Lina Hidalgo (D) looked like a fumbling idiot on KPRC Channel 2 yesterday talking about the Deer Park ITC fire (Houston: high school, university)

You're very selective of what you want the government to regulate, as you are of when we should be "on-topic."

We don't discriminate, you might but "we" don't. Speak for yourself.

I have a couple friends from high school who are moving to Florida for work, and have put their house in La Marque up for sale. You interested? Anyone here interested?

No?

Why not?

It's a really nice house, actually.

Is it something about La Marque? The light switches go on and off just like they do in Katy.

HAPPENING NOW | Early this morning, ITC said they are facing a setback after a temporary reduction in water pressure caused the fire to intensify and spread overnight. On Monday, the company said they anticipated the fire being out in two days, although it's not clear if that will still be the case after last night's setback.

Carbon offset taxes are a complete joke, all that'll do is increase the cost of whatever they produce which means the consumer pays more and the companies keep doing what they want to.

Hint: All the fines and regulations in the world aren't going to put out that fire, democrats are the party that loves to tax anything and everything they can dream of to increase the amount of money they can waste on pet projects. Perhaps Lina Hidalgo should investigate whether this toxic black smoke is disproportionately being blown over lower income, poor communities by the racist gulf breeze.

Do you believe it's wise to keep electing politicians that want to gut the EPA?

Just answer this question, this will tell me all I need to know.

I've never voted for or supported any politician that wanted to "gut the EPA".

What regulation did the EPA have in place, that doesn’t exist today, that 100 government employees could have prevented an industrial fire, do tell?

I'm expecting something deeply profound like "but Orange Man Bad!!!"

Right, and Bill Clinton did not have sexual relations with that woman. (See, I throw shade equally to all deserving targets)

Whose EPA was responsible for this? Who thought that some TCEQ vans roaming around flooded streets could gather better information than a modern NASA plane?

Probably people you voted for and support, from the sound of it.

Your own link discredits your claims.

During Harvey’s aftermath, the TCEQ and the EPA used ground technology and also flew a single-engine plane that took photos and used infrared technology to monitor pollution levels.

The TCEQ said in a statement that the type of data the NASA plane collects isn’t useful to determine impacts to public health because “it monitors air quality at flying altitude, not ground levels where people are located.”

The agency added that NASA’s offer of data collection was made two weeks after the storm and they were proposing to fly even later.

The statement also said that the data collected by the TCEQ and the EPA through various means, including helicopters equipped with Forward-Looking Infrared (FLIR) cameras, the EPA’s Airborne Spectral Photometric Environmental Collection Technology (ASPECT) plane, the TCEQ’s air monitoring network and investigator teams on the ground, “were useful in determining sources of concern so that teams could be sent to investigate further.”

There wasn't just some "TCEQ vans roaming around flooded streets", once again you're trying too hard and again you are wrong.

Both the Hulk and Strong from Fallout 4.
