Because the giant government police state colluding with corporations is ALWAYS the good guy when they face off with a man of the people...who will think of the poor old authoritarian police state?

Basanos and Horza will. Lick that boot, boys.

Trump isn't as bad as everyone makes him out to be, he just partied with the most famous pedophile in the world for years.

Nice chan meme you had saved and posted in 20 seconds?

Hope you like voting for an obese groomer again, because he's going to strongarm your party into giving him the nomination or threaten to run independent to keep those donations coming in.

I'm voting for chaos.

I'm happy that Trump has the GOP shitting their pants.

I want to send the worst possible person to D.C. - I want them all to hate their life.

Trump has been an absolute godsend in that regard.

I wonder why these guys can't get moderates to vote for their party while they're busy nominating people they describe as the worst possible.

No amount of moderates will fix the problem in D.C.

You can't vote your way out of this mess.

A controlled burn is needed.

Without suburban moderates on your side you will never see another Republican in the White House, not that I'm complaining if people like you ranting about the cleansing flame are excluded from ever passing legislation.

I found this article interesting on the subject with our closest animal relative.

Mother nature has a way with dealing with survival.

Or it could be all the microplastics and other insane chemicals in our food.

I'd be curious to see a comparison between an American (who eats god knows what) and a European or Japanese person who eats fresh fish from the river.

McDonald's was the weapon of mass destruction this entire time...

We also thought smoking cigarettes was good for our health.

Maybe we shouldn't put chemicals in our food that other countries have banned?

But I'm sure the microplastics in food is saving us from infant mortality...

Oh wait, it isn't. The US has one of the highest childbirth mortality rates in the world.

Maybe if we didn't stuff our faces with absolute shit, our babies would survive.

Yeah, see how we're darker than all other First World nations?

Horrible.

Probably due to microplastics and In N Out animal style burgers

We're talking about child lives here, Wonk.

I get to be deceptive and slippery when lives are on the line.

Hospitals are literally executing newborns with .45 ACP right as well speak...I mean with microplastics. Yeah, microplastics.
