A) is just your partisan take on Buttigieg not showing enough concern.


Far as I know EPA was on the ground immediately and DOT was not far behind. That’s an empty complaint you’d never have with a repub admin. Just gotta make sure you have some sort of complaint if a dem’s in charge.

B) is less than an empty complaint - it’s false based on the article. After the Trump admin overturned the rule, the article points out that the initial cost benefit analysis was deemed inaccurate because it did not sufficiently account for costs of derailments. The Trump DOT reran the numbers, determined that costs still exceeded benefits and left the situation unchanged. Buttigieg claims that the law does not allow him to reinstate the reg, which was apparently the Trump admin’s conclusion too.

So, Pete apparently didn’t do things the law won’t allow him to do.
