At a conference this morning, Transportation Secretary Peter Buttigieg, aka Pothole Pete, failed to mention the 50-car train derailment in Ohio. It led to a controlled burn sending some poisonous gases into the air in East Palestine, Ohio, and in the direction of Pennsylvania and New York City. Some people complained of fish and livestock dying after the plumes permeated the air.
Buttigieg did, however, say too many white people work construction. He’s still on the racist jobs, racist roads, racist everything. His solution is to hire people by race.
He should really address this with the unions. Apparently, he thinks blue-collar jobs are too privileged.
Mr. Buttigieg, the son of a famous Marxist professor, seems to have strange priorities. Forget derailments, but look for ways to have fewer whites in blue-collar jobs?
USA Today reports: on the derailment Days after crews released and burned toxic chemicals carried by a train that wrecked in Ohio, residents were concerned about toxic substances that could be lingering in their evacuated neighborhoods.
About 50 cars, including 10 carrying hazardous materials, derailed in a fiery crash Friday in East Palestine, according to rail operator Norfolk Southern and the National Transportation Safety Board.
Vinyl chloride was released into the air Monday from five of those cars before crews ignited it to get rid of the highly flammable toxic chemicals in a controlled environment, creating a dark plume of smoke.
The chemicals are still lingering, people are finding dead fish and animals, and it’s heading for New York City. We can’t speak to the other chemicals.
The derailment should have been mentioned:
VIDEOS AT LINK........................
I’m not interested in anything that this sodomite thinks
Yeah let’s start an affirmative action program for construction engineers, plumbers, carpenters, brick layers, framers and HVAC guys.
Oh, and building inspectors. Good idea. If you want every building to look like the Leaning Tower of Pisa.
The only way for racism to end is for everyone to.stop.focusing on race.
People whose first thought is of race are maladjusted.
If you want every building to act like the ones in Turkey..................
Mayor Pete, you need to get your mind right!
You are obsessing over the wrong things.
Not to mention, most construction crews I see in my area are run by Latinos. They usually have only other Latinos working for them. Personally, I don’t care. People tend to chose those most like themselves, but sometimes they will block other colors from getting those jobs. Bias usually goes both ways.
Oh yeah?, where?.
I dont see any whites in construction here in the Houston, Conroe area.
I dont see any white dump truck drivers either.
All of these jobs are dominated by the mexicans.
funny... here in Texas 90% are hispanic
Buttigieg says his partner is a pain in the ass.

Uh, go check ANY construction site and you will see otherwise. Mostly ILLEGALS.
Racist POS.
They are in the tank for the major train companies that’s why train issues are a non story.
At some point we need some leaders with the courage to recognize there is an assault on white people with racist language and laws and that someone needs to stand up and demand that everyone be treated equally.
Equality is Justice, equity is a marxist disaster.
Can’t be true. Aren’t the proggies always claiming that black workers built the country?
I remember Robert Reich, the malignant dwarf, said that he didn’t want any of the “shovel-ready jobs” of the 0bama administration to go to white men.
Not many boobs more incopetent than (failed) Mayor Pete.
He has a point. Lowering the number of white people in the medical industry has really improved the quality of care.
Last weeks train derailment and last years bridge collapse brought to you by Crack Head Construction Company. Their motto. “We get ‘er done cheaper”
This hasn’t been the case for 50 years.
Proof he is a bigger fool than Biden
