North Dakota: Officials Tell People to Go Ahead and Breathe the Toxic Air from Chemical Train Fire, by Andrew Anglin

This is the way the US government deals with toxic waste incidents:



  • They bring in experts to assess the situation, asking them if anyone is going to die immediately

  • The experts say “no, it will be at least a decade before the cancers start to show up”

  • The government laughs and says “haha, who gives a shit then? We will have all taken our money and be working in the private sector by then”

  • The government announces “everything is fine”

  • The media says anyone who disagrees is a conspiracy theorist or a Russian bot

  • Years later, when people start dying, documents are released showing that the government knew all along

  • No one is punished


This is called “democracy,” and if you don’t like it, you can move to China, where you don’t even have the freedom to walk through the streets naked in front of children.
