Democratic Sen. Sherrod  Brown said there is “no question” that Norfolk Southern is fully responsible for the train derailment in his home state of Ohio that killed three people and left a community in fear for their health and safety. The train was carrying vinyl chloride and other carcinogens, and residents are concerned that the chemicals are leaching into the surrounding water, soil, and air.
Brown blamed Norfolk Southern for laying off vital workers, prioritizing profit over caution, and lobbying for lax safety regulations — all of which he said contributed to the crash. “Everything that’s happened here, all the cleanup, all the drilling, all the testing, all the hotel stays, all of that is on Norfolk Southern. They caused it,” Brown said during an appearance on CNN’s State of the Union Sunday. “There’s no question they caused it with this derailment, because they underinvested in their employees.”
Brown went on to say that as he understands it, there were only three full-time Norfolk Southern employees on the derailed 150-car train “because they have laid off so many people.” Unions alleged in 2021 that as a result of workforce layoffs, engineers were being forced into performing duties belonging to conductors and brakemen — a violation of their contract.
“That’s why I’m angry, when I look at these companies lay people off,” Brown said. “They never look out for their workers. They never look out for their communities. They look out for stock buybacks and dividends. Something’s wrong with corporate America, and something’s wrong with Congress and administrations listening too much to corporate lobbyists. That’s got to change.”
The senator went on to explain how corporate lobbyists push for weakened rules when a conservative president is in the White House. “Every time there’s a new administration, particularly a more conservative one that’s more pro-corporate, they put all these regulations on the table about safety, about worker safety, community safety, the environment, consumer protections, and, at the behest of lobbyists, far too often, they weaken those laws,” Brown explained.  ...

I used to be friends with this lunatic. I had to get him to back off harassing some of my other friends more than once. The moment I make a passive-aggressive post calling him out on his behavior, I’m apparently worse than the Joker in his eyes. And TBH, I hate to bring politics into this tag, but if he voted for trump, that wouldn’t surprise me. After all, he did decide to use the KKK as an argument against my distaste for rethuglicunts.
I’m not the one telling people to kill themselves.
I’m not the one adovcating piracy.
I’m not the one lying like I have a pathological compulsion.
I’m not the one basically doing cyber-bullyiung if not outright TERRORISM.
I’m not the one showing off psychopathic  levels of sympathy and empathy.
I’m not the eon acting superior and talking about how I can take criticism and the delete all criticism against me and call the people criticizing me “whiteknights.”
That’s all you.
And let quote what you said:
They aren’t people. They’re conservatives.
That is literally the justifications that groups like The KKK use to justify their actions. You were literally dehumanizing people because they have a different opinion than you. And with you, it’s 50/50 whether it’s a joke or you’re being serious.
Again, apologies for bringing politics into this. I kinda hate myself for it, but it had to be done.
After all, “if one liberal is okay with how trump is running the country, then all other liberals are just whining!” - That’s Kob. That’s what he’s basically saying. Only ONE person being okay with it means that everyone else is just whining.
No, what I say is: “If one person disagrees with you, you cannot say that all the people in this group abide by what you think.” Like how you claim to speak for LGBT people, an LGBT person calls you out for using them as leverage against RT and then you screech at them and claim that they don’t count because they disagree with you even though you aren’t LGBT. If you were right then you wouldn’t need to lie.
I brought politics into this, I am very, very sorry. But only KOB can cause me to do that.
You bring up politics all the time: That’s what all your Ad Hominin and slander is: Politics in trying to make me look like a bad guy.
It shows that you’ll lap up lies and logical fallacies while calling yourself critical simply because it supports what you think. If that’s not confirmation bias I don’t know what is.
