Train derailment danger being covered up?

[McDad]

You finally broke out of the recruiting forum .

lucky us.

Umm, I said ‘I love going to going to New Orleans and always have a great time, but you need to keep your head on a swivel’ .. was that bad delivery? Be honest.. lol.. I personally find Atlanta less dangerous than New Orleans lol.. and yes, they were calling me a bumpkin lol.. not exactly accurate lol

We enjoy New Orleans, too.

I'm guessing that what is best for me and mine would closely mirror what is best for you and yours.
Maybe there's more to that short term / long term thing.

And there it is. This is why the federal government MUST be reformed, shrunk and declawed if we ever want the derision and disdain to ease.

Love to visit NO. Couldn't live there but great place to visit.

a few to choose from:

Abortion
Border control
Social Security
Covid mandates
Size and scope of Federal Government
Crime and Punishment
Gun control
Healthcare

should be enough to get started

Abortion - no restrictions during first 15 weeks - increasing restrictions after that point.
Border control - enforceable limits and restrictions
Social security - what about it?
Covid mandates - I supported GA's approach
Size and scope of Federal Government - it should only be as big as it needs to be
Crime and punishment - less crime - fairer punishment
Gun control - only what is rational and reasonable
Healthcare - remove the waste that adds no value
Education - vouchers for 10% of public school students to be chosen by the public schools.

You know your list was intentionally broad, but I get your angle.

I know, right? It’s beautiful and I get so fat lol.. WW2 museum is next on my lost.. everyone says it’s awesome

 

[OrangeTsar]

I hardly ever see that portrayal.
Sounds like a massive inferiority complex fueled by outside influences.

I'll ignore the vague answers to some and non-specific terms like rational, reasonable, fair.

Which of these positions do you consider moving to the right to bridge the divide?

I need to head back.
They have a full appreciation of continuums. Hell, that's pretty much all they deal in.....especially Weezer.

Take your pick

Nawlins stinks, literally. Been there a few times and smelled it. But the food, ohhhhh boooooy!

The follow up is: And which would you consider moving to the left to bridge the divide? This needs to be a two way approach.

Now you guys wouldn't take more shots at me than any other poster would you?
That hardly seems fair.

It's an X and Y thing...you understand.

Yea; maybe some just deserve it more than others.

My son and I did that last time.

I got too melancholy. the death and destruction was simply too much for me to take in in a few hours.

I think it is good. Definitely worth it. But if I went again, I would pace myself better.

sure

on abortion I'm right with Luther (depending on what he means by restrictions)
on the border I'm an advocate of guest worker programs
on crime and punishment I'm for criminal justice reform for non-violent offenders (greatly reduce incarceration)

off the top of my head

Gotta admit....that's intriguing timing.




Three guesses where much of it was filmed. "Wow. Here’s a movie just made about a train derailing with toxins in Ohio - filmed in Ohio where it just happened, & many of the extras were locals from East Palestine Ohio who, in the film,evacuated. Then months later they had to do so in real life! Bonkers! "


Kinda weird how just months before disasters we keep having stuff pop up first....

I watched the trailer and noticed that all the cars were from the 70s/80s and assumed being a Netflix promotion it was just an old movie. Turns out it was from 2022. They must have spent a small fortune finding mint condition cars from that era to put in this movie. Wikipedia claims the budget was $100 million and the box office take was a massive $34,818, nicely done Netflix.

How is it going to get high "box office" numbers as a Netflix release. That 40k probably came from a couple small special screenings.

 

[LouderVol]

I am willing to vote against the short term financial best interest for me and my family for what I believe to be the greater long term good......di it frequently.

Whereas you seem to be an admitted "short term impact to your own wallet" voter.

I think your "long term" thinking isnt nearly as long as you like to pretend it is.

Fair enough, and reasonable views.

For me, I am a foreign policy hawk, so would move that to the right, and favor private sector healthcare, but based on the nonprofit model in effect in the 50s-70s before for-profit hospital and clinic chains took off in the 80s.

I do believe that if the vitriol were taken out of the debate, we could get back to the 1970s and 80s when we actually debated topics instead of just accusing each other of being evil.

Why publish "box office" revenue if it's only going to play on Netflix?

I don't know, probably because Wikipedia has that standard format for pages on films.
