3. Deregulation is the answer to our problems

says the repub candidates for California Governor.

This is what happens when you put dangerous chemicals into highly populated areas and then
don't regulate or enforce regulations.

People cannot go home
Nearby businesses closed on a major highway
Schools closed
People losing paychecks.
Traffic snarled everywhere

Experts have no real plan other than to wait for the tank to "fail"

It is a shit show of the highest magnitude

Living within a couple of miles of the "Blast Zone" but just barely outside the evacuation area gives me a whole different perspective going forward when these things happen elsewhere in the country. I now know what the communities go through.

Oh, I forgot to mention the constant sound of news helicopters flying above your neighborhood that sound like a lawnmower right outside your window.

Yes repubs, you keep running on "deregulation". See how far that gets you now.
