Ohio, where the Ohio river system is poisoned in a aquifer that feeds 5 million Americans.
Texas, enviro impacts unknown but there are chemicals involved.
South Carolina, again impacts unknown at this time.

But everyone is worried about balloons.

Where is Pete Butttag ? still on "maternity leave" ?

BYW no Red Cross or FEMA in Ohio. A little too dangerous for them it seems.

The rail system is breaking down, I have been on the alarms about this for awhile. We took out too many miles of track, and railroad management have ground their railroads into the dirt looking to squeeze out more profits, and the government allowed them to do it. For many years now they have been overly shrinking the workforce, again allowed by our government. Our government fucking the workers last year was the last straw.

Buckle Up.

That train in Ohio was 150 cars long. We once had agreement in this country that trains should never be more than 100 cars....80 would be better.
 
They lied.....it was a "save the planet" spending program.

Nope, was an infrastructure bill;

“$110 billion for roads and bridges. In addition to construction and repair, the funding also helps pay for transportation research at universities, funding for Puerto Rico’s highways, and “congestion relief” in American cities.”

“$66 billion for railroads. Funding includes upgrades and maintenance of America’s passenger rail system and freight rail safety, but there's nothing for high-speed rail.”

“$65 billion for the power grid. The bill would fund updates to power lines and cables, in addition to providing money to prevent hacking of the power grid”

“$65 billion for broadband. Includes funding to expand broadband in rural areas and in low-income communities. Approximately $14 billion of the total would help reduce Internet bills for low-income citizens.”

“$55 billion for water infrastructure. This funding includes $15 billion for lead pipe replacement, $10 billion for chemical cleanup, and money to provide clean drinking water in tribal communities.”

“$50+ billion for cybersecurity. This resilience funding will protect infrastructure from cybersecurity attacks and address flooding, wildfires, coastal erosion, and droughts”

“$39 billion for public transit. Funding here provides for upgrades to public transit systems nationwide. The allocation also includes money to create new bus routes and help make public transit more accessible to seniors and disabled Americans.”

“$25 billion for airports. This allocation provides funding for major upgrades and expansions at U.S. airports. Air traffic control towers and systems would receive $5 billion of the total for upgrades.”

“$21 billion for the environment. These monies would be used to clean up superfund and brownfield sites, abandoned mines, and old oil and gas wells.”

“$17 billion for ports. Half of the funds in this category would go to the Army Corps of Engineers for port infrastructure. Additional funds would go to the Coast Guard, ferry terminals, and reduction of truck emissions at ports.”

“11 billion for safety. Appropriations here are to address highway, pedestrian, pipeline, and other safety areas with highway safety getting the bulk of the funding.”

“$8 billion for western water infrastructure. Ongoing drought conditions in the western half of the country will be addressed through investments in water treatment, storage, and reuse facilities.”

“$7.5 billion for electric school buses. With an emphasis on bus fleet replacement in low-income, rural, and tribal communities”

Oh one of limited IQ, Pete Butttag isn't a train engineer and the NTSB is investigating these. Should they announce to all you slack jawed yokel rubes outside the impacted area every move that is made

You listed $519 billion of the 1,200 billion that is to be spent, and not all of the 519 will be spent to improve infrastructure....a lot of that is WOKE ideology spending.

I dont know who Steve Hilton is.

I always like the dramatic assumption that “we don’t care”. It’s the very reason I and others have addresses the infrastructure problem, is because we care about the human tragedy that is associated with their failure.

I am so glad that we have a government that enforces building codes after seeing the devastation in Turkey.

LIAR, the federal government does not do building codes, that is the states.

An achievement, yes. Major? Historical? No. It won't even be a footnote in some dry academic text 30 years from now.
