Yeah i guess so. I'm happy with bringing back the guillotines. Not sure if we'll agree there but it does sound like a solution.
Like still have due process, but end in guillotines.

Why did you just move the goalposts so hard?
First you complain that the government won't even sue to take 2% of the corporation's wealth.
Now suddenly bankruptcy (all the wealth) and multi-billion dollar fines aren't good enough, only criminal charges are.
So the first thing you said was dumb. Simple as.

Why do you bring an example that's so easy to knock down?
One Google search and boom.. Knoa Pharma to buy Purdue pharma.. (Whenever this happens it is just a PR recycling and a "hard" rebranding or asset distributing; all parties win specially lawyers)
.. Sacklers have never faced criminal charges.. something something public backlash.. (Gimme a break)

Didn't the tell the people in Ohio something very similar as all the fish and other animals were dying? I for one don't believe them they have no credibility left in this matter.

> Typical of government officials to not simply place a lawsuit against the oligarchs so as to not diminish their wealth 2% .
The railroad is boned. They will be paying for this for a long time.
It takes a long time but you don't want to mess with the government when it has public outrage behind it. Just ask bankrupt Purdue Pharma.

Careful. Many people have a deep-seated need to panic and victimize themselves. They will lash out if you take that away from them. Best just to sit back and let them search for culprits they can blame for their existential angst.

Reply to Biden-Harris Administration Announces Nearly $19 Million in Bipartisan Infrastructure Law Funding to Address Emerging Contaminants like PFAS in Drinking Water in Maine | US EPA by Shake-Spear4666
When we were looking to buy, we ended up crossing towns like Fairfield off our list due to PFAS. Let's hope this money actually goes to help those communities

Which means we didn't get rain yesterday that would have had anything to do with Ohio

I'm sure you've seen the same map everyone is sharing like crazy. You probably also saw that map is from 2/8. It's 2/18.

Question about planning a family vacation from Philly up to Maine this June. We have a toddler and a 1yr old.
Where do you recommend we visit, and what kinds of kid-friendly activities are there? Also, if we drive up, are there multiple places to stop and see along the way?
Any package deals you know of (ie. packages including lodging and several activities like boating, museums, meals, etc)?

So after seeing all the weather maps of the gases and chemicals floating up into the atmosphere and towards new England, where do you think the rain is getting contaminated from?
Again, if you don't want to acknowledge that the shit falling out of the sky is the same shit that flew into the sky upwind of us...that's fine.

The railroad company isn't who I'm looking to for environmental impacts related to wind and weather patterns

That's not going to be Norfolk Southerns cost at the end of all this. They've already been contacted by the government in regards to it being a super fund site. They're going to be paying out the nose.

Yes it does. It's obvious that the railroad company isn't telling us the extent of the situation. If you don't want to see that, that's fine.

Okay, that does absolutely zero to reinforce the assertion that we're dealing with some type of "dirty rain" here in Maine

Got any science to back that up? Second guessing is easy different issue entirely. Is the railroad outrageously irresponsible and should they be taken to the cleaners? Sure. That doesn’t mean DEPs data is fake and they’re part of some giant cover up.
