Mayor Pete has struck again. Why does that guy hate trains?

 

[johngaltshrugged]

Little known fact-- the avg. train derailment releases less toxic waste than Pedo Joe's diaper changer handles in a day

 

[Anomalism]

There are lots of train derailments every year. Turning it into a conspiracy is just a new fad.

Nothing to see here.

Yeah...another train derailed. Like they have since the 1800's.

Joking aside, as a general rule, it is unwise to place very much stock in “confidence.”

Coincidence can happen, of course. But, it often reveals something beneath the surface.

Why are we seeing such a rash of derailments recently?

Perhaps we've built more infrastructure than we can manage or maintain.

Go look up the stats for how many trains derail each year. You might be surprised.

What are they? Save me the search.

What are they? Save me the search.

The average is about 1,700 annually. In the last 20 years alone the average will be a bit less than that, but it's still a lot. These things derail pretty regularly.

Cool info. Seriously. Can you provide the source and maybe a link? Thanks.

Just Google it. It's common public knowledge. There were over 1,000 derailments in 2022, and that's just in the states. That's an average of almost 3 per day.

I could. I probably will. But lest we forget, I clearly asked you to save me from having to do that.

You're not


The question is...why haven't you folks gave a **** about the hundreds of train derailments in the previous 10 or so years?



The scraping of the barrel for shit to be outraged about is telling....just think, at this point in Trump's first term -- he had over 90 indictments racked up by his admin.....kinda takes away the attention from train derailments I am sure...
