  • Ah yes the “all the secret experts agree with me” argument, and “if you don’t, you have no idea”. Disregarding that a decade passed where two administrations could have done something about it, and didn’t. Let’s blame the Wright borders for Boeing’s fuckups while we’re at it. After all, if they hadn’t invented the airplane, those accidents wouldn’t have been possible.


  • It’s not “one of my guys”, I’m not even American, I have no idea who Clinton ran against.

    I just don’t condone blaming someone for a disaster that happened a decade after they left office, with two general elections in between.

    The speed of events is very much relevant, specially when it’s preventable. Once you release toxic waste into groundwater it is impossible to get out. Here a simple bill could have undone it, especially as more information was collected over time. Tobacco manufacturers are responsible for continuing to sell tobacco once the harmful effects are known. In particular, whoever is the CEO today. We don’t blame native Americans for coming up with the idea of smoking tobacco leaves.
