Expand https://georgewbush-whitehouse.archives.gov/government/mineta-bio.html This is what good looks like. A democrat who was eminently qualified for the position, unlike the inept mayor of South Bend. Chao? Who cares. Now that we know what good looks like, perhaps someone will step up to the plate and tell us why Pete was a good choice for the job and why he has been a good Sec even if he’s not in Mineta’s league. Maybe that person can do so without name calling, gifs, memes, or TDS on display. Unlikely, I know.

Zero answers from the leaders in our government about any of it. Expand The silence is bipartisan, actually, because the blame is bipartisan. The Trump administration overturned ECP brake requirements for freight trains, while both the Obama and Biden/Buttigieg administrations have allowed rail industry lobbyists to relax safety limits way beyond what engineering common sense would ever deem safe. Both political sides open themselves up to great weakness if they attack the other, and so the corporate media for each side will just follow suit because they are complicit propaganda machines. Call the widespread silence a perverse Nash equilibrium, I guess… More than anything, I’d say that these recent train disasters are an indictment of American-style capitalism. It’s the neoliberal culture of deregulation that has been en vogue since the 1980’s. Corporate profits are funneled into stock buybacks instead of increased practical safety measures. Sociopathic CEO’s exercise poor risk assessments, corporate oligarchs hijack our government, average Americans in average towns suffer, the environment is trashed, and crazy-as-f*ck progressives like Commie Kay begin fantasizing about the nationalization of entire industries… 1

This is what you have to look forward to. Complete negligence in infrastructure, medicine, the judiciary, piloting (!) and untold numbers of other areas where Americans will be unable to hold anyone accountable while the regime is more interested in filling diversity quotas than they are in competent management of these industries. They’d rather have more black lesbians flying planes than have fewer planes crash. That’s it. That’s where your accountability is. 1 1
