@bojacobs@hcommons.social One could argue that if government doesn't enact and maintain adequate safety regulations that prevent situations like this, that there is no reason to support governments with our taxes. Governments are not only about foreign affairs. They are also about domestic safety from industrial/corporate/wealthy negligence and malfeasance. And adequate mitigation and penalties when their efforts fail.
If the Biden administration doesn't cause heads to roll, including internally, but also corporate heads, then the people impacted will determine whether they and their party are returned for a second term.* That's how important the impact zone is to Presidential politics.

@aka_quant_noir@cinematheque.social @bojacobs@hcommons.social this falls back on the secretary of transportation mr Pete Buttigieg, who’s been remarkably silent. Railroad is directly regulated by Federal Railroad Administration under the Department of Transportation. The only thing that stinks more than the chemicals is the level of corruption right now. Biden needs to intervene since nobody seems to be doing anything or taking the lead
