What a horrendous situation. Some people are just animals… and I feel like I’m insulting some animals a bit by saying that. I googled, but was unable to find any info on whether he’s been to trial or sentenced yet. Hopefully soon.
TCEQ has no power to enforce anything in Texas without the Governor and AG’s cooperation. Mark my words. As long as Texas is run by conservatives, absolutely nothing at all will be done to protect the environment in Texas. Absolutely nothing. Everything related to the environment is performative in Texas, not substantive.
Conservatives delight in pollution. They equate pollution with freedom. Conservatives in Texas intentionally choose vehicles with the worst exhaust, they litter, they dump chemicals directly down drains, into sewers and into waterways, they “roll coal”, they joyfully embrace chemical plants and they mock absolutely anyone who has any problem with dirty air or water. If you can’t handle chemical-laden air, you are considered weak or “librul”. Clean water is for pussies.
There’s a reason the number one cancer research center in the U.S. is based in Houston. The air is famously polluted by nearby refineries that do not report what they release into the air to the public. They are permitted to “self-report” that they are not violating any rules, but there is no actual check performed by TCEQ without a great deal of advance notice and preparation.
Texas is a conservative haven of airborne and waterborne carcinogens. Musk knew that when he moved here. That’s the reason polluters move here. Because conservatives fucking love pollution.
When I hear of a conservative in Texas getting a brutal form of cancer, I just smile and nod because I presume they’ve achieved their goal. It’s the only silver lining in Texas, other than the silver-laden clouds.
Agreed. I’ve read an article hear and there over the past couple years about this and how a reckoning is coming. Space-X leaving California in favor of Texas is too big an advertisement for their brand. They won’t do anything to upset the Musky child.
Meyer’s 98-year-old mother Joan Meyer, also a co-owner of the newspaper, lived with him and was home at the time of the raid. She collapsed and died the day after the raid, and Meyer blamed her death on the stress of the raid.
Maybe but at 98 she could have just died at any time
Proximate cause (but if) and preponderance of evidence are what decides that in civil trials. Cody and the county are going to lose on both for her wrongful death suit.
Worker’s rights transgressions? Yes. Bulldozing a frog pond? Yes. Dumping mercury? No, that makes no sense. I can’t see where mercury would be introduced in any meaningful quantities.
Well, I hope some will question the validity of this particular claim after reading my comment. Many more will probably question it after reading the comments, from others, that have found the measurements to likely be recorded incorrectly.
If someone made an accusation of pollution with a substance I could see them using or producing, I would be more inclined to believe it.
Why would anyone question anything based on your comment?
You didn’t link to an article presenting information that supports you. You didn’t link to information showing why mercury in this type of use would be low.
You didn’t present any factual… Anything.
You didn’t even claim to be someone with training in this area that would give your opinion weight.
Your comment is the equivalent to saying you don’t believe elephants are real, but not even saying it is because you have never seen one, which would have still been a weak argument.
Opinions without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.
Glad they’re charging him with the felony. I really really hope he cuts a deal and incriminates the county council members that hired him to be their bulldog in the first place.
He did not go after that council member without their explicit instruction, I promise you.
In 2022, it was reported that Vladimir Putin and his top leadership were developing a backup plan to flee to Venezuela if Russia were defeated in Ukraine.
I love dogs. See it as the one and only positive thing I can say about him. He seems loyal to at least Putin. Who in turn is a dog person himself. Shit, you made me say something good about Putin too. Thanks a lot.
Can we all chop in for a ticket to send him now, save him the trouble of trying to come up with nicknames for Harris and Walz that they don’t turn into positives? Like “Tampon Tim” …“He’s going to stop the red wave!” Which is how Trump ended up building Walz.
How strange that for the party of Law and Order, all of their “heroes” are criminals (Trump, this lady, the Missouri couple with the guns, Kyle Rittenhouse…)
