Better Lawsuits Through Chemistry Several emergency personnel who responded to the definitely-not-an-explosion and fire at the Arkema chemical plant in Crosby, Texas, are suing the French-owned chemical manufacturer for more than $1 million, claiming plant operators minimized the dangers of entering the area. The suit argues the company should have taken better precautions against the chemicals losing refrigeration, which led to their spontaneously igniting in the early morning of August 31.
The affected officers will soon see the adjusted cost of the chemicals they were breathing deducted from their pay. Of course they will get a 10% law enforcement discount. Meanwhile, a new Texas state law will give chemical plants an automatic property tax credit for each ton discharged into the atmosphere. After all, it is lost property, right?
well, the state assumed that a new board would read through all the fine print INCLUDING the new law about coordinating dam releases. Rep. Huberty is fucking PISSED. he wants heads on pikes. I know he's a Republican, but he opposes things like school vouchers and bathroom bills, so he's alright. he also totally wins the Colonel Sanders lookalike contest every Friday during the regular session.

I hope the EPA takes their proverbial sling blade to Harris County Officials (mother) and Arkema (Jesse).
I think Trump will be asking you if you can be his new WH press-critter.

You vote for Republicans, you're gonna get exactly this, Texans - and the rest of America should listen up.
And nobody's gonna make them pay for harming others. It's the Texas way.
Acceptable description, but I don't know how that will play in the marketing department.
I don't believe this would bother any Texan who would be inclined to vote for Republicans.
They didn't build that! Wait wut?
A lot of Texans don't live near those plants, after all. And most Texans are not First Responders.
(This is both horrifying and the company speeches total horseshit.)
Gherkins seems like a shoo-in!!
