Reply to comment by Fun-Gap4015 in Maine will need weeks to determine impacts of Ohio train derailment on air quality by STDMachine

This seems deeply insecure. People need to freak out more but know how to direct their anger. Norfolk Southern spent a shit ton to lobby to repeal brake regulations and they overwork their workers.

You think it's deeply insecure because you're projecting. You see what you look for.

I'm addressing the individuals reacting to the air quality of Maine, not the disaster itself.

I'm not projecting, and I'm personally not freaking out. I let it sink in a long time ago we're screwed. However for a lot of others, it's becoming clear we are existentially threatened right now by climate change and infrastructure breaking down because of a horrible system that makes money on both climate change and having shitty infrastructure. I think if more people freaked out 30 years, we'd be in better shape.

Thats your opinion though. And mine is contrary. I've got better things to do than care about things I can't change

I live my life too and enjoy it as much as I can as next as the fellow human. I walk my dog and enjoy good food and company of friends and family. I'm not at home doom scrolling 24/7. But ignoring facts is really not going to do you much good. I wish you luck with the better things you have to do. I hope you continue to have the privilege to do them

I'm not denying climate change I'm also not really worrying about it. I can recycle and acknowledge the need to improve our lives without losing sleep over it
