I would take years for him to fix all of them.
Looks like it’s time for more rules, not less. I don’t like that at all, but it seems people can’t be trusted to always do the right things and need regulation.Huey » 23 Feb 2023, 12:41 pm » wrote: ↑ Even it was the brakes the rule Trump got rid off did not apply to this train.

No, IDIOT, the RULES didn't meet the REQUIREMENTS of the LAW as passed.....Hence, the RULE WAS NOT REPEALED, it was NEVER IMPLEMENTED!!Xavier_Onassis » 23 Feb 2023, 1:10 pm » wrote: ↑ The regulations were removed by a Republican Congess, but Biden has not had enough votes to restore them.

”Yeah, dem folks in East Palestine caught a rough break, but watcha gonna do? **** happens…”
:punched

Do you disagree with the reasons given?Ohio's governor, Mike DeWine, also says he requested disaster assistance from FEMA, which he says was denied. But the White House says that's because this is not like a hurricane, tornado or another natural disaster where there's widespread property damage. Also, there is a party that is responsible, Norfolk Southern Railroad (ph), that has promised cleanup funding and other aid. Federal authorities say that FEMA has been in regular communication with state and local officials as have a host of other federal agencies. And state officials do confirm that.

No.
You have to be one stupid son of a bitch to swallow those talking points. Congress does not write regulatons. Regulatory bodies do. Congress OVERSEES those bodies - but it doesn't sign their homework, you uneducated ****.Xavier_Onassis » 23 Feb 2023, 1:10 pm » wrote: ↑ The regulations were removed by a Republican Congess, but Biden has not had enough votes to restore them.

I bitch slapped him massively with the FACTS regarding the LAWS that Congress passed that require GAO review of the costs vs the benefits. Benefits of the "rule" did not help one iota with the problems and therefore the costs exceeded any cost benefit out there. THAT was in the Obama Law, not Trump's. AND that train would NOT have been required to be equipped with the EBS since it only had 3 cars of "chemicals' and the rule required I believe 50 or more.Cannonpointer » 24 Feb 2023, 10:43 am » wrote: ↑ Oh, look.

In an email, an NTSB spokesperson told VERIFY the train involved in the Ohio derailment was not equipped with ECP brakes. On Feb. 16, NTSB chair Jennifer Homendy addressed misinformation spreading about the derailment on Twitter.
Homendy directly acknowledged that the ECP brake rule would not have prevented the crash if implemented because the train that derailed in East Palestine was a mixed freight train that contained only three placarded Class 3 flammable liquids cars. Homendy said the ECP braking rule would have applied only to high-hazard flammable trains.

“This means even if the rule had gone into effect, this train wouldn't have had ECP brakes,” Homendy said.
Keep reading there Professor Subaru Brokeback!!! It ALSO states that the GAO as well as OTHER organizations recalculated and the SAME OUTCOME was achieved. The LAW is an OBAMA law and provided for a GAO cost analysis and the BENEFITS had to overwhelmingly outweigh the costs. IT DIDN'T in all cases.Xavier_Onassis » 24 Feb 2023, 12:17 pm » wrote: ↑ A few months after the repeal, the Associated Press released a study that found that the DOT’s analysis omitted up to $117 million in estimated future damages from train derailments that could be avoided by using electronic brakes.
Well, the cost of not having modern braking probably will be justified by not having to pay for more derailments. They were probably counting on just replacing wheel bearings every so often, after they had already caught fire.
