Amazing.

I pointed this out to 'friends' within 24 hours of this happening.

That they started the fire, and it did not make sense to start a controlled burn, given the nature of the container tank cars.

They all called me a conspiracy theorist, gaslit me and 'were very worried about my mental health.'

Most of these were the same people who also gaslit me when I did the data analysis on my own during the early stages of covid (basically the first massive wave after the initial outbreaks that were smaller and mostly in cities with airports) and discovered that yes indeed, the more Republican an area is, controlling for density, the more covid is spreading and killing people.

Anyway, fuck those morons, if you are a friendly person, hello!, I could use some new friends.

So um...when do they get fined into oblivion?

Oh, that's right, they don't because big corporations own a crap-ton of politicians.
