Summary

As you have likely seen, a horrible and completely preventable environmental disaster is rapidly getting worse in Ohio - and a ton of blame can go around - from Trump to Biden - and certainly to Norfolk Southern - which owned and operated the train that derailed. It's super easy for Democrats to blame Trump - who repealed policies that might've prevented this accident. And it's easy for Republicans to blame Biden - who seems to have not only bungled the response to it, but also broke up the union strike that was fighting for better policies, better pay, and more staff for the trains. But the truth is that both Biden and Trump failed here and both bent over backwards to help the train industry make more money at the cost of safety. And now the chickens have come home to roost. Let me unpack and explain it.
