Why did the Traitor relax rail safety standards? What happened in East Palestine is the direct result of what the Traitor did. You MAGA MAGGOT'S cheered him on when he did and now you are jumping on Biden.

The Biden Administration has responded to East Palestine. The Traitor caused this disaster.
So many uninformed posters are experts on everything in the universe and it's a miracle that their pointy little heads don't explode what with all that information they possess.
First of all, Trump's brake deregulation didn't cause a derailment; a broken axle caused it. Security cameras showed the white-hot wheels glowing as the train moved through the town. Videos posted on this board showed the wheels that were affected.
Trump was correct to veto the rule of special brakes on
All railroad cars instead of just cars carrying hazardous material. It would have cost the railroads hundreds of billions, possibly trillions to put special brakes on every car in the inventory. Hell, the railroads can't even replace the cars taken out of service. Here's some info to back it up.
Why Railroads Can’t Keep Enough Boxcars in Service
Aging symbol of U.S. economic might is being scrapped faster than replacements are built
A shrinking supply of boxcars—once the ubiquitous symbols of U.S. railroads and a rolling bellwether for the economy—is causing a freight-hauling crunch for industries that continue to use them.
The number of boxcars in service in North America fell by 41% in the past decade to slightly less than 125,000 last year as 101,600 cars were scrapped and only about 13,800 replacement were added. That downsizing accelerated a decadeslong shift by railroads to more specialized railcars and intermodal carriers that allow shipping containers to hop from trucks to trains.
While the transition has worked fine for many shippers, paper manufacturers, lumber producers and other companies that rely heavily on boxcars to protect and move heavy shipments say the fleet has declined so much that they’re struggling with a boxcar shortage.
Paper and building products maker Georgia-Pacific LLC. has had to periodically slow production at some paper mills, and idled one mill for a short time recently when it couldn’t obtain boxcars to move its paper. The paper industry accounted for half of the 1.25 million boxcar loads in North America last year.
A shrinking supply of that once-ubiquitous symbol of U.S. economic might, the railroad boxcar, is creating problems for paper goods and other shippers who can’t find enough cars.
