Not in the U.S., no.

The idiot who currently runs the EPA* will no doubt state that “Mother nature took care of washing these waste sites clean for the great state of Texas” and declare victory.

The perfect corporate paradise, devoid of any common sense regulations, shows its weakness and limitations. You will reap what you sow.

Anyone who knows anything about Houston knows it is ONE BIG toxic waste site.

“Organic peroxides, such as alkyl hydroperoxides, aryl hydroperoxides, ketone peroxides, dialkyl peroxides, diacyl peroxides, peroxy esters, peroxydicarbonates, peroxyacetals, and inorganic peroxides are the most important radical initiators that are widely used in industrial processes in the manufacture of…

I feel bad for anyone affected by this who isn’t able to vote by age or citizenship, or who voted to give a crap about poisoning the ground. These are the kinds of nightmare consequences of voting for politicians who tell you science is a lie and the environment doesn’t matter, defund the EPA, who cares. It’s not some…

Pretty fucking lousy, thanks.

Gee, I wonder what the socioeconomic/racial make up of these neighborhoods which are inconveniently located near these toxic sites in a state that doesn’t believe in zoning laws.

There is no plan, and will never be a plan to address the waste, nuclear and otherwise, that we have created on earth.

Don’t forget that amid all this, the Governor of Texas has refused aid from Canada and isn’t willing to open up the state’s $10 BILLION emergency/rainy day fund, but will retweet fundraising campaigns aiming to raise far less.

How’s that “making gubmint small enough to drown in a bathtub” thing working for you, Texas?

stupid libruls....You can stand your ground vs toxic waste with an AR-15...guns solve everything

Point is this was a 1000-1 year flood. This kind of event is going to become more common in the following years. Apparently, a plan C isn’t going to be enough going forward. We need to plan better.

And president Tinyhand McTraitor has done everything he can to sabotage the EPA. MSM doesn’t seem to give a shit.

“and they should have been properly protected against flooding”

I will agree with you that they have not been LGBTQ-friendly in the past, until as recently as late 2015/mid 2016. Since then, they have made a point of including characters of various identities/backgrounds in Overwatch, their only game to release since major staff changes in 2016. In addition, they have supported…

The confederate flag in the game is used by a government of corrupt, cruel, dimwit rednecks (who are then replaced by a bunch of corrupt, cruel, fascist rednecks, but nevermind that). It’s so unsubtle I’m hesitant to call it satire. It is apparently too subtle for some people.

Yep, white trash in space is the theme. Flag fits.

What the hell is wrong with you?

You mean Blizzard, the same company that made the flagship character of their multi-million-selling shooter a blatant lesbian, is homophobic?
