"The government is killing you,"
A few of my friends got into politics after college and have various government jobs. During college they were all like:
"Damn, I really want to kill everyone. My mom, dad, you, kids on the playground, birds and the bees in sky and the fishes in the sea. I want to smell the UV rays burning everyone's skin through the holes in the ozone. (they would get really poetic about it sometimes)."
Now I know why they wanted to join the government. 
Next time there's a derailment combined with a hazardous spill, I'll be demanding my government hire randoms from places like Twitter to get in there and take care of it. People on the internet from thousands of miles away always know more about these things and would have done a better job in a shorter period of time.
Ignoring your hilarious sarcasm that masks your actual position: I'm going to go on official record here and point out that out of all the sources I used, the Associated Press and the New York Times were clearly the worst place to get information. I'd like anyone who reads this comment to reflect on how batshit insane that is.
I'm not sure it's insane. Reporters just do their job. They're not experts on anything other than, reporting. I once heard a reporter ask a scientist, "How did the water on Mars get there? Did it rain or something?" They often don't know what they're talking about, and don't know what kind of questions to ask.
If I was taking a position, when it comes to information, I'd say everything, from all directions, is unreliable.
Just looking around this comment section I see a tweet suggesting there were two more toxic spills involving trains. Doing my own research led me to discover that's not accurate. Also learned there are roughly 1700 derailments annually but looking around the internet, I'm seeing people acting like it's unusual or alarming.
Toxic spills are nasty and quite common on their own, without alarming clickbait headlines. I'm seeing this being compared to Chernobyl. That's pushing it but of course that sort of thing gets high ratings in social media. Volcanoes release hydrogen chloride as well. Millions of years worth compared to one tiny manmade train car explosion. Hydrochloric acid works great removing hard water stains from the toilet. And most of that shit was probably in the cigarettes I smoked for twenty years...
Maybe I'm just desensitized.
Anyone could do a better job. Another one in Michigan today,this is insanity
I disagree. Majority of the population hasn't even taken a basic WHMIS course. Majority of the population, if presented an emergency including fire, would pull out a phone and record it, rather than grab a fire extinguisher.
I was supposed to say "this is clearly not going on" but forgot to type "not" because I had already typed "not" in the parenthesis. Not the best way to set the tone. Oops.
That is obviously (or not so obviously)
notwhat's going down here, and it deserves a bit more respect and actual research than that.
lol. Im just messing around with the idea that government exists to murder everyone.
This is a local issue, im not informed on it too much, or wish to be. I mean it sucks, toxic is bad, but this is not the Turkey earthquake with 40 000 people dead.
It will likely be worse, they’ll be 300K with cancer because of this within a few years.
nice yeah...
Also someone tried to tell me that even the Turkish gov thinks USA caused that quake. I don't know if I'm ready to keep doing conspiracy posts lol.
Oh. Now USA can cause earthquakes. 😂
Weird how they only attack their allies that have countries in seismically active zones. Turkey, Japan... lol
Yeah something about HAARP satellites shooting high intensity low frequency beams at the edges of the quake before it happened. Maybe I'll look into it but energy beams summoning the volcano god might be out of my depth.
Earthquakes are natural disasters, of course in Turkey buildings were not prepared for that, better not to think about what would happen in USA with an earthquake of 7 on the Richter scale.
And yes, is a local disaster but happened while all the security measures were ignored, the syndicates told that this could happen, and here we are one year later. Biden even forbid one of the transport syndicates strikes.
They don’t use the Richter scale since over decade ago. When it’s reported now it’s a new scale where a 7 is approx a 4.4 on Richter/ look into it
Richter Scale hasn’t been used in 15 years. This wasn’t a 7 on Richter scale. The new scale a 9 is a 6 on Richter. Media reports the new scale not Richter
Bullshit. Richter scale is the international measure for earthquakes still in the world.
I know there is another scale, the scale MW but it doesn't diminish the importance of earthquakes as you said, in fact, it adds more magnitude levels because the Richter scale couldn't measure above 7 disasters.
The magnitude of this earthquake has been huge, there is a fracture of 200km long in Turkey as result of it, nothing similar to a 4.5 earthquake.
Of course it doesn’t, I didn’t suggest it did. Just making a note that 99% of people don’t know this.I simply made a factual statement the number would be much lower on old scale. I didn’t in anyway question how horrible this event was at all. Especially knowing it was made worse on purpose by USA technology.
USA would be fine if it hit there. The paper houses in the US would suffer less damage than the concrete buildings in Turkey.
