  2. Joe Biden don't care and everyone knows that

  3. Why even mention what color of skin people have along the route?

    Peoples skin color has been known to keep trains on thier tracks.😂😂😂

  4. This guy is stupid. What is his solution for the transport? Did he forget EVERY THING around him are made with chemicals.

  5. Why can Chemical Companies use Sea Lanes to transport their products to the East Coast??

  6. Vote Green Party. Both parties have been sucking up to Norfolk Southern all year, especially that crooked Mike DeWine who a mere month earlier was sponsored by them at his state of the state address.
    There is a factory thanks to Trump just across the border in PA which is spewing out this stuff daily.
    Nothing has been done in DC. Biden is only finally going there after a big EPA fail on this because it is an election year and the Democrats like to pretend they are the environmental party but that upsets their donors.
    The Republicans are just all to happy to announce their distaste for any regulations meant to keep you safe as getting in the way of making money.

  7. I worked for an Amish owned plastic manufacturer in Pennsylvania who ignored the fact that he allowed the plastic shavings to be washed by rainwater into a stream that drained into the Chesapeake Bay. It's still happening to this day.

  8. Why do they have to point out 90% color? Why does that matter?

  9. They Don't Pay Money For Brand New Railroad Tracks For All Trains In Used For 🛤

  10. Stop hiring diversity hires to drive your trains and this wouldn’t happen

  11. Chemicals dont cause cancer 0:28

  12. The protestors should try blocking the train tracks. By reading this you release me from all legal litigations.

  13. Great headline! Not confusing at all!

  14. It's NOT the "Chemical from East Palestine".
    It's the SAME chemical in the East Palestine…
    Jesus!

  15. Why don't they go back to glass bottles???🤔🤔🤔

  16. Republicans don’t want regulations

  17. American archaic infrastructure. China are the world's leaders in infrastructure and fast speed rail so maybe blame them for the US being backward. Maybe blame the Japanese for having bullet trains way back in 1964 when The Beatles released their first record album. Last year there were radioactive water leaks in Minnesota and now Philadelphia and Louisiana. Where is Biden's infrastructure funding? Surely DeSantis and Abbott haven't used up all the infrastructure funds to send migrants from another state to another state like he did with Florida's Covid funding. In 2022, there were more than 1,000 train derailments in the Divided States.

  18. The only sad part is how bad the economy is that the spill didn't even affect real estate prices there.

  19. And planes are not that safe either

  20. How's that theft deterrent going, all that extra plastic packaging in retail products? 😀

  21. Gotta make those water bottles. People complain about the cost of gas, while they pay more for bottled water.

  22. so it doesn't matter if they are broke white people

  23. I'm sure the gqp can explain exactly why the regulations were stripped in 2018.

  24. 95 percent is a big number on the lol white guy I guess haha😅
